Kinematic Analysis of Gait and Influence of Backpack Use in Overweight Children
نویسندگان
چکیده
The study aimed to analyze the gait kinematics of youth aged 13-17 years, with BMI≥20 and BMI<20, with and without backpack. It was evaluated 15 boys (mean age 13.8±1.19 years, body weight 48.98±9.74 kg, height 1.62±0.09 m, BMI 18.95±2.64 kg/m2). The gait was evaluated by kinemetry based on video and a standardized backpack with load based on an average weight of the backpacks of all tested subjects. Were measured the durations of phases: Swing, Double and Single Support, average speed, average angles of the hip, knee and ankle. There were significant differences in the angles of the hip, knee and ankle in both groups.

متن کاملKinematic and Gait Analysis Implementation of an Experimental Radially Symmetric Six-Legged Walking Robot
As a robot could be stable statically standing on three or more legs, a six legged walking robot can be highly flexible in movements and perform different missions without dealing with serious kinematic and dynamic problems. An experimental six legged walking robot with 18 degrees of freedom is studied and built in this paper. The kinematic and gait analysis formulations are demonstrated by an e...
