What determines walking of older people in their neighborhood?
Based on literature review and five focus groups, a model was analyzed describing individual, social environmental and physical environmental (perceived) determinants of walking by older people. Aim was to test whether these determinants were significantly associated with the duration of walking by older people (N = 567, 50 80 years) in a middle-sized Dutch town. Walking time was best predicted...
متن کاملTalking about walking: biomechanics and the language of locomotion.
What drives humans around the world to converge in certain ways in their naming while diverging dramatically in others? We studied how naming patterns are constrained by investigating whether labeling of human locomotion reflects the biomechanical discontinuity between walking and running gaits. Similarity judgments of a student locomoting on a treadmill at different slopes and speeds revealed ...
متن کاملNeighborhood factors relevant for walking in older, urban, African American adults.
Focus-group and photo-voice methodology were used to identify the salient factors of the neighborhood environment that encourage or discourage walking in older, urban African Americans. Twenty-one male (n = 2) and female (n = 19) African Americans age 60 years and older (M = 70 +/- 8.7, range = 61-85) were recruited from a large urban senior center. Photographs taken by the participants were us...
متن کاملCommentary: on walking and talking.
I welcome Dr. Kapoor's reflections on psychotherapy with offender patients. In this commentary, I will discuss the value of psychodynamic psychotherapy in the treatment of forensic patients and some of the technical competencies required. I hope that these thoughts, and Dr. Kapoor's fine writing, will inspire other forensic practitioners to practice psychodynamic forensic psychiatry and to util...
متن کاملCan treadmill walking be used to assess propulsion generation?
Instrumented treadmills offer significant advantages for analysis of human locomotion, including recording consecutive steady-state gait cycles, precisely controlling walking speed, and avoiding force plate targeting. However, some studies of hemiparetic walking on a treadmill have suggested that the moving treadmill belt may fundamentally alter propulsion mechanics. Any differences in propulsi...
