A practical guide to gait analysis.
The act of walking involves the complex interaction of muscle forces on bones, rotations through multiple joints, and physical forces that act on the body. Walking also requires motor control and motor coordination. Many orthopaedic surgical procedures are designed to improve ambulation by optimizing joint forces, thereby alleviating or preventing pain and improving energy conservation. Gait an...
متن کاملFrom gait disorders to gait analysis
Medical scholarship about gait disorders blossomed in the nineteenth century: locomotor ataxia in tabetic neurosyphilis (Romberg, Gowers, and Charcot); the festinating gait of Parkinson’s disease, and so many others. In the same time appeared the measurement of locomotion in the modern sense: firstly by applying photography (Muybridge), and secondly by combining kinematic and kinetic locomotor ...
متن کاملThe handkerchief guide: a simple and practical method to improve ataxic gait in cerebellar subjects.
OBJECTIVE Ataxic gait can be remarkably improved by a simple method called the "handkerchief guide" involving the patient and caregiver holding opposite ends of a handkerchief and walking together. Our objective was to assess the effect of the handkerchief guide on gait in patients with cerebellar ataxia. METHODS Gait analysis was carried out on seven patients with degenerative cerebellar dis...
متن کاملGait parameters following stroke: a practical assessment.
Mechanical methods of quantifying gait are more sensitive to change than is direct clinical inspection. To assess gait parameters and patterns of patients with stroke, and the temporal changes of these parameters, a foot-switch gait analyzer was used to test 49 ambulatory patients with stroke and 24 controls. Patients walked significantly slower than controls, with decreased cadence, increased ...
متن کاملA survey on Alzheimer’s disease detection using gait analysis
Introduction: Early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD), as a neurodegenerative disease and the most common cause of dementia in the elderly people, using gait analysis have been particularly noted by researcher in recent years. Because this novel method is non-invasive, less cost, and feasible in non-clinical and laboratory environments. Therefore, in this Meta-Analysis review article, detec...
