Crouched postures reduce the capacity of muscles to extend the hip and knee during the single-limb stance phase of gait
TL;DR: Crouch gait also increased the flexion accelerations induced by gravity at the hip and knee throughout single-limb stance, which helps explain the increased energy requirements and progressive nature of crouch gait in patients with cerebral palsy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Joint stiffness and gait pattern evaluation in children with Down syndrome
TL;DR: Hip joint stiffness was increased in general in patients with DS versus normal subjects while ankle joint stiffness revealed a lower value instead, suggesting a possible compensation for hypotonia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of ankle-foot orthoses on walking efficiency and gait in children with cerebral palsy
TL;DR: The use of an ankle-foot orthosis resulted in a significant decrease in the energy cost of walking of quadriplegic children with cerebral palsy, compared with barefoot walking, whereas it remained unchanged in hemiplegic and diplegic children in a retrospective study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postural control during sit-to stand and gait in stroke patients.
TL;DR: Hemiplegic stroke patients, who could stand up within 4.5 sec or who had a maximal vertical force difference of less than 30% of body weight between both legs, had better gait performance than the others did.

Experimental evaluation of accuracy and repeatability of a novel body-to-sensor calibration procedure for inertial sensor-based gait analysis
Eduardo Palermo,Stefano Rossi,Francesca Marini,Fabrizio Patanè,Fabrizio Patanè,Paolo Cappa,Paolo Cappa +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a functional body-to-sensor calibration procedure for inertial sensor-based gait analysis is described, which consists in measuring the vertical axis during two static positions, and is not affected by magnetic field distortion.

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.
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.
