The efficacy of physiological cost index (PCI) measurement of a subject walking with an Intelligent Prosthesis.
The Intelligent Prosthesis may enable lower limb amputees to walk faster than with conventionally damped prostheses and as a result the physical burden involved in walking could be expected to be considerably higher. The aim of this study was to investigate whether or not physiological cost index (PCI) is applicable as an indicator for monitoring the amount of exercise load involved in walking ...
متن کاملThe Physiological Cost Index and Some Kinematic Parameters of Walking and Jogging in Blind and Sighted Students
Background: Vision plays an important role in supporting efficient locomotion. The present study aimed to measure the physiological cost index (PCI) and some kinematic parameters of preferred walking and jogging in blind and sighted students.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among blind (n=18) and sighted (n=27) students aged 8-16 years. The following parameters were measured...
متن کاملLeg Length Discrepancy: Assessment and Secondary Effects
Leg length discrepancy can be noticed commonly in the general population occurring naturally without any secondary side effects it also can be noticed in some patient after surgical treatment of fractures or joint replacement surgery. The presence of this discrepancy can be assessed clinically and can be precisely measured using imaging techniques. LLD can badly affect the lower back, pelvis, h...
متن کاملConcurrent Validity of Physiological Cost Index in Walking over Ground and during Robotic Training in Subacute Stroke Patients
Physiological Cost Index (PCI) has been proposed to assess gait demand. The purpose of the study was to establish whether PCI is a valid indicator in subacute stroke patients of energy cost of walking in different walking conditions, that is, over ground and on the Gait Trainer (GT) with body weight support (BWS). The study tested if correlations exist between PCI and ECW, indicating validity o...
متن کاملFunctional scoliosis caused by leg length discrepancy
INTRODUCTION Leg length discrepancy (LLD) causes pelvic obliquity in the frontal plane and lumbar scoliosis with convexity towards the shorter extremity. Leg length discrepancy is observed in 3-15% of the population. Unequalized lower limb length discrepancy leads to posture deformation, gait asymmetry, low back pain and discopathy. MATERIAL AND METHODS In the years 1998-2006, 369 children, a...
