Walkway lengths for measuring walking speed in stroke rehabilitation.
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of walkway length (5, 8 or 10 m) on measurements of comfortable and maximum walking speed. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING University-based rehabilitation centre. SUBJECTS Patients (n = 25) with chronic stroke. METHODS Timed walking with different walkway lengths (5, 8 and 10 m) walkways were recorded using a stop-watch. RESULTS No signific...
متن کاملVariation of hamstrings lengths and velocities with walking speed.
Crouch gait, one of the most prevalent movement abnormalities among children with cerebral palsy, is frequently treated with surgical lengthening of the hamstrings. To assist in surgical planning many clinical centers use musculoskeletal modeling to help determine if a patient's hamstrings are shorter or lengthen more slowly than during unimpaired gait. However, some subjects with crouch gait w...
متن کاملWalking speed in elderly patients undergoing rehabilitation after hip replacement.
Background. Our study was undertaken to assess the impact of a structured rehabilitation regimen on walking speed in frail elderly patients recovering from hip replacement surgery, as well as to determine whether regular use of a pedal exerciser combined with multi-sensory training can increase this parameter. Material and methods. The study lasted 12 weeks and involved 52 subjects, randomly di...
متن کاملOptimal speeds for walking and running, and walking on a moving walkway.
Many aspects of steady human locomotion are thought to be constrained by a tendency to minimize the expenditure of metabolic cost. This paper has three parts related to the theme of energetic optimality: (1) a brief review of energetic optimality in legged locomotion, (2) an examination of the notion of optimal locomotion speed, and (3) an analysis of walking on moving walkways, such as those f...
متن کاملIs gait speed or walking distance a better predictor for community walking after stroke?
OBJECTIVE To determine if gait speed or walking distance is a better predictor for community walking after stroke. METHODS Data from the FIT-Stroke trial were used in a cross-sectional design. Community walking was measured with a self-administered questionnaire. The 5-m timed walk and the 6-min walk were used to assess gait speed and walking distance. With bivariate regression analyses the a...
