Muscular coordination of knee motion during the terminal-swing phase of normal gait.
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the diminished knee extension in terminal swing exhibited by children with cerebral palsy may, in part, be caused by weak hip extensors or by impaired hip muscles on the stance limb that result in abnormal accelerations of the pelvis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural Control of Balance During Walking.
TL;DR: Interestingly, ankle musculature activity changed rapidly in response to the stimulus, suggesting the presence of a direct reflexive pathway from the visual system to the spinal cord, similar to the vestibulospinal pathway.

Gait characteristics of people with diabetes-related peripheral neuropathy, with and without a history of ulceration
TL;DR: Clinical measures of flexibility and strength, alongside three-dimensional biomechanical gait data of the lower limb, in patients with a history of neuropathic ulceration showed a non-significant trend toward decreased static range of motion at the ankle and first metatarsophalangeal joints, with worsening neuropathy status.
Journal ArticleDOI
An objective evaluation of a segmented foot model
TL;DR: The goal of this research was to objectively evaluate the fidelity of a generalized three-segment foot and ankle model defined using externally mounted markers and find that the segmented model appeared to perform reasonably well overall.

Walking in an Unstable Environment: Strategies Used by Transtibial Amputees to Prevent Falling During Gait
Laura Hak,Jaap H. van Dieën,Peter van der Wurff,Maarten R. Prins,Agali Mert,Peter J. Beek,Han Houdijk +6 more
TL;DR: Transtibial amputees have the capacity to use the same strategies to deal with challenges of gait stability and adaptability, to the same extent as able-bodied people.

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.
