Gait and Balance Assessment in Older Persons
Although there are predictable changes in gait that occur with normal aging, most abnormalities of gait affecting older people are not due to aging per se but to specific disease processes, most of which can be helped with appropriate therapeutic modalities. It is vital that the practitioner be able to detect the presence of an unstable balance or gait, distinguish it from normal agerelated cha...
متن کاملFixating the pelvis in the horizontal plane affects gait characteristics.
In assistive devices for neuro-rehabilitation, natural human motions are partly restricted by the device. This may affect the normality of walking during training. This research determines effects on gait of fixating the pelvis translations in the horizontal plane during treadmill walking. Direct effects on the motion of the pelvis and external forces acting on the pelvis were measured. Several...

متن کاملGait characteristics of persons with bilateral transtibial amputations.
The gait characteristics of persons with unilateral transtibial amputations are fairly well documented in the literature. However, much less is known about the gait of persons with bilateral transtibial amputations. This study used quantitative gait analysis to investigate the gait characteristics of 19 persons with bilateral transtibial amputations. To reduce variability between subjects, we f...
متن کاملEffects of load carriage and fatigue on gait characteristics.
The objective of this study was to determine the main and interactive effects of load carriage and fatigue on gait characteristics. Twelve young male participants were recruited in this study. Fatiguing protocol involved a running exercise, and fatigue was considered to be induced when the participants first gave an RPE rating at or above 17. Gait data were collected when the participants walke...
