Foot Contact Dynamics and Fall Risk among Children Diagnosed with Idiopathic Toe Walking
نویسندگان
چکیده
Children that are diagnosed with Idiopathic Toe walking (cITW) characterized by persistent toe-to-toe contacts. The objective of this study was to explore whether typical foot contact dynamics during predisposes cITW a higher risk falling. Twenty and age-matched controls performed toe trials. gait parameters related dynamics, vertical force impulses stance, slip, trip were compared for both groups. We found manifest less stable produced significantly push-off. Additionally, we had slip-initiation associated horizontal velocities in addition lower transitional acceleration center mass. exhibited clearance being when healthy counterparts. This allowed quantitative description delineated from among cITW. Overall, the results indicate prone slip trip-like falls.
