A review of reciprocal walking systems for paraplegic patients: factors affecting choice and economic justification.
The prescription of treatment systems which include orthoses to enable patients with high level thoracic spinal lesions to walk reciprocally is now widely practised. It remains a clinical option for which the efficacy is frequently called into question. A broad range of experience has now been accumulated with orthoses of this type, and this is reflected in the literature. The indications for p...
متن کاملDevelopmental research in paraplegic walking.
An injured London policeman's fight to stand and walk again, despite the handicap ofcomplete paraplegia at thoracic level from a gunshot wound, captured the public imagination last year. British journalists hailed as an important breakthrough his treatment-firstly, with an electrical stimulation system (functional electrical stimulation) for the paralysed lower limb musculature, then using a sp...

متن کاملEnergy cost of walking with flat feet.
A comparative study has been conducted to assess the effects of arch support on oxygen consumption in 20 subjects with flat feet who were generally complaining about fatigue, and also to explore whether their feeling of weariness was objective or not. The resting, walking and final recovery heart rates, blood pressures, and walking oxygen consumption values of the patients with flat feet were m...
متن کاملA Walking Model with No Energy Cost
We have found periodic collisionless motions for a rigid-body walking model. Unlike previous bipedal designs, this model can walk on level ground at non-infinitesimal speed with zero energy input. The model avoids collisional losses by using an internal mode of oscillation: swaying of the upper body which is coupled to the legs by springs. This avoidance of foot-strike collision losses by means...
