Lower-extremity gait kinematics on slippery surfaces in construction worksites.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the lower-extremity kinematics when walking on potentially slippery surfaces in simulated construction worksite environments. METHODS A survey was conducted to select two types of footwear, two floorings, and four contaminants to represent the local construction worksite environments, making 16 simulated conditions. A mechanical slip-resist...
متن کاملEffects of Ballistic Extremity Armor on Joint Kinematics during Gait
In addition to the standard armor vest, the U.S. military has been issuing ballistic armor designed to protect the arms and legs. Some of these extremity armor systems allow for scalable protection, providing soldiers with increased ballistic armor coverage when deemed necessary by adding additional components that protect the forearms and shanks to the upper arm and thigh components with hook ...
متن کاملEffect of an unstable shoe construction on lower extremity gait characteristics.
BACKGROUND To compare kinematics, kinetics and muscle activity during standing and walking for healthy subjects using an unstable test shoe (Masai Barefoot Technology, MBT) and a stable control shoe. METHODS Eight subjects volunteered for this study. During quiet standing, center of pressure excursion and muscle activity were determined. During walking, lower extremity kinematics, kinetics, a...
متن کاملEffects of walking poles on lower extremity gait mechanics.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine whether walking with poles reduces loading to the lower extremity during level over ground walking. METHODS Three-dimensional gait analysis was conducted on 13 healthy adults who completed 10 walking trials using three different poling conditions (selected poles, poles back, and poles front) and without the use of poles (no poles). The invers...
متن کاملEffectiveness of gait-retraining with auditory feedback on pain and lower body kinematics in injured recreational runners
Aims and background: Abnormal hip and knee mechanics are often implicated in runners with history of injury. We considered evaluating a simple gait-retraining protocol, using auditory-external feedback, in runners with running-related injuries and abnormal hip and knee mechanics. The effect of using external-feedback may have been more profound if the content of instruction had been relevant to...
