Force treadmill for measuring vertical and horizontal ground reaction forces.
We constructed a force treadmill to measure the vertical, horizontal and lateral components of the ground-reaction forces (Fz, Fy, Fx, respectively) and the ground-reaction force moments (Mz, My, Mx), respectively exerted by walking and running humans. The chassis of a custom-built, lightweight (90 kg), mechanically stiff treadmill was supported along its length by a large commercial force plat...
متن کاملWalking through Apertures in Individuals with Stroke
OBJECTIVE Walking through a narrow aperture requires unique postural configurations, i.e., body rotation in the yaw dimension. Stroke individuals may have difficulty performing the body rotations due to motor paralysis on one side of their body. The present study was therefore designed to investigate how successfully such individuals walk through apertures and how they perform body rotation beh...
متن کاملStepping strategies used by post-stroke individuals to maintain margins of stability during walking.
BACKGROUND People recovering from a stroke are less stable during walking compared to able-bodied controls. The purpose of this study was to examine whether and how post-stroke individuals adapt their steady-state gait pattern to maintain or increase their margins of stability during walking, and to examine how these strategies differ from strategies employed by able-bodied people. METHODS Te...
متن کاملA comparison of at-home walking and 10-meter walking test parameters of individuals with post-stroke hemiparesis
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to clarify the difference in gait parameters of at-home walking and the 10-meter walking test results of individuals with hemiparesis. [Subjects] A total of 14 hemiparetic stroke recovery patients participated in this study. Inclusion criteria were: living at home, the ability to walk independently, and demonstrated low extremity on recovery stages III-V ...
متن کاملKey characteristics of walking correlate with bone density in individuals with chronic stroke.
Several recent studies of ambulatory stroke survivors have shown decreased bone mineral density (BMD) in the lower limbs and an elevated risk of hip fracture. Because bone mass is linked to skeletal loading, weight-bearing activities of daily living such as walking are considered critically important for maintenance of femoral BMD in ambulatory individuals. Little is known about the relationshi...
