Human Gait Analysis For Hip Implanted Persons
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the research team presents some aspects concerning the design of a methodology and a human gait analysis system for persons who suffered a locomotor disfunctionality and recovered by means of implants. Thus, in the first part of the paper we analyze theoretical aspects connected to the human body biomechanics in the process of normal gait but also those concerning the emphasis of locomotor disfunctionalities. In the second part of the paper, the recording methodology for gait dynamic parameters and the selected cases are presented. In the last part we show the results and conclusions obtained based on the proposed methodology.

Gait analysis in patients after unilateral hip arthroplasty.
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint pathology and the main cause of disability in elderly persons. Arthroplasty still remains the most effective treatment of OA. Routine post-operative patient assessment does not include an objective functional examination leading to conclusions regarding the need of further rehabilitation. This role is played by gait analysis performed in p...
متن کاملModeling effects of sagittal-plane hip joint stiffness on reciprocating gait orthosis-assisted gait.
Upright ambulation is believed to improve quality of life for persons with lower-limb paralysis (LLP). However, ambulatory orthoses for persons with LLP, like reciprocating gait orthoses (RGOs), result in a slow, exhausting gait. Increasing the hip joint stiffness of these devices may improve the efficiency of RGO-assisted gait. The small, diverse population of RGO users makes subject recruitme...
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 کاملComparison of the effects of external instruction exercises in combination with hip-knee strengthening on gait kinematics in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome: a randomized clinical trial.
Aims and Background: Patellofemoral pain syndrome is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders, and is related to biomechanical factors of the lower extremities. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of hip and knee strengthening with internal instruction exercises on pain and dynamic knee valgus in patients with Patellofemoral pain syndrom. Materials and Methods: 50 men a...
متن کاملHybrid Orthosis with Controllable Hip and Knee Joints and Multichannel Fes for Walking in Paraplegia
A hybrid system including trunk-hip-knee-anklefoot (THKAFO) orthosis and multi-channel functional electrical stimulation with implanted electrodes has been designed for walking in paraplegia. The THKAFO has been instrumented with commercially available spring wrap clutches at the hips and knees. Clutches provide free movement in extension and allow flexion only when they are disengaged by solen...
