TLDR
The purpose of this review is to outline the basic principles of exercise physiology relevant to human locomotion; detail the energy expenditure of normal walking; and summarize the results of energy expenditure studies performed in patients with specific neurologic and orthopedic disabilities.About:

Control strategies for active lower extremity prosthetics and orthotics: a review
Michael R. Tucker,Jeremy Olivier,Anna Pagel,Hannes Bleuler,Mohamed Bouri,Olivier Lambercy,José del R. Millán,Robert Riener,Robert Riener,Heike Vallery,Heike Vallery,Roger Gassert +11 more
TL;DR: This work reviews the state-of-the-art techniques for controlling portable active lower limb prosthetic and orthotic P/O devices in the context of locomotive activities of daily living (ADL), and considers how these can be interfaced with the user’s sensory-motor control system.

Physical fitness training for stroke patients
David Saunders,Mark Sanderson,Sara Hayes,Maeve Kilrane,Carolyn A. Greig,Maeve Brazzelli,Gillian Mead +6 more
TL;DR: Cardiorespiratory training and, to a lesser extent, mixed training reduce disability during or after usual stroke care; this could be mediated by improved mobility and balance.

Physical Activity and Exercise Recommendations for Stroke Survivors An American Heart Association Scientific Statement From the Council on Clinical Cardiology, Subcommittee on Exercise, Cardiac Rehabilitation, and Prevention; the Council on Cardiovascular Nursing; the Council on Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Metabolism; and the Stroke Council
Neil F. Gordon,Meg Gulanick,Fernando Costa,Gerald F. Fletcher,Barry A. Franklin,Elliot J. Roth,Tim Shephard +6 more
TL;DR: The incidence of stroke is likely to continue to escalate because of an expanding population of elderly Americans; a growing epidemic of diabetes, obesity, and physical inactivity among the general population; and a greater prevalence of heart failure patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of obesity and sex on the energetic cost and preferred speed of walking.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that walking would be most expensive for obese women compared with obese men and normal-weight women and men was tested and it was hypothesized that for all groups, preferred walking speed would correspond to the speed that minimized the gross energy cost per distance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy expenditure and biomechanical characteristics of lower limb amputee gait:: The influence of prosthetic alignment and different prosthetic components
TL;DR: Comparison of different prosthetic feet worn by transtibial amputees did not show significant differences regarding metabolic parameters, and compared with conventional hydraulic knee controls, the oxygen consumption of transfemoral amputee provided with an electronically controlled hydraulic knee joint is reduced.

Gait Analysis: Normal and Pathological Function
TL;DR: This text encompasses the work of Dr Jacquelin Perry in her years as a therapist and surgeon focusing on the human gait, suitable for incorporating into many athletic training programmes, university physical therapy programmes and gait workshops.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptations of skeletal muscle to endurance exercise and their metabolic consequences
J. O. Holloszy,Edward F. Coyle +1 more
TL;DR: The major metabolic consequences of the adaptations of muscle to endurance exercise are a slower utilization of muscle glycogen and blood glucose, a greater reliance on fat oxidation, and less lactate production during exercise of a given intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic threshold and respiratory gas exchange during exercise.
TL;DR: The I-min incremental work rate test is associated with changes in gas exchange which can be used as sensitive on-line indicators of the AT, thus bypassing the need for measuring arterial lactate or acid-base parameters to indicate anaerobiosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The major determinants in normal and pathological gait.
TL;DR: The adoption of the concept that fundamentally locomotion is the translation of the center of gravity through space along a pathway requiring the least expenditure of energy supplies the necessary unifying principle which permits of qualitative analysis in terms of the essential determinants of gait.
