Crouched postures reduce the capacity of muscles to extend the hip and knee during the single-limb stance phase of gait.
Many children with cerebral palsy walk in a crouch gait that progressively worsens over time, decreasing walking efficiency and leading to joint degeneration. This study examined the effect of crouched postures on the capacity of muscles to extend the hip and knee joints and the joint flexions induced by gravity during the single-limb stance phase of gait. We first characterized representative ...
متن کاملCrouched posture maximizes ground reaction forces generated by muscles.
Crouch gait decreases walking efficiency due to the increased knee and hip flexion during the stance phase of gait. Crouch gait is generally considered to be disadvantageous for children with cerebral palsy; however, a crouched posture may allow biomechanical advantages that lead some children to adopt a crouch gait. To investigate one possible advantage of crouch gait, a musculoskeletal model ...
متن کاملPre‐operative psoas muscle mass and post‐operative gait speed following total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis
Muscle volumes of the gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, and tensor faciae latae assessed by a computed tomography (CT) scan were greater in men than women and not different between the left and the right side after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Body mass index, sex, age, and ambulatory status affected functional outcome after THA. However, the effects of psoas muscle mass and muscle quality on f...
متن کاملGait assessment as a functional outcome measure in total knee arthroplasty: a cross-sectional study
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to assess gait in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients, using a technique that can to be used on a routine basis in a busy orthopaedic clinic. METHODS A total of 103 subjects were recruited: 29 pre-op TKA patients; 17 TKA patients at 8 weeks post-op; 28 TKA patients at 52 weeks post-op; and 29 age-matched controls. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) were u...

PURPOSE Our study set out to measure the effect of a specific routine of massage on gait characteristics, range of motion, and spasticity in a person with incomplete spinal cord injury. METHODS This descriptive, pre-post case study, conducted at the outpatient program of a rehabilitation facility, used neuromuscular techniques in massage for a 42-year-old man with incomplete chronic C5 spinal...
