Influence of structural pelvic disorders during standing and walking in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.

TL;DR: An increase in the muscular external work, a reduction in the efficiency of the locomotor mechanism, and a prolonged duration of activation of the lumbar muscles, ie, erector spinae and quadratum lumborum, in AIS patients are observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Are the recommendations from three-dimensional gait analysis associated with better postoperative outcomes in patients with cerebral palsy?

TL;DR: Improvement of gait parameters after treatment was observed in patients whose treatment matched the recommendations from three-dimensional gait analysis showed a more significant improvement in walking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ergonomic Evaluation of Biomechanical Hand Function

TL;DR: A literature review on the methodologies used to evaluate hand functions from a biomechanics standpoint, including anthropometry, kinematics, kinetics, and electromyography are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lower limb antagonist muscle co-activation and its relationship with gait parameters in cerebellar ataxia.

TL;DR: The increased co-activation observed in patients with cerebellar ataxia may represent a compensatory strategy serving to reduce gait instability, and this mechanism allows patients to reduce the occurrence of falls.

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.
