Cyclogram and cross correlation: A comparative study to quantify gait coordination in mental state
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this study to evaluate the effect of mental task on gait coordination. The comparison between two techniques Crosscorrelation and Cyclogram has been performed. A set of gait experiments was developed and conducted to evaluate the effect of mental task on gait coordination. The perimeter derived from the geometric figure, cyclogram perimeter (CP), of the knee-knee cyclogram is the main descriptor considered in this study. For crosscorrelation it is the peak value of cross correlation coefficient (CCC) that has been taken for comparison. The sensitivity of both the techniques in terms of percentage has been calculated. Crosscorrelation is highly sensitive (mean=20.4 S.D.=2.3), towards the change in gait coordination with mental task, in comparison to cyclogram perimeter (mean=2.2 S.D.=1.2). The results have strength to assess the progress of rehabilitation among Parkinson patients.

Correlation between Trunk-Pelvis Inter-Segmental Coordination Parameters during Walking and Disability Level in Chronic Low Back Pain Patients
Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) disability has been particularly frustrating because its treatment has been a great therapeutic challenge. Disability has been suggested to depend on different factors that should be found and considered in the medical management. The inter-segmental coordination is often impaired in CLBP subjects; however, to the best of our knowledge, there is no evide...
متن کاملIntralimb coordination as a sensitive indicator of motor-control impairment after spinal cord injury
BACKGROUND Recovery of walking function after neurotrauma, e.g., after spinal cord injury, is routinely captured using standardized walking outcome measures of time and distance. However, these measures do not provide information on possible underlying mechanisms of recovery, nor do they tell anything about the quality of gait. Subjects with an incomplete spinal cord injury are a very heterogen...
متن کاملA new gait parameterization technique by means of cyclogram moments: Application to human slope walking.
A new parameterization technique for the systematic characterization of human walking gait in diverse external conditions is proposed in this work. By parameterization we mean a quantitative expression of certain gait descriptors as the function of an external parameter, such as the ground slope. The mathematical quantifies derived from the geometric features of the hip-knee cyclograms are the ...
متن کاملGait coordination: potential marker for mental state
Human walking involves coordinated movement between lower limbs. Locomotion is a neuromuscular activity and hence it is affected by mental tasks. Many studies on gait parameter e.g. stride length, gait speed, cadence and percentage of gait cycle in a double limb stance has been performed to determine the effect of a mental task on locomotive task. The knee being an important joint for locomotiv...
متن کاملThe Effect of Dual Motor-cognitive Task Training on Inter-join Coordination during Walking in Elderly with Balance Impairment
Introduction: In recent years, the effect of cognitive exercises on improving gait parameters has been studied, but the effects of these exercises on coordination inter-joint of the lower limbs have received less attention. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dual task motor-cognitive training on inter-join coordination during walking in elderly with balance impair...
