Journal ArticleDOI
Stair ascent and descent at different inclinations
TL;DR: Findings suggest that there is a certain inclination angle or angular range where subjects do switch between a level walking and a stair walking gait pattern, and no definite signs could be found indicating thatthere is an adaptation or shift in the motor patterns when moving from level to stair walking.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multiple-task gait analysis approach: kinematic, kinetic and EMG reference data for healthy young and adult subjects.
TL;DR: A multiple-task gait analysis protocol including self-selected, increased and decreased speed gait; Walking on toes; walking on heels; step ascending and step descending, and apply it to 40 healthy subjects thus building extensive reference data set is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative comparison of five current protocols in gait analysis
Alberto Ferrari,Maria Grazia Benedetti,Esteban Pavan,Carlo Albino Frigo,D. Bettinelli,Marco Rabuffetti,P. Crenna,Alberto Leardini +7 more
TL;DR: Higher correlations were observed between the protocols with similar biomechanical models, whereas little influence seems to be ascribed to the marker-set, and all five protocols showed good intra-protocol repeatability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Method for the analysis of posture and interface pressure of car drivers
TL;DR: The proposed method, based on the combined use of an optoelectronic system for motion capture and suitable matrices of pressure sensors, has allowed the measurement of a large set of car driver posture parameters and the identification of specific sitting strategies characterising the driving posture, despite the different behaviours of the analysed subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association between impaired turning and normal straight walking in Parkinson's disease.
P. Crenna,Ilaria Carpinella,Marco Rabuffetti,Elena Calabrese,P. Mazzoleni,Raffaello Nemni,Maurizio Ferrarin +6 more
TL;DR: The evidence of abnormal inter-segmental coordination during turning in mildly affected, normally walking patients suggests that task-specific pathophysiological mechanisms, not necessary related to basic locomotor deficits, underlie disturbed directional changes in PD.
