Forward stair descent with hybrid neuroprosthesis after paralysis: Single case study demonstrating feasibility.
The ability to negotiate stairs is important for community access and independent mobility but requires more effort and strength than level walking. For this reason, previous attempts to utilize functional neuromuscular stimulation (FNS) to restore stair navigation after spinal cord injury (SCI) have had limited success and are not readily generalizable. Stair descent is particularly challengin...
متن کاملStair ascent and descent at different inclinations.
The aim of this study was to investigate the biomechanics and motor co-ordination in humans during stair climbing at different inclinations. Ten normal subjects ascended and descended a five-step staircase at three different inclinations (24 degrees, 30 degrees, 42 degrees ). Three steps were instrumented with force sensors and provided 6 dof ground reactions. Kinematics was analysed by a camer...
متن کاملStair descent in the simple hexapod 'RHex'
We present the first controller that allows our small hexapod robot, RHex, to descend a wide variety of regular sized, “real-world” stairs. After selecting one of two sets of trajectories, depending on the slope of the stairs, our open-loop, clock-driven controllers require no further operator input nor task level feedback. Energetics for stair descent is captured via specific resistance values...
متن کاملAnteroposterior Knee Stability During Stair Descent.
This study examined the influence of tibio-femoral conformity on anteroposterior (AP) knee stability during stair descent, particularly with a dished cruciate sacrificing (CS) design. A joint simulator simulated stair descent of cadaveric knees. Tibio-femoral displacement was measured. Knees were tested in intact, ACL-deficient, and TKA with cruciate-retaining (CR), CS and posterior-stabilizing...
متن کاملBiomechanical Analysis of Stair Descent in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis
[Purpose] The purposes of this study were to investigate the lower extremity joint kinematics and kinetics of patients with the knee osteoarthritis (knee OA) during stair descent and clarify the biomechanical factors related to their difficulty in stair descent. [Subjects and Methods] Eight healthy elderly persons and four knee OA patients participated in this study. A 3-D motion analysis syste...
