Speed training with body weight unloading improves walking energy cost and maximal speed in 75- to 85-year-old healthy women.
This randomized controlled study was designed to prove the hypothesis that a novel approach to high-speed interval training, based on walking on a treadmill with the use of body weight unloading (BWU), would have improved energy cost and speed of overground walking in healthy older women. Participants were randomly assigned to either the exercise group (n = 11, 79.6 +/- 3.7 yr, mean +/- SD) or ...
متن کاملImpact of Body Weight Supported Backward Treadmill Training on Walking Speed in Children with Spastic Diplegia
Background: A lot of the ambulating children with spastic diplegia were able to walk with flexed hips, knees and ankles this gait pattern is known as crouch gait. The most needed functional achievement of diplegic children habilitation is to be able to walk appropriately. The development of an independent and efficient walking is one of the main objectives for children with cerebral palsy espec...
متن کاملInfluence of weight loss programmes on walking speed and relative oxygen cost (%VO2max) in obese women during walking.
OBJECTIVE The objective was to investigate effects of dieted weight reduction on walking ability in obese women. METHODS Fifty-seven obese women 44.1 +/- 10.7 years, body mass index 37.1 +/- 3.4 kg x m(-2) performed an indoor walking test. Speed, oxygen consumption and heart rate were measured, perceived exertion and pain graded and oxygen cost calculated. Maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max/kg) wa...
متن کاملWalking speed and step length asymmetry modify the energy cost of walking after stroke.
BACKGROUND A higher energy cost of walking poststroke has been linked to reduced walking performance and reduced participation in the community. OBJECTIVE To determine the contribution of postintervention improvements in walking speed and spatiotemporal gait asymmetry to the reduction in the energy cost of walking after stroke. METHODS In all, 42 individuals with chronic hemiparesis (>6 mon...
متن کاملEffect of Step Length and Step Period on Walking Speed and Energy Consumption: a Parameter Study
Stability and performance are two main issues in motion of bipeds. To ensure stability of motion, a biped needs to follow specific pattern to comply with a stability criterion such as zero moment point. However, there are infinity many patterns of motion which ensure stability, so one might think of achieving better performance by choosing proper parameters of motion. Step length and step perio...
