Evaluation of ground reaction force in walking of below knee amputees based on sample entropy
Introduction: Abnormal pressure during daily activities, including walking, is known as a risk factor in knee joint degeneration in knee amputees. The aim of this research was to analyze ground reaction force (GRF) and sample entropy in below-the-knee amputees. Methods: This study was a descriptive-cross-sectional type, and 20 people with below-knee amputations of the right leg (TT group) and ...
متن کاملKinematics of Hip, Knee and Ankle During Cross- Slope Walking
Purpose: Little information is available on joint kinematic adaptations during walking on cross-slope surfaces (i.e. a surface incline perpendicular to the direction of locomotion). This study aimed to evaluate the effects of cross-slope surfaces on three-dimensional (3D) kinematics of hip, knee, and ankle joints during stance phase of walking. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study...
متن کاملInfluence of advanced prosthetic knee joints on perceived performance and everyday life activity level of low-functional persons with a transfemoral amputation or knee disarticulation.
OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of two types of microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee joints (MPKs) on perceived performance and everyday life activity level. DESIGN Randomized cross-over trial. SUBJECTS Thirty persons with a unilateral above-knee amputation or knee disarticulation classified as Medicare Functional Classification Level-2. METHODS Participants were measured in 3 condit...
متن کاملGait asymmetry of transfemoral amputees using mechanical and microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees.
BACKGROUND Amputees walk with an asymmetrical gait, which may lead to future musculoskeletal degenerative changes. The purpose of this study was to compare the gait asymmetry of active transfemoral amputees while using a passive mechanical knee joint or a microprocessor-controlled knee joint. METHODS Objective 3D gait measurements were obtained in 15 subjects (12 men and 3 women; age 42, rang...
متن کاملDesign and Evaluation of an Articulated Ankle Foot Orthosis with Plantarflexion Resistance on the Gait: a Case Series of 2 Patients with Hemiplegia
Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) have been described to have positive effects on the gait biomechanics in stroke patients. The plantarflexion resistance of an AFO is considered important for hemiplegic patients, but the evidence is still limited. The purpose of this case series was to design and evaluate the immediate effect of an articulated AFO on kinematics and kinetics of lower-limb joints in str...
