The effects of forward and backward walking according to treadmill inclination in children with cerebral palsy
[Purpose] This study investigated the effects of forward and backward walking using different treadmill incline positions on lower muscle activity in children with cerebral palsy, to provide baseline data for gait training intensity. [Subjects and Methods] Nineteen subjects with cerebral palsy walked forward and backward at a self-selected pace on a treadmill with inclines of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 1...
متن کاملBackward walking treadmill therapy can improve walking ability in children with spastic cerebral palsy: a pilot study.
The aim of this study was to determine whether an 8-week period of backward walking (BW) training on the treadmill can improve the gross motor function measure (GMFM), weight-bearing symmetry, and temporospatial gait parameters in individuals with spastic cerebral palsy. Twelve participants aged 5-15 years with spastic cerebral palsy participated in this study. The BW training was conducted on ...
متن کاملDesign and Investigation the Effectiveness of Gait Enhancer on Standing Ability and Walking Speed in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Objective: The purpose of this study was to design and investigate the effectiveness of gait training with Gait Enhancer on standing ability and walking speed in children with cerebral palsy. Materials and methods: We designed a new gait trainer according to Theo Jansen mechanism. Two separated Jansen linkages were placed on both sides of a frame and were connected to the lower limb at the ank...
متن کاملAnalysis of partial body weight support during treadmill and overground walking of children with cerebral palsy.
OBJECTIVE to analyze the spatial-temporal characteristics and joint angles during overground walking without body weight support (BWS) and with 0% and 30% BWS, and during treadmill walking with the same BWS in children with cerebral palsy. METHODS six children with hemiplegic and spastic cerebral palsy (7.70 ± 1.04 years old) were videotaped during overground walking at a comfortable speed wi...
متن کاملThe Effect of Modified Floor Reaction Ankle Foot Orthoses on Walking Abilities in Children with Cerebral Palsy
Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a modified floor reaction ankle foot orthosis (FRAFO) design on gait performance in children with cerebral palsy. Methods: Eight children with cerebral palsy wore a modified FRAFO bilaterally for six weeks. Motion analysis was used to assess the immediate effectiveness of the orthosis on improving gait and also following si...
