BACKGROUND Treadmill gait analysis was more advantageous than over-ground walking because it allowed continuous measurements of the gait parameters. The purpose of this study was to investigate the concurrent validity and the test-retest reliability of the OPTOGait photoelectric cell system against the treadmill-based gait analysis system by assessing spatio-temporal gait parameters. MATERIAL...

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and clinical predictors silent myocardial ischemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, early diagnosis coronary artery disease.Methods: A cross sectional prospective conducted including all confirmed diabetic age group between 40-60 Bharati medical college hospital Pune western Maharashtra. detailed examination history taken ...

cular disease. The HRR index, typically measured as a reduction in the heart rate (heart rate/min) in the first minute following the treadmill exercise test and presenting an altered balance within the autonomic nervous system, has drawn increasing attention as an important prognostic marker of cardiovascular status [4, 5]. So, Sarli et al. [1] presented for the first time in the literature tha...

Maximum exercise testing using treadmill walking and cycle ergometry was compared in 40 male patients who had suffered a myocardial infarction in the preceeding twelve months. Maximum oxygen uptake was on average 17% greater in the treadmill than the cycle test and maximum heart rate was also higher, but the rate pressure product (RPP) was a similar due to a higher blood pressure in the cycle e...

BACKGROUND Exercise treadmill test is interpreted as positive or negative for ischemia in the presence or absence of ST depression respectively. This study was conducted to evaluate the diagnostic value of chest pain without ST depression during exercise treadmill test. METHODS A total of 180 patients who had abnormal exercise treadmill test result and subsequently underwent coronary angiogra...

Instrumented treadmills offer significant advantages for analysis of human locomotion, including recording consecutive steady-state gait cycles, precisely controlling walking speed, and avoiding force plate targeting. However, some studies of hemiparetic walking on a treadmill have suggested that the moving treadmill belt may fundamentally alter propulsion mechanics. Any differences in propulsi...

BACKGROUND Exercise-induced hypertension following repair of the coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a well known phenomenon. The most important functional parameters in the assessment of the effects of a surgical repair of CoA are the maximal pressure gradient in the descending aorta (GRAD) and systolic blood pressure (SBP). Results of treadmill exercise test using the Bruce protocol (treadmill ...
