Control of angular momentum during walking in children with cerebral palsy.

TL;DR: Findings support the idea that angular momentum during walking is a controlled variable, even in children with hemiplegic CP, which is aimed at controlling total body angular momentum about the vertical axis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gait Deviation Index, Gait Profile Score and Gait Variable Score in children with spastic cerebral palsy: Intra-rater reliability and agreement across two repeated sessions.

TL;DR: The intra-rater reliability and agreement of summary measures of gait demonstrated excellent reliability and acceptable agreement proving that they can both be used in research and clinical practice, however, the observed large variability for some of the GVS requires cautious consideration when selecting outcome measures.

Autonomous gait event detection with portable single-camera gait kinematics analysis system

TL;DR: This paper focuses on autonomous gait event detection with a bespoke, relatively inexpensive, and portable, single-camera gait kinematics analysis system that includes video acquisition with camera calibration, Kalman filter.

1999 ESMAC Best Paper Award An evaluation of lycra garments in the lower limb using 3-D gait analysis and functional assessment (PEDI)

TL;DR: Five children improved in at least one aspect of the PEDI scale and although the parents and children detected these improvements, they did not outweigh the disadvantages of wearing the suit and as a consequence only one out of eight families considered continuing with the lycra garment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and classification of toe-walkers based on ankle kinematics, using a data-mining method.

TL;DR: Repeatable biomechanical patterns appeared that could influence therapeutic management of neurological conditions included in this meta-analysis, including Cerebral palsy patients, which were relatively homogeneously distributed amongst the three groups.

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.
