How much muscle strength is required to walk in a crouch gait?

Muscle weakness is commonly cited as a cause of crouch gait in individuals with cerebral palsy; however, outcomes after strength training are variable and mechanisms by which muscle weakness may contribute to crouch gait are unclear. Understanding how much muscle strength is required to walk in a crouch gait compared to an unimpaired gait may provide insight into how muscle weakness contributes...

How Much Time is Required for the Process of Reviewing and Publishing an Article?

از زمانی که پژوهش‌گران نگارش یک مقاله را به پایان برده و ارسال آن به مجله را در دستور کار خویش قرار می‌دهند، یکی از مهم‌ترین سؤالاتی که ممکن است ذهن آن‌ها را مشغول نماید این است که: " در مجله مورد نظر، چقدر زمان برای فرآیند بررسی و چاپ یک مقاله مورد نیاز است؟" این سوال، به خصوص برای دانشجویان تحصیلات تکمیلی که برای چاپ مقاله خود عجله دارند، از اهمیت بیش‌تری برخوردار است. توصیه شخصی من این است...

Crouch Gait is More Stable than Normal Gait

Normal gait is a pattern of walking that humans normally adopt in undisturbed situations. Gait patterns are considered to be either abnormal or impaired if they do not satisfy certain key attributes of normal gait. It has previously been postulated that normal gait is more energy efficient than abnormal or impaired gait. However, it is not clear whether a normal gait pattern is also superior to...

Muscle Coordination and Energy Cost in Voluntary Crouch Gait

Introduction Crouch gait is a well known pathological gait pattern that is often present in diplegic children with a cerebral palsy, eg. [1]. Though the effect of crouch gait on muscle length and interventions at the muscular level on the crouch position are well studied [2,3], it is not known how changes in muscle kinetics are related to the changed posture and mechanisms of propulsion. Howeve...
