Knee extension torque during repeated knee extension-flexion reversals and separated knee extension-flexion dyads.
I measured the knee extension torque, produced by eight hemiparetic patients during repeated knee extension-flexion reversals and during separated knee extension-flexion dyads, to determine the effect of "reversal of antagonists" on knee extension torque. The hemiparesis in these eight patients was secondary to intracranial lesions. I tested their involved lower extremity on an isokinetic dynam...
متن کاملEffect of powered gait orthosis on walking in individuals with paraplegia.
BACKGROUND The important purpose of a powered gait orthosis is to provide active joint movement for patients with spinal cord injury. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of a powered gait orthosis on the kinematics and temporal-spatial parameters in paraplegics with spinal cord injury. STUDY DESIGN Quasi-experimental. METHODS Four spinal cord injury individuals expe...
متن کاملThe Effect of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) on Depression in Spinal Cord Injury Patients
Introduction: Depression is the most common psychological consequences of spinal cord injury. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of eye movement desensitization and reprocess (EMDR) on depression in patients with spinal cord injury. Methods: In this clinical trial study, 40 patients with Spinal cord injury (SCI) who were treated at Hadith Rehabilitation Center of Qazvin in 2...
متن کاملEffects of backward gait training protocol on knee adduction moment and impulse during walking in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis
Background and Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of backward gait training protocol on knee adduction moment and impulse in male patients with medial knee osteoarthritis. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design included two control groups (healthy and patient) and an experimental group (subjects with medial knee osteoarthritis)...
متن کاملSpinal cord mechanics during flexion and extension of the cervical spine: a finite element study.
The cervical spinal cord is at a great risk for injury during traumatic accidents occurring within people of relatively young age. Spinal cord injury can not be easily characterized clinically nor through in vitro testing. An understanding of cervical spinal cord deformation is important for defining an injury threshold of the spinal cord. Therefore, an analytical method may be beneficial for d...
