Muscle contributions to support and progression during single-limb stance in crouch gait.
Pathological movement patterns like crouch gait are characterized by abnormal kinematics and muscle activations that alter how muscles support the body weight during walking. Individual muscles are often the target of interventions to improve crouch gait, yet the roles of individual muscles during crouch gait remain unknown. The goal of this study was to examine how muscles contribute to mass c...
متن کاملMuscular contributions to hip and knee extension during the single limb stance phase of normal gait: a framework for investigating the causes of crouch gait.
Crouch gait, a troublesome movement abnormality among persons with cerebral palsy, is characterized by excessive flexion of the hips and knees during stance. Treatment of crouch gait is challenging, at present, because the factors that contribute to hip and knee extension during normal gait are not well understood, and because the potential of individual muscles to produce flexion or extension ...
متن کاملMuscle contributions to vertical and fore-aft accelerations are altered in subjects with crouch gait.
The goals of this study were to determine if the muscle contributions to vertical and fore-aft acceleration of the mass center differ between crouch gait and unimpaired gait and if these muscle contributions change with crouch severity. Examining muscle contributions to mass center acceleration provides insight into the roles of individual muscles during gait and can provide guidance for treatm...
متن کاملOverall principle of lower limb support during stance phase of gait.
The basic function of the lower limb during stance is to resist collapse and to extend sufficiently to achieve the required push-off. Collapse of the lower limb requires a flexion at all three joints (knee, ankle and hip), thus support of the body requires net extensor activity at these joints. A new support moment, M,, is defined as the algebraic sum of the extensor moments at the three joints...
متن کاملMuscle contributions to support during gait in an individual with post-stroke hemiparesis.
Walking requires coordination of muscles to support the body during single stance. Impaired ability to coordinate muscles following stroke frequently compromises walking performance and results in extremely low walking speeds. Slow gait in post-stroke hemiparesis is further complicated by asymmetries in lower limb muscle excitations. The objectives of the current study were: (1) to compare the ...
