Journal ArticleDOI
The validity of an existing gait classification system when applied to a representative population of children with hemiplegia.
TL;DR: The ability of the Winters' classification system to distinguish between children with higher levels of hemipLegic involvement and children with no physical impairment was demonstrated: the majority of children with hemiplegic CP present with relatively minor gait deviations.

Multidimensional outcome measure of selective dorsal rhizotomy in spastic cerebral palsy
Elena Carraro,S. Zeme,Valentina Ticcinelli,Carlo Massaroni,Michela Santin,Paola Peretta,Andrea Martinuzzi,E. Trevisi +7 more
TL;DR: The complementary use of multiple indicators may improve the evaluation of the results of dorsal rhizotomy and a beneficial outcome measured by these indicators has been found in spastic diplegic children one year after rhizotom.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alternative modelling procedures for pelvic marker occlusion during motion analysis.
TL;DR: Several options for researchers and clinicians to modify the standard body models of motion analysis so that lower limb kinematics may be calculated without reliance on continuous visualisation of anterior pelvic markers are presented.

TL;DR: The results showed a significant improvement of clinical outcomes in both robotic treatments and in conventional therapy, and suggest future multicentre studies on a larger number of subjects are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interlimb coordination during forward walking is largely preserved in backward walking in children with cerebral palsy.
TL;DR: The current results support previous evidence suggesting that interlimb locomotor coordination depends mostly on the coupling between spinal pattern generators, coordinated by brainstem mechanisms, rather than primarily on cortical structures.

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.
