Asymmetry, Limb Dominance and Foot Orientation during Walking Gait
Although healthy gait is often considered to be characterized by symmetric movement patterns, asymmetries in the early acquisition of gait have been thought to reflect differing balancing vs. propulsive roles for the limbs [1]. In adults, asymmetries have been linked to limb dominance [2,3]. Seeley et al. [3] tested for effects of limb dominance on support and propulsive roles, and found only m...
متن کاملDistal foot segment joint coupling patterns during walking gait
Background Several surface based multi-segment foot models have been developed to investigate distal foot function during gait [1,2]. However, the majority of the models have not defined medial and lateral forefoot or midfoot segments. In addition very little, is currently known regarding the coupling of the distal foot segments [3,4]. The purpose of the current study, therefore, was to utilize...
متن کاملA functional evaluation of prosthetic foot kinematics during lower-limb amputee gait.
This paper reports on a functional evaluation of prosthetic feet based on gait analysis. The aim is to analyse prosthetic feet behaviour under loads applied during gait in order to quantify user benefits for each foot. Ten traumatic amputees (six trans-tibial and four trans-femoral) were tested using their own prosthetic foot. An original protocol is presented to calculate the forefoot kinemati...
متن کاملمروری بر تأثیر عوامل منتخب بر تقارن راه رفتن
Purpose: Because walking is the main activity of humans for movement, many research studies have been conducted to understand its details. One of the main issues in this regard is gait symmetry and the effect of various factors on it. Accordingly, the present study aimed to review the selected factors affecting gait symmetry. Methods: A literature review was performed on articles published fro...
متن کاملEffect of Foot Orthoses on the Timing of Lower Limb Muscles Activity during Walking in Older Adults
Introduction: As a person gets older, their gait patterns change and their ability to walk decreases. Orthoses are used to relieve musculoskeletal disorders, skeletal problems, disabilities, etc. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of orthoses on timing of lower limb muscles in the older adults during gait. Methods: The present study was a clinical trial. 14 females ...
