Journal ArticleDOI
Two simple methods for determining gait events during treadmill and overground walking using kinematic data.
TL;DR: Automatic event detection from the two kinematic-based algorithms will aid researchers by accurately determining gait events during the analysis of treadmill and overground walking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in gait parameters between healthy subjects and persons with moderate and severe knee osteoarthritis: a result of altered walking speed?
Joseph A. Zeni,Jill S. Higginson +1 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the influence of walking speed on biomechanical variables associated with joint loading in persons with varying severities of medial compartment knee osteoarthritis found differences in joint kinetics and kinematics except for knee excursion appear to be a result of slower freely chosen walking speeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
The symmetry angle: A novel, robust method of quantifying asymmetry
TL;DR: The results showed that, when using the symmetry index, the interpretation of asymmetry can be highly affected by the choice of reference value, and that the symmetry angle does not require a reference value and is not prone to the same limitations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle contributions to support during gait in an individual with post-stroke hemiparesis
Jill S. Higginson,Felix E. Zajac,Felix E. Zajac,Richard R. Neptune,Steven A. Kautz,Scott L. Delp +5 more
TL;DR: During gait for an individual with post-stroke hemiparesis, adequate body weight support is provided via reorganized muscle coordination patterns of the paretic and non-paretic lower limbs relative to healthy slow gait.
Journal ArticleDOI
A bilateral comparison of posterior capsule thickness and its correlation with glenohumeral range of motion and scapular upward rotation in collegiate baseball players
Stephen J. Thomas,Charles Buz Swanik,Jill S. Higginson,Thomas W. Kaminski,Kathleen A. Swanik,Arthur R. Bartolozzi,Joseph A. Abboud,Levon N. Nazarian +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that PCT does occur on the throwing arm of baseball players and is linked with glenohumeral and scapular alterations and could be used as a noninvasive screening evaluation for overhead athletes to identify those who may be at risk for shoulder injuries due to excessive capsular thickening.
