Upper extremity dynamics during Lofstrand crutch-assisted gait in children with myelomeningocele.
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE We present a 3-dimensional biomechanical model of the upper extremities to characterize joint dynamics during 2 patterns of Lofstrand crutch-assisted gait in children with myelomeningocele. The upper extremity model incorporates recommendations by the International Society of Biomechanics. METHODS A Vicon motion analysis system (14 cameras) captured the marker patterns. I...

UPPER EXTREMITY KINETICS DURING LOFSTRAND CRUTCH-ASSISTED GAIT IN CHILDREN Neha Bhagchandani, B.E. Marquette University, 2010 Complete biomechanical analysis helps evaluate the motion during various gait patterns for the upper and lower extremities. Extensive studies have been performed to evaluate unassisted gait patterns, but very little has been accomplished for studying assisted motion. Chi...
متن کاملKinetics during Lofstrand Crutch-assisted Gait in Children with Myelomeningocele
Introduction: Myelomeningocele (MM) is complex disease that often results in functional disability. Studies have shown that approximately 5060% of young adult patients ambulate in the community, with around 20% of these patients using an assistive device, such as Lofstrand crutches [1]. During crutch walking, peak axial loads are a substantial amount of body weight. Literature has shown that lo...
متن کاملUpper extremity kinetics during Lofstrand crutch-assisted gait.
A three-dimensional (3D) biomechanical model was developed to determine upper extremity kinematics and kinetics of persons walking with forearm crutches. Six-component load cells and strain gauges were installed in the crutches to determine crutch forces. A six-camera VICON motion system was used to acquire coordinate data from 24 reflective markers attached to the upper extremities and crutche...
متن کاملModified crutch for the upper extremity amputee with lower extremity involvement.
The Prosthetics/Orthotics and Physical Therapy Departments were faced with the challenge of creating a modified crutch for an upper extremity amputee with lower extremity involvement. A 46-year-old man, with congenital absence of both fibulae and his left arm from above the elbow, underwent a left total hip replacement in March 1979. He then had a left supracondylar osteotomy for valgus deformi...
