Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative gait analysis in Parkinson's disease: comparison with a healthy control group.
Olumide Sofuwa,Olumide Sofuwa,Alice Nieuwboer,Kaat Desloovere,A M Willems,F Chavret,Ilse Jonkers +6 more
TL;DR: Compared gait parameters in Parkinson's disease during the on-phase of medication cycle with those of healthy elderly control subjects, a lack of a correlation between ankle and hip power generation and walking velocity suggests that peripheral and central factors contribute to lack of forward progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capacity to Increase Walking Speed is Limited by impaired hip and ankle power generation in lower functioning persons post-stroke
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that failure to effectively recruit both hip flexor and ankle plantarflexor muscles of the paretic side limits the potential to increase walking speed in lower functioning hemiparetic subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the effect of backpack load and position during standing and walking using biomechanical, physiological and subjective measures
TL;DR: It is suggested that carrying loads of 10% of body weight and above should be avoided, since these loads induce significant changes in electromyography, kinematics and subjective scores.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized study of combined botulinum toxin type A and casting in the ambulant child with cerebral palsy using objective outcome measures.
Kaat Desloovere,Kaat Desloovere,Guy Molenaers,Ilse Jonkers,Ilse Jonkers,J. De Cat,L De Borre,J Nijs,Maria Eyssen,P. Pauwels,P. De Cock +10 more
TL;DR: Improved gait can be achieved after a multilevel BTX‐A treatment, combined with casting, using a set of 90 gait parameters, and the results in the knee, hip and pelvis imply that multileVEL treatment of the child with CP should start at an early age, in order to prevent development of muscle contractures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Personalized MR-based musculoskeletal models compared to rescaled generic models in the presence of increased femoral anteversion: effect on hip moment arm lengths.
TL;DR: The results showed that rescaled generic models, which do not take into account the subject's femoral geometry, overestimate MAL for hip flexion, extension, adduction, abduction and external rotation, but underestimate Mal for hip internal rotation.
