Different types of additional somatosensory information do not promote immediate benefits on gait in patients with Parkinson's disease and older adults
(2015-01-01)
Plantar cutaneous stimulation has been shown to improve gait in Parkinson's disease (PD), but the effects of different types of insoles have not been tested. We evaluated the immediate effect of different types of insoles ...
Lower limb strength is associated with gait biomechanical abnormalities in older female fallers and non-fallers
(2013-06-17)
BACKGROUND: Age-related loss in lower limb strength is related with impaired mobility. However, the association between decreased lower limb strength and gait biomechanical abnormalities is unclear. %In line with this, ...
Gait training with partial body weight support during overground walking for individuals with chronic stroke: a pilot study
(Biomed Central Ltd., 2011-08-24)
Background: It is not yet established if the use of body weight support (BWS) systems for gait training is effective per se or if it is the combination of BWS and treadmill that improves the locomotion of individuals with ...
Discriminatory Ability of Lower-Extremity Peak Torque and Rate of Torque Development in the Identification of Older Women With Slow Gait Speed
(Human Kinetics Publ Inc, 2018-08-01)
The aim was to compare torque and rate of torque development of lower limb muscles between older women with functional and slow gait speeds to determine which muscle group is the best predictor of functional gait speed, ...
Is it possible to predict falls in older adults using gait kinematics?
(2018-11-01)
Background: Gait kinematic parameters have been reported as an important clinical tool to assess the risk of falls in older adults. However, the ability of these parameters to predict falls in the older population is still ...
Gait Event Detection on Stair Walking Using a Rate Gyroscope
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2014-03)
Gyroscopes have been proposed as sensors for ambulatory gait analysis and functional electrical stimulation systems. These applications often require detection of the initial contact (IC) of the foot with the floor and/or ...
Prefrontal Cortex Activity During Walking: Effects of Aging and Associations With Gait and Executive Function
(2020-01-01)
Background: Declines in gait parameters are common with aging and more pronounced in tasks with increased executive demand. However, the neural correlates of age-related gait impairments are not fully understood yet. ...
Efeito agudo da marcha em esteira com estímulo auditivo sobre parâmetros cinemáticos da marcha e mobilidade em Parkinsonianos
(2016-01-01)
The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effect of treadmill training with auditory stimulation on gait kinematic parameters and mobility in Parkinsonians Participants were 14 individuals with idiopathic Parkinsonism ...
Multimodal exercise intervention improves frontal cognitive functions and gait in Alzheimer's disease: A controlled trial
(2013-01-01)
Aim: The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of a multimodal exercise intervention on frontal cognitive functions and kinematic gait parameters in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Methods: A ...
The relation of triceps surae surgical lengthening and crouch gait in patients with cerebral palsy
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2010)
To investigate the effect of earlier triceps surae (TS) surgical lengthening at knee kinematics in the stance phase in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). One thousand and thirty-nine participants from an eligible total of ...
