Curved walking in hemiparetic patients.
OBJECTIVE Curved walking requires complex adaptations, including shift of body weight to counteract the ensuing centrifugal force, and the production of strides of different length between legs. We hypothesized that gait capacities would be more stressed in hemiparetic patients than in healthy subjects when walking along curved, compared with straight, trajectories. METHODS Twenty chronic, st...
متن کاملCurved Path Walking
Research on biped locomotion has focused on sagittal plane walking in which the stepping path is a straight line. Because a walking path is often curved in a three dimensional environment, a 3D locomotion subsystem is required to provide general walking animation. In building a 3D locomotion subsystem, we tried to utilize pre-existing straight path (2D) systems. The movement of the center of th...
متن کاملAdvances in Curved-Foot Dynamic Walking
Many researchers have successfully designed and built dynamic bipedal walkers with curved feet. The design process for these walkers, however, is typically based on intuition and/or poorly documented, suggesting the opportunity for improvements to be made through more systematic design. The most energy efficient bipeds have curved feet, as studies have shown that replacing point feet with curve...
متن کاملMuscle work is increased in pre-swing during hemiparetic walking.
BACKGROUND Muscle mechanical work is likely affected by gait abnormalities in hemiparetic walking during the paretic pre-swing phase (i.e., double support phase preceding paretic toe-off). Previous experimental studies suggest that muscle work may be decreased in the paretic leg, but paretic work may have been underestimated since experimental approaches based on net joint moments do not accoun...
متن کاملFoot placement in a body reference frame during walking and its relationship to hemiparetic walking performance.
BACKGROUND Foot placement during walking is closely linked to the body position, yet it is typically quantified relative to the other foot. The purpose of this study was to quantify foot placement patterns relative to body post-stroke and investigate its relationship to hemiparetic walking performance. METHODS Thirty-nine participants with hemiparesis walked on a split-belt treadmill at their...
