Coactivation of Lower Limb Muscles during Gait in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
BACKGROUND Coactivation of agonist and antagonist lower limb muscles during gait stiffens joints and ensures stability. In patients with multiple sclerosis, coactivation of lower limb muscles might be a compensatory mechanism to cope with impairments of balance and gait. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess coactivation of agonist and antagonist muscles at the knee and ankle joints d...
متن کاملInvestigation of Gait Initiation in Women With Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Background: Walking impairment is one of the most reported symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The documentation of gait impairments is important for indexing disease progression and rehabilitation in MS. By measuring and comparing relevant parameters based on the Center of Pressure (COP) patterns, this study aimed to characterize the execution of the gait task and to identify the relationship...
متن کاملGait Patterns in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Background Limited walking ability is an important problem for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). A better understanding of how gait impairments lead to limited walking ability may help to develop more targeted interventions. Although gait classifications are available in stroke and cerebral palsy, relevant knowledge in MS is scarce. The purpose of this study is to identify distinctive gait...
متن کاملThe Effect of Knee Osteoarthritis on Excursions of Lower Limb Joints During Gait
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate excursion changes at the hip, knee, and ankle joints during gait in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) of varying severity. Methods: The method of research was causal-comparative (Ex Post Facto). A Vicon motion analysis system with 4 T-Series cameras was used to measure the kinematics variables. Fifteen normal subjects without KOA and thirty patien...
متن کاملComparison of electrical and co-contraction activity of selected lower limb muscles during manual load lifting with three different technique
Introduction and Aim: Manual handling of loads is a complex dynamic task that involves the upper and lower limbs. Manual handling of loads in sports and daily activities can expose people to unfavorable physical conditions and lead to injury. The study aimed to compare the electrical activity and co-contraction of selected lower limb muscles during manual load lifting with three different techn...
