Journal ArticleDOI
Gait and cognition: The relationship between gait stability and variability with executive function in persons with and without dementia
TL;DR: Investigation of differences in the relationship between executive function and gait variability and stability during single task and dual task walking in persons with and without dementia indicates that decreased executive function plays an important role in increased gact variability in dementia patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy cost of balance control during walking decreases with external stabilizer stiffness independent of walking speed
TL;DR: Results show that active lateral stabilization during walking involves an energetic cost, which is independent of walking speed, which depends on walking speed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of balance support on the energy cost of walking after stroke
Trienke IJmker,Han Houdijk,Claudine J. C. Lamoth,Ameerani V. Jarbandhan,Danielle Rijntjes,Peter J. Beek,Lucas H. V. van der Woude +6 more
TL;DR: Impaired balance control should not be overlooked as a contributing factor to the increased energy cost of walking in patients with stroke, and improving or assisting Balance support should be considered to reduce theEnergy cost of hemiplegic gait.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of handrail hold and light touch on energetics, step parameters, and neuromuscular activity during walking after stroke
Trienke IJmker,Claudine J. C. Lamoth,Han Houdijk,M Tolsma,van der Lucas Woude,Andreas Daffertshofer,Peter J. Beek +6 more
TL;DR: The use of a handrail allows for a more economic step pattern that requires less muscular activation without resulting in substantial neuromuscular re-organization, and may have beneficial effects on gait economy after stroke, which cannot be accomplished through enhanced somatosensory input alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can external lateral stabilization reduce the energy cost of walking in persons with a lower limb amputation
Trienke IJmker,S. Noten,Claudine J. C. Lamoth,Peter J. Beek,Peter J. Beek,van der Lucas Woude,Han Houdijk +6 more
TL;DR: Contrary to expectations, external lateral stabilization did not result in a larger decrease in the energy cost of walking for LLA compared to able-bodied controls, suggesting that balance control is not a major factor in the increased cost of Walking in LLA.
