Internal forces and moments in the femur during walking.
The forces exerted by the soft and hard tissues of the thigh together represent a system in equilibrium. This balance of loads must be considered when the system components are examined independently. However, in many biomechanical analyses of the thigh, the femur is studied without considering soft tissue loading. To improve the understanding of femoral loading a three-dimensional model was de...
متن کاملSimulation of the Hexapod Robot Ptinto Walking on Irregular Surfaces
In this article we present our recent work on the simulation of a hexapod robot called PTinto. This robot is a prototype that has been designed to test the six legs locomotion system in the surrounding areas of the Tinto River (Huelva-Spain), which scientists have considered that could potentially have many similarities to the Mars surface. This kind of robots represents a great advance in the ...
متن کاملExamination of knee joint moments on the function of knee-ankle-foot orthoses during walking.
The goal of this study was to investigate clinically relevant biomechanical conditions relating to the setup and alignment of knee-ankle-foot orthoses and the influence of these conditions on knee extension moments and orthotic stance control during gait. Knee moments were collected using an instrumented gait laboratory and concurrently a load transducer embedded at the knee-ankle-foot orthosis...
متن کاملImpact of orthoses on imagined and actual walking
Background We know that duration between an actual movement and an imaginary one is similar [1]. We wondered if wearing insoles has an impact on those timings, and particularly if different kinds of insoles have a different impact. We do know that walking changes the respond of motor commands [2]. Feet have a real role in walking as we know. Wearing insoles have an effect on the biomechanics of...
متن کاملChanges in muscle activity in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy while walking with and without ankle-foot orthoses.
We compared the electromyographic (EMG) signals of lower extremity muscle groups in 10 children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP) while walking barefoot and in a hinged ankle-foot orthosis (HAFO). All children had excessive plantarflexion and initial toe-contact on the affected side when walking barefoot, a typical gait pattern for hemiplegic patients. The patients walked with a physiological...
