Can biomechanical variables predict improvement in crouch gait?
Many patients respond positively to treatments for crouch gait, yet surgical outcomes are inconsistent and unpredictable. In this study, we developed a multivariable regression model to determine if biomechanical variables and other subject characteristics measured during a physical exam and gait analysis can predict which subjects with crouch gait will demonstrate improved knee kinematics on a...
متن کاملCrouch Gait in Dravet Syndrome

متن کاملCrouch Gait is More Stable than Normal Gait
Normal gait is a pattern of walking that humans normally adopt in undisturbed situations. Gait patterns are considered to be either abnormal or impaired if they do not satisfy certain key attributes of normal gait. It has previously been postulated that normal gait is more energy efficient than abnormal or impaired gait. However, it is not clear whether a normal gait pattern is also superior to...
متن کاملSelecting Biomechanical Variables for Detect Gait Events Using Computational Vision
In clinical gait analysis gait events, such as initial contact and toe off, are needed for biomechanical data normalization and for several temporal/distance parameters estimation. Therefore, there is a major necessity to identify the key gait events accurately. In this paper it will be presented an algorithm to detected stance phase and swing phase events using just visual information acquired...
متن کاملCompressive tibiofemoral force during crouch gait.
Crouch gait, a common walking pattern in individuals with cerebral palsy, is characterized by excessive flexion of the hip and knee. Many subjects with crouch gait experience knee pain, perhaps because of elevated muscle forces and joint loading. The goal of this study was to examine how muscle forces and compressive tibiofemoral force change with the increasing knee flexion associated with cro...
