Physiological Cost Index and Comfort Walking Speed in Two Level Lower Limb Amputees Having No Vascular Disease
BACKGROUND The Physiological Cost Index (PCI) was introduced by MacGregor to estimate the energy cost in walking of healthy people, also it has been reported for persons with lower limb amputation, walking with prosthesis. OBJECTIVE To assess energy cost and walking speed in two level lower limb amputation: transfemoral and transtibial amputation and to determine if the age and prosthetic wal...
متن کاملThe Physiological Cost Index and Some Kinematic Parameters of Walking and Jogging in Blind and Sighted Students
Background: Vision plays an important role in supporting efficient locomotion. The present study aimed to measure the physiological cost index (PCI) and some kinematic parameters of preferred walking and jogging in blind and sighted students.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among blind (n=18) and sighted (n=27) students aged 8-16 years. The following parameters were measured...
متن کاملThe efficacy of physiological cost index (PCI) measurement of a subject walking with an Intelligent Prosthesis.
The Intelligent Prosthesis may enable lower limb amputees to walk faster than with conventionally damped prostheses and as a result the physical burden involved in walking could be expected to be considerably higher. The aim of this study was to investigate whether or not physiological cost index (PCI) is applicable as an indicator for monitoring the amount of exercise load involved in walking ...
متن کاملA comparative study of the physiological costs of walking in ten bilateral amputees.
The physiological cost of walking is greater in bilateral amputees (BA) than in both unilateral amputee and non-pathological gait. The aim of this study was to describe the physiological costs and other standard gait characteristics in a sample population of BA, walking at self-selected (comfortable) speeds. Amputees had bilateral trans-tibial, bilateral trans-femoral or trans-tibial/trans-femo...
متن کاملEnergy cost of walking of amputees: the influence of level of amputation.
A comparison of selected gait parameters and the energy cost of prosthetic walking was made in seventy patients with unilateral traumatic and vascular amputations. Amputations above the knee, below the knee, and at the Syme's level were compared in both groups of amputees, and a control group of forty normal subjects also studied. In both groups of amputees performance was significantly better ...
