Evaluating cost function criteria in predicting healthy gait

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated how minimising various physiologically-based criteria (i.e., cost of transport, muscle activity, head stability, foot-ground impact, and knee ligament use) affects the predicted gait and developed and evaluated a combined, weighted cost function tuned to predict healthy gait.

Kinetics of the lower limb during two typical Tai Chi movements in the elderly.

TL;DR: The TC loading patterns are consistent with the mechanical behaviour of biological tissues, which could help to strengthen the lower extremities and prevent falls in the elderly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Does severity of motor impairment affect reactive adaptation and fall-risk in chronic stroke survivors?

TL;DR: Chronic stroke survivors are able to acquire and retain adaptive reactive balance skills to reduce fall risk, and although similar adaptation was demonstrated by both groups, the low-functioning group might require greater dosage with gradual increment in training intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of ankle foot orthosis on gait parameters and functional ambulation in patients with stroke.

TL;DR: Walking speed, cadence, and ankle dorsiflexion at initial contact and midswing were significantly increased while walking with AFO compared to walking barefoot and functional ambulation score improved significantly with use of AFO.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term effects of automated mechanical peripheral stimulation on gait patterns of patients with Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: It is indicated that regular repetition every 4 days of AMPS treatment appears to be able to improve gait parameters, to restore rhythmicity, and to reduce the risk of falls, with benefits maintained up to 10 days after the last treatment.

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.

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.
