Upper Extremity Kinetics during Lofstrand Crutch-Assisted Gait in Children
UPPER EXTREMITY KINETICS DURING LOFSTRAND CRUTCH-ASSISTED GAIT IN CHILDREN Neha Bhagchandani, B.E. Marquette University, 2010 Complete biomechanical analysis helps evaluate the motion during various gait patterns for the upper and lower extremities. Extensive studies have been performed to evaluate unassisted gait patterns, but very little has been accomplished for studying assisted motion. Chi...
متن کاملUpper extremity kinetics during Lofstrand crutch-assisted gait.
A three-dimensional (3D) biomechanical model was developed to determine upper extremity kinematics and kinetics of persons walking with forearm crutches. Six-component load cells and strain gauges were installed in the crutches to determine crutch forces. A six-camera VICON motion system was used to acquire coordinate data from 24 reflective markers attached to the upper extremities and crutche...
متن کاملKinetics during Lofstrand Crutch-assisted Gait in Children with Myelomeningocele
Introduction: Myelomeningocele (MM) is complex disease that often results in functional disability. Studies have shown that approximately 5060% of young adult patients ambulate in the community, with around 20% of these patients using an assistive device, such as Lofstrand crutches [1]. During crutch walking, peak axial loads are a substantial amount of body weight. Literature has shown that lo...
متن کاملMetabolic energy expenditure during spring-loaded crutch ambulation.
CONTEXT Individuals using traditional axillary crutches to ambulate expend approximately twice as much energy as individuals who perform able-bodied gait. A relatively novel spring-loaded crutch now being marketed may reduce metabolic energy expenditure during crutch ambulation. This idea, however, had not yet been tested. OBJECTIVE To determine whether the novel spring-loaded crutch reduces ...
متن کاملApplication of a paraplegic gait orthosis in thoracolumbar spinal cord injury
Paraplegic gait orthosis has been shown to help paraplegic patients stand and walk, although this method cannot be individualized for patients with different spinal cord injuries and functional recovery of the lower extremities. There is, however, a great need to develop individualized paraplegic orthosis to improve overall quality of life for paraplegic patients. In the present study, 36 spina...
