Knee muscle activity during ambulation of trans-tibial amputees.
Gait analysis of trans-tibial amputees brings to light asymmetries of different gait parameters between the amputated and sound legs. The present study investigated the activity of the vastus medialis and biceps femoris muscles during ambulation of trans-tibial amputees. Peak activities of the vastus medialis were reached similarly in both legs (6.06+/-4.9% and 8.84+/-3.6% of gait cycle, in the...
متن کاملEffects of shoe heel height on biologic rollover characteristics during walking.
This study investigated the effects of shoe heel height on the rollover characteristics of the biologic ankle-foot system. Ten nondisabled adult female volunteers walked using three pairs of shoes with varying heel heights and at three walking speeds with each pair of shoes. Kinematic and kinetic data needed to calculate the rollover shapes of the ankle-foot systems of the participants were col...
متن کاملEffect of shoe heel height on vastus medialis and vastus lateralis electromyographic activity during sit to stand
BACKGROUND It has been proposed that high-heeled shoes may contribute to the development and progression of knee pain. However, surprisingly little research has been carried out on how shoe heel height affects muscle activity around the knee joint. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of differing heel height on the electromyographic (EMG) activity in vastus medialis (VM) and...
متن کاملCutaneous Sensitivity in Unilateral Trans-Tibial Amputees
CUTANEOUS SENSITIVITY IN UNILATERAL TRANS-TIBIAL AMPUTEES Cale A. Templeton Advisor: University of Guelph, 2012 Dr. Leah R. Bent The aim of this research was to examine tactile sensitivity in the skin of the leg and foot sole of healthy control subjects and below knee amputees and to examine its association with balance. For control subjects, the glabrous skin of the foot had higher sensitivity...
متن کاملEffect of Heel Height on the Foot in Unilateral Standing
The purpose of this investigation was to study the effect of elevating the heel during unilateral weight-bearing on structure of the foot, especially a “flat” foot, and on function of the foot in maintaining balance. We examined 16 healthy women, 21 to 23 years of age, who stood unilaterally on the right foot with the heel elevated 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 40 mm. We measured height of the ...
