Ground reaction forces during level ground walking with body weight unloading
BACKGROUND Partial body weight support (BWS) systems have been broadly used with treadmills as a strategy for gait training of individuals with gait impairments. Considering that we usually walk on level ground and that BWS is achieved by altering the load on the plantar surface of the foot, it would be important to investigate some ground reaction force (GRF) parameters in healthy individuals ...
متن کاملVariability of ground reaction forces during treadmill walking.
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether or not the neuromuscular locomotor system is optimized at a unique speed by examining the variability of the ground reaction force (GRF) pattern during walking in relation to different constant speeds. Ten healthy male subjects were required to walk on a treadmill at 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0 km/h. Three components [vertical (F(z)), an...
متن کاملPeripheral arterial disease affects ground reaction forces during walking.
OBJECTIVE Claudication is the most common manifestation of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), producing significant ambulatory compromise. The gait of claudicating patients has been evaluated using primarily temporal and spatial parameters. With the present study, we used advanced biomechanical measures to further delineate the ambulatory impairment of claudicating patients. We hypothesized tha...
متن کاملCOMPARING EFFICIENCY OF EXERCISE ON THE TREADMILL AND GROUND ON THE GROUND REACTION FORCES DURING WALKING IN PEOPLE WITH GENU VARUM
Background & Aim: Genu varum is one of the most common abnormalities of the knee joint in which the inner condyles of the femur move away from each other. The aim of the present study was to compare efficiency of exercise on the treadmill and ground on the ground reaction forces during walking in people with genu varum. Material & Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental and laborat...
متن کاملA comparison of ground reaction forces during level and cross-slope walking in Labrador Retrievers
BACKGROUND Inclined or slippery surfaces and various other types of obstacles are common demands in our environment. Dogs with impaired locomotion might have difficulties to manage rough terrain. Gait analyses using force plates or pressure plates, which are well established to characterize limb loads in human medicine as well as in animals, are mostly limited to level surfaces. Therefore, the ...
