TL;DR: Since the motor command is normal in DMD, the hyper-activity and co-contractions likely compensate for gait instability and muscle weakness, however may have negative consequences on the muscles and may increase the energy cost of gait.

Modified conventional gait model versus cluster tracking: Test-retest reliability, agreement and impact of inverse kinematics with joint constraints on kinematic and kinetic data
TL;DR: This study provides a comprehensive assessment of the test-retest reliability and agreement between two gait models with various computational methods and suggests that the inverse kinematic models had slightly lower reliability across outcomes compared to the six degrees-of-freedom models.

Alteration of the load-response mechanism of the knee joint during hemiparetic gait following stroke analyzed by 3-dimensional kinematic
TL;DR: The clinically relevant characteristics found were: an increase in knee joint flexion during the initial contact and a movement amplitude below that anticipated in this phase of the walking cycle, which should be taken into account when choosing the best treatment.

Effects of intramuscular psoas lengthening on pelvic and hip motion in patients with spastic diparetic cerebral palsy.
TL;DR: According to the results, intramuscular psoas lengthening was useful in reducing pelvic range of motion at the sagittal plane, but this study suggests that pelvic and hip disruptions of the same plane (sagittal) seem to have a multifactorial etiology.

Development of an active ankle-foot orthosis for hemiplegic patients
TL;DR: The present results indicated that the developed AAFO might have more clinical benefits to treat foot drop and toe drag in hemiplegic patients, comparing with conventional AFOs.

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.

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.
