Fall risk during opposing stance perturbations among healthy adults and chronic stroke survivors.
Prakruti Patel,Tanvi Bhatt +1 more
TL;DR: Difficulty in trunk control during SLIPS among all individuals and compensatory step length among stroke survivors emphasizes higher fall risk for SLIPS than TRIPS among these populations.

Surface electromyography for risk assessment in work activities designed using the “revised NIOSH lifting equation”
Alberto Ranavolo,Tiwana Varrecchia,Sergio Iavicoli,Agnese Marchesi,Martina Rinaldi,Mariano Serrao,Silvia Conforto,Mario Cesarelli,Francesco Draicchio +8 more
TL;DR: A promising use of wearable sEMG sensors in developing instrumental-based risk assessment tools in either the laboratory or workplace is suggested, as some indices discriminate the investigated risk levels and correlate with the variables that generate the damage.

Gait characteristics and functional assessment of children with type I osteogenesis imperfecta.
Adam Graf,Sahar Hassani,Joseph Krzak,Angela Caudill,Ann Flanagan,Ruta Bajorunaite,Gerald F. Harris,Gerald F. Harris,Peter A. Smith +8 more
TL;DR: The evaluation of individuals with OI by means of gait analysis and selected functional assessments, along with an accurate biomechanical model of the lower extremities, is proposed to better understand and predict OI disability and improve quality of life.

Assigning UPDRS Scores in the Leg Agility Task of Parkinsonians: Can It Be Done through BSN-based Kinematic Variables?
Matteo Giuberti,Gianluigi Ferrari,Laura Contin,Veronica Cimolin,Corrado Azzaro,Giovanni Albani,Alessandro Mauro +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the link between kinematic variables and Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores using a few body-worn wireless inertial nodes and represented a first step in the design of a portable system, amenable to be integrated in IoT scenarios, for automatic detection of the degree of severity (in terms of UPDRS score) of PD.

The effect of direct measurement versus cadaver estimates of anthropometry in the calculation of joint moments during above-knee prosthetic gait in pediatrics
TL;DR: The results support the use of direct measurements of anthropometry when examining above-knee prosthetic gait, particularly during swing, and support the need for cadaver studies to be considered when examining patients following amputation.

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.

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.
