چکیده

A single comprehensive marker-set was defined allowing the use of exactly the same gait cycles for both protocols. 10 healthy normal weight subjects (mean = 27 y, s = 5.8) were analyzed on two consecutive days M1 and M2. Landmark definition was done by the same physiotherapist for all subjects. A 12-camera Vicon MX40 system system collected data at 100 Hz. Five force plates were used to detect gait events. Peak eversion, frontal plane range of motion (ROM) and peak plantar flexion of the ankle joint were extracted from the curve data. At least 5 trials were averaged for each subject and measurement day, respectively.

Design and Evaluation of an Articulated Ankle Foot Orthosis with Plantarflexion Resistance on the Gait: a Case Series of 2 Patients with Hemiplegia

Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) have been described to have positive effects on the gait biomechanics in stroke patients. The plantarflexion resistance of an AFO is considered important for hemiplegic patients, but the evidence is still limited. The purpose of this case series was to design and evaluate the immediate effect of an articulated AFO on kinematics and kinetics of lower-limb joints in str...

بررسی تأثیر ارتزهای مچ پا-پایی بر متغیرهای راه‌رفتن و تعادل افراد سکته مغزی: مطالعه مروری

Objective Stroke occurs when the supply of blood to the brain is either interrupted or reduced. The clinical presentation varies from minor neurological symptoms to severe deficits, depending on the location and the size of the brain lesion. Hemiparesis is one of the most striking features in the acute phase. Many other deficits may also be present, including postural imbalance. All persistent ...

Evaluation of a Viscoelastic Ankle-Foot Prosthesis at Slow and Normal Walking Speeds on an Able-Bodied Subject

Objectives: This paper describes further improvement and preliminarily evaluation of a novel viscoelastic ankle-foot prosthesis prototype. The objective was to control the ankle hysteresis at slow and normal walking speeds. Methods: Inspired by the ankle biomechanics, in which the hysteresis differs based on the gait speeds, a manually damping control mechanism imbedded in the prosthesis for...

اثر قطع عضو همیپلویکتومی بر کینماتیک و نیروی تولیدی عضلات اندام تحتانی حین راه رفتن با پروتز کانادین؛ گزارش موردی

Objective Hemipelvectomy amputation is a surgical procedure in which the lower limb and a portion of pelvic are removed. There are a few studies on the performance of this group of patients while walking. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the effect of hemipelvectomy amputation on kinematics and muscle force generation of the lower limb while walking with Canadian prosthesis. Materials & M...

Adjacent Joint Kinematics After Ankle Arthrodesis During Cadaveric Gait Simulation.

BACKGROUND Arthrodesis is an effective and reliable treatment for end-stage ankle arthritis; however, many patients develop ipsilateral adjacent joint arthritis following surgery. The mechanism that drives adjacent joint arthritis remains uncertain. Cadaveric simulation permits direct investigation of the effects of both arthrodesis and movement strategy on adjacent joints during simulated walk...
