TLDR
The findings of this investigation where the experimental measurements have been analysed to recognise the static weight-bearing patterns associated with different types of lower-extremity handicapped subjects and to define an index that may be used for the assessment are reported.Abstract:
In order to develop a clinically suitable method for the assessment of lower-extremity disability during erect standing—the commonest static activity involving the human lower-extremity system—an investigation using a system made up of strain gauge load cells has been carried out. This paper reports the findings of this investigation where the experimental measurements have been analysed to recognise the static weight-bearing patterns associated with different types of lower-extremity handicapped subjects and to define an index that may be used for the assessment.read more

Plantar pressure distribution measurements: an approach to different methods to compute a pressure map
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare alternative methods to compute a pressure map from collected data, and conclude that with stationary pressure distribution, both cumulative and maximum or average pressure maps should be presented.

Platform for exercising and measuring speed of human balance coordination
TL;DR: In this article, the crosspiece is formed in one piece for taking up and transmitting the forces exerted by the load on the platform, and the encoder may be potentiometers having their shafts in line with extensions of the cross-piece axes.

Efficiency of gait measurement after complex foot trauma
TL;DR: Four different gait analysis techniques (three-dimensional kinematic analysis, two force plates, dynamic electromyography (EMG), dynamic analysis of plantar pressure distribution) were employed in a study on 10 normal subjects and 12 patients after treatment of displaced calcaneal fractures for accuracy of measurement of the severity of functional impairment.

Development of ultrasonic tachography system for gait analysis
TL;DR: The goal of this research is to develop and test an ultrasound-based gait tachography system to enable the doctors and physiotherapists to evaluate lower limb extremity problems.

EARLY INTRAVENOUS ATENOLOL TREATMENT IN SUSPECTED ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION: Preliminary Report of a Randomised Trial

TL;DR: Unlike many previous trials which had negative results, in this trial the drug was given intravenously and promptly (median of 4 hours from onset of pain to injecton), thereby achieving early beta-blockade.

A fundamental characteristic of the human body and foot, the foot-ground pressure pattern.
Mircea Arcan,M.A. Brull +1 more
TL;DR: A new method and instrument developed by the authors allows a simultaneous recording of the pressure distribution between each foot and the ground during either standing or walking, which may yield important data for the evaluation of prosthetic-orthotic appliances, in post-operative follow-up of orthopedic patients, and in the mechanics of rehabilitation.

Forces under the foot
TL;DR: The results show that the load carried by the normal midfoot is low and considerable variation between individuals is seen in the distribution of vertical load across the forefoot.
