The effect of knee orthosis on co-contraction values of knee and ankle muscles during running in people with knee deformity in the frontal plane.
Background and Aims: the use of knee orthosis changes the mechanics of running. One of the important biomechanical factors in rehabilitation and injury prevention is co-contraction of knee and ankle joints. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of knee orthosis on changes in the contraction of knee and ankle muscles during running in people with genu varum. Mat...
متن کاملEffect of Ankle Brace on the Activity and Co-Contraction of Ankle Muscles During Single-Leg Landing
Objectives: The results of a few studies about the effects of ankle brace on muscles function during the performance of different tasks are contradictory. Moreover, the effect of brace on the co-contraction of ankle muscles is undiscovered. Therefore, the present study investigated the effect of brace usage on the ankle muscles activity and co-contraction during single-leg landing. Methods: Fi...
متن کاملGait patterns of elderly men with trans-tibial amputations.
Gait patterns for the non-amputated leg of eight elderly men with trans-tibial amputations were assessed using kinematic and kinetic measures. Kinematically, the subject's walking speed was faster than expected but less than normative non-amputee data. The stride length was also less than non-amputee norms. Net joint moment and power analyses showed various discrepancies between the amputee sub...
متن کاملDynamic analysis of above-knee amputee gait.
BACKGROUND It is important to understand the characteristics of amputee gait to develop more functional prostheses. The aim of this study is to quantitatively evaluate amputee gait by dynamic analysis of the musculoskeletal system during level walking and stair climbing. METHODS Dynamic analysis using gait analysis, electromyography and musculoskeletal modeling for above-knee amputees (n=8) a...
متن کاملGait training for the below-knee amputee.
Introduction Statistics show that the real incidence of amputa t ion occurs between 60 and 75 years (Kay & N e w m a n , 1975). Hence most of the time the therapist is dealing with older patients who have a poor vascular condition which is often accompanied by other complications such as diabetes , hypertension or cerebro-vascular accidents. The level of amputat ion is highly dependab le on tis...
