Journal ArticleDOI
Pelvis-thorax coordination in the transverse plane during walking in persons with nonspecific low back pain.
Claudine J. C. Lamoth,Onno G. Meijer,Paul I. J. M. Wuisman,Jaap H. van Dieën,Mindy F. Levin,Peter J. Beek +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of walking velocity on pelvis and thorax rotations in patients with low back pain was examined, and spectral analysis was performed to identify clinically useful measures for characterizing the quality of walking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Speeding up or slowing down?: Gait adaptations to preserve gait stability in response to balance perturbations
Laura Hak,Han Houdijk,Frans Steenbrink,Agali Mert,Peter van der Wurff,Peter J. Beek,Jaap H. van Dieën +6 more
TL;DR: Not a lower walking speed, but a combination of decreased step length and increased step frequency and step width seems to be the strategy of choice to cope with medio-lateral balance perturbations, which increases MoS and thus decreases the risk of falling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coordination of leg swing, thorax rotations, and pelvis rotations during gait: The organisation of total body angular momentum
TL;DR: The shift in pelvis-thorax coordination from in-phase to out of phase with increasing velocity was found to depend on the pelvis beginning to move in- phase with the femur, while the thorax continued to counter rotate with respect to the Femur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Steps to Take to Enhance Gait Stability: The Effect of Stride Frequency, Stride Length, and Walking Speed on Local Dynamic Stability and Margins of Stability
TL;DR: It is concluded that adaptations in stride frequency, stride length and/or walking speed can result in an increase of the medio-lateral and backward margins of stability, while these adaptations do not seem to affect local dynamic stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ambulatory Fall-Risk Assessment: Amount and Quality of Daily-Life Gait Predict Falls in Older Adults
Kimberley S. van Schooten,Mirjam Pijnappels,Sietse M. Rispens,Petra J. M. Elders,Paul Lips,Jaap H. van Dieën +5 more
TL;DR: Daily-life accelerometry contributes substantially to the identification of individuals at risk of falls, and can predict falls in 6 months with good accuracy, according to retrospective and prospective analyses.
