Experimental characterization of axillary/underarm interface pressure in swing-through crutch walking.
Supporting weight on the upper support of crutches is not recommended because it can lead to axillary nerve damage. Despite this warning, improper axillary loadings may still occur because of a lack of arm strength or fatigue. It is generally accepted that improper use of conventional axillary crutches contributes to axillary nerve damage, but surprisingly there are no studies characterizing ax...
متن کاملPendular model of paraplegic swing-through crutch ambulation.
Kinematics of swing-through crutch ambulation for an individual with complete T11-T12 spinal cord injury was examined and quantitative aspects of the body-swing phase used to formulate and evaluate a 3-link pendular model. Model simulation parallels measured kinematics when shoulder motion is forced to follow the measured motion while hips and crutch tips are free pivots. Shoulder control contr...
متن کاملElbow moment and forces at the hands during swing-through axillary crutch gait.
We investigated swing-through axillary crutch gait (nonweight bearing on the left lower extremity) to determine the effects of gait speed, crutch length, and handle position on the forces exerted at the hands and on the moments exerted about the elbow joints. Ten healthy subjects, skilled in swing-through crutch gait, walked at three speeds using fitted crutches, at a fixed speed with four diff...
متن کاملParametric Analysis of Impact Configurations in Crutch Walking
In this paper, sensitivity and parametric analyses of impact intensity in crutch walking are investigated. The selected parameters of the crutch for these analyses are chosen as the mass, the second moment of inertia, and the location of the center of mass. The intensity of impact can be characterized by the pre-impact kinetic energy of the constrained motion space. Consequently, this part of t...
متن کاملSynthesis of natural arm swing motion in human bipedal walking.
It has historically been believed that the role of arm motion during walking is related to balancing. Arm motion during natural walking is distinguished in that each arm swing is with the motion of the opposing leg. Although this arm swing motion is generated naturally during bipedal walking, it is interesting to note that the arm swing motion is not necessary for stable walking. This paper att...
