Motor Patterns in Walking.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite the fact that locomotion may differ widely in mammals, common principles of kinematic control are at work. These reflect common mechanical and neural constraints. The former are related to the need to maintain balance and to limit energy expenditure. The latter are related to the organization of the central pattern-generating networks.

Effect of Backward Walking Training on Improves Postural Stability in Children with Down syndrome
Background Motor intervention plays an important role in reducing the disabilities of Down syndrome (DS). A lack of balance and postural control has created motor problems in DS patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effect of backward walking on postural stability of DS patients. Materials and Methods Sixteen DS children with 8-10 age range were selected by convenience s...
متن کاملAge-associated adaptations in lower limb motor patterns during walking and cycling
Muscular strength and power generating ability decline with advancing age. Older adults adapt their lower limb motor patterns to cope with these declines in muscle function. When mechanical demands approach limits of lower limb muscular capacity, motor patterns must be adapted to produce a desired movement. The term “motor pattern” is used to broadly represent the kinematic and kinetic profile ...
متن کاملGround reaction force patterns in stroke patients with various degrees of motor recovery determined by plantar dynamic analysis.
BACKGROUND To study ground reaction force (GRF) patterns in stroke patients with various degrees of motor recovery, using plantar dynamic analysis. METHODS Forty-three people with hemiplegic stroke and 20 healthy subjects were enrolled in the study. Motor impairment (motor recovery and muscle tone) and plantar dynamic data (GRF patterns, peak pressure, and walking speeds) were analyzed. GRF p...

متن کاملComparison of motor control deficits during treadmill and overground walking poststroke.
BACKGROUND Force-sensing split-belt treadmills (TMs) provide an alternative to the conventional overground (OG) setting and allow new avenues for analyzing the biomechanics and motor control of walking. However, walking control may differ on a TM compared with walking OG. OBJECTIVE To compare spatiotemporal, kinematic, and EMG-based measures of motor control between TM and OG walking at self-...
