Alterations in surgical decision making in patients with cerebral palsy based on three-dimensional gait analysis
TL;DR: Comparisons showed that the addition of gait-analysis data resulted in changes in surgical recommendations in 52% of the patients, with an associated reduction in cost of surgery, not to mention the human impact of an inappropriate surgical decision, which is more likely without gait analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Heidelberg foot measurement method: development, description and assessment.
TL;DR: The combination of anatomically and technically oriented marker placement on the foot is a reliable basis for reproducible kinematic measurements and the method was shown to be viable for clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Femoroacetabular impingement alters hip and pelvic biomechanics during gait Walking biomechanics of FAI.
TL;DR: Attenuated hip abduction, frontal ROM and sagittal ROM during gait in FAI individuals may be caused by soft tissue restriction, and decreased frontal pelvic ROM could result from limited mobility at the sacro-lumbar joint.

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.

Measurement of lower extremity kinematics during level walking
TL;DR: The relatively small number of body surface markers used in the VICON system render it easy to implement for use in routine clinical gait evaluations and should be a useful reference for describing and comparing pathologic gait patterns.

Principles of dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the Lagrange Equations are used to model the dynamics of a rigid body and a system of parts of a particle system with respect to the velocity of a single particle.

Justification of triaxial goniometer for the measurement of joint rotation.
TL;DR: Considering all factors in joint functional evaluation, the modified triaxial goniometer is a useful and effective method to provide simple real time three-dimensional angular motion measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
The anthropometry of the manual work space for the seated subject
TL;DR: This paper is an exploration of the space-geometry of hand motions as they relate to young men in the seated posture primarily in functional anthropometry, but the information derived should have practical use in improving the design of work areas.

Walking patterns of men with parkinsonism.
TL;DR: Interrupted-light photography was used to record the simultaneous displacement patterns of multiple body segments of 44 patients with parkinsonism during free-speed and fast walking to quantitatively characterize their gait peculiarities.
