Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the concurrent validity of the Farsi version of Functional Gait Assessment (FGA), Timed Up & Go (TUG), and Gait Speed tests in Persian communitydwelling older adults. Methods: Subjects were 100 males in falling or no falling history group (50 subjects in each group). Subjects were community-dwelling adults aged 60-90 years who were living...

Background. There have been many studies on partial weight support walking training. However, most studies have been performed in treadmill settings, not in actual walking environments. Objectives. This study aimed to investigate the effect of partial weight support ground walking training on the temporal and spatial gait parameters of chronic stroke patients. Methods. This study was designed...

As a contribution to the gait generation and motion control of quadrupeds a concept has been formulated that in its modular structure can be easily adapted and extended. It is generally suitable for quadrupedal walking machines using statically stable gaits (as shown for the four-legged robot ALDURO) and only a few modules need to be adapted to the machine specific topology.

As a contribution to the gait generation and motion control of quadrupeds a concept has been formulated that in its modular structure can be easily adapted and extended. It is generally suitable for quadrupedal walking machines (as shown for Alduro and Bisam) and only a few modules need to be adapted according to the machine specific topology.

With the increasing number of people who have problems with their walking, a new type of gait rehabilitation training robot has been put forward and designed. In order to meet the requirements of the gait rehabilitation training, the whole mechanical structure and control system have been designed, and the model machine for gait rehabilitation training robot has been made. Using the human gait ...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to compare spatio-temporal gait parameters between elderly and young male subjects. methods & materials: 57 able-bodied elderly (72±5.5 years) and 57 healthy young (25±8.5 years) subjects participated in this study. a four segment model consist of trunk, hip, shank, and foot with 10 reflective markers were used to define lower limbs. kinematic data coll...
