Journal ArticleDOI
Progression of Gait Ataxia in Patients with Degenerative Cerebellar Disorders: a 4-Year Follow-Up Study.
Mariano Serrao,Giorgia Chini,Carlo Casali,Carmela Conte,Martina Rinaldi,Alberto Ranavolo,Christian Marcotulli,Luca Leonardi,Gaia Fragiotta,Fabiano Bini,Gianluca Coppola,Francesco Pierelli,Francesco Pierelli +12 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that patients with degenerative cerebellar ataxias exhibit gait decline after 4 years from the baseline and patients try to maintain an effective gait by adopting different compensatory mechanisms during the course of the disease in spite of disease progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal markers’ placement on the thorax for clinical gait analysis
TL;DR: The optimal and minimal makers' placement on the thorax for clinical gait analysis was IJ, T2 and T8 or T10, which was identified with a variety of large movements of the trunk, head and arms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defining the medial-lateral axis of an anatomical femur coordinate system using freehand 3D ultrasound imaging
TL;DR: Freehand 3D ultrasound offers an accurate, non-invasive and relatively fast method to locate the medial-lateral axis of the femur for gait analysis and it showed good accuracy in vitro and repeatability in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effective marker placement for functional identification of the centre of rotation at the hip
Stefan Kratzenstein,Evgenios I. Kornaropoulos,Rainald Ehrig,Markus O. Heller,Berry M. Pöpplau,William R. Taylor +5 more
TL;DR: The novel approach presented here allows an understanding of each marker's contribution towards a precise joint determination, and therefore enables the targeted placement of markers for reliable assessment of musculoskeletal kinematics.

Joint kinematics following bi-compartmental knee replacement during daily life motor tasks
Jorg Leffler,Lennart Scheys,Thomas Planté-Bordeneuve,B Callewaert,Luc Labey,Johan Bellemans,Alois Franz +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, despite the presence of differences indicative for retention of pre-operative motion patterns and/or remaining compensations, knee joint kinematics in BKR limbs replicate, for a large range of daily-life motor tasks, the kinematic of the contra-lateral non-affected limbs and healthy controls to a similar extent as they are replicated within both these control groups.

Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal Article
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.
