Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise for intermittent claudication.
TL;DR: The goal was to determine whether an exercise programme was effective in alleviating symptoms and increasing walking treadmill distances and walking times in people with intermittent claudication, and to assess the overall quality of evidence supporting the outcomes assessed in this review.
OtherDOI
Exercise training and peripheral arterial disease.
TL;DR: Benefits of exercise therapy are demonstrated, including improved walking tolerance, modified inflammatory/hemostatic markers, enhanced vasoresponsiveness, adaptations within the limb, adaptations that enhance oxygen delivery and metabolic responses, potentially delayed progression of the disease, enhanced quality of life indices, and extended longevity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ankle and midfoot kinetics during normal gait: a multi-segment approach.
TL;DR: The use of multi-segment foot models to estimate ankle and midfoot kinetics is recommended, especially when surgical decision-making is based on the results of three-dimensional gait analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative damage in the gastrocnemius of patients with peripheral artery disease is myofiber type selective.

TL;DR: Increased myofiber oxidative damage and reduced my ofiber size in PAD gastrocnemius are confirmed and demonstrate that the damage is selective for type II myofibers and is worse in the most advanced stage of PAD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormal accumulation of desmin in gastrocnemius myofibers of patients with peripheral artery disease: associations with altered myofiber morphology and density, mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired limb function.

TL;DR: Investigation of the hypothesis that disruption of the desmin network occurs in gastrocnemius myofibers of PAD patients and correlates with altered myofiber morphology, mitochondrial dysfunction, and impaired limb function identified it as an index of the myopathy and limitation of muscle function in patients with PAD.

Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contributions of the individual ankle plantar flexors to support, forward progression and swing initiation during walking.
TL;DR: In this study, the individual contributions of the ankle plantar flexors to the body segment energetics are examined using a musculoskeletal model and optimization framework to generate a forward dynamics simulation of normal walking at 1.5 m/s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomechanical Walking Pattern Changes in the Fit and Healthy Elderly
TL;DR: A separate gait database is needed in order to pinpoint falling disorders of the elderly, as significant differences attributable to age alone are apparent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gait characteristics of patients with knee osteoarthritis.
TL;DR: Objective gait analysis can be used to document gait adaptations used by patients with knee OA and the female subjects had significantly greater knee flexion and a greater knee extensor moment.

Age causes a redistribution of joint torques and powers during gait
Paul DeVita,Tibor Hortobágyi +1 more
TL;DR: Age caused a redistribution of joint torques and powers, with the elderly using their hip extensor more and their knee extensors and ankle plantar flexors less than young adults when walking at the same speed.
