چکیده

Gait patterns, joint angles, floor reaction forces and joint moments during walking were investigated for normal subjects and above-knee and below-knee amputees. The investigation showed that the hip-knee angle diagram as well as different symmetry diagrams (e.g. left knee angle versus right knee angle) provide an easily interpreted means of evaluating abnormalities in the gait pattern. It was further concluded that a combined gait pattern-force vector diagram is valuable for the evaluation of the joint moments. Floor reaction forces and muscular moments at the joints were also included in the analysis. The joint moments at the knee were quite different for both above-knee and below-knee amputees as compared to the normal subjects. Some interesting trends were also found concerning the knee stability of the amputees. A system called ENOCH was used for the measurement and analysis. This system consists of a minicomputer connected on-line to equipment for measurement of displacement (Selspot) and floor reaction forces (Kistler). A graphic computer terminal (Tektronix) was used for the result presentation.

Purpose: Hemipelvectomy amputation is a surgical procedure in which the lower limb and part of the pelvis are removed.  Although few studies are available on the performance of individuals with hip disarticulation while walking, there is no study on gait analysis of hemipelvectomy subjects. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the gait and stability of an individual with hemipelvectomy amput...

Gait Biomechanics of Individuals with Transtibial Amputation: Effect of Suspension System

Prosthetic suspension system is an important component of lower limb prostheses. Suspension efficiency can be best evaluated during one of the vital activities of daily living, i.e. walking. A new magnetic prosthetic suspension system has been developed, but its effects on gait biomechanics have not been studied. This study aimed to explore the effect of suspension type on kinetic and kinematic...

Assessing of Kinematic Variables of the Lower Extremity while Walking in Military Personnel Healthy and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Background and Aim: Due to the long-term recovery of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and postoperative problems as well as the nonadherence to postoperative rehabilitation programs, the risk of re-injury of this ligament will increase. To ignore kinematic variables in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstructed (ACLR) individuals can be one of the main causes of injury in these people. The...
