Gait retraining: altering the fingerprint of gait
نویسنده
چکیده
In terms of running, there is evidence that links mechanics with injury. This evidence provides the justification for altering these mechanics. Increased hip adduction and vertical impact loading have been most commonly associated with injury. More work is needed in order to understand the optimal way to retrain gait patterns in runners. The human body has a considerable ability to adapt. To provide individuals with the ability to alter faulty movement patterns in ways that can reduce injury risk is a powerful tool.

Effect of Gait Retraining on Balance, Activities of Daily Living, Quality of Life and Depression in Stroke Patients
Objectives: Stroke is one of the most common neurological disease and it is the main cause of physical and mental disability and staying in house. Gait difficulties have high incidence in patients with stroke. So the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of gait retraining on balance, activities of daily living, quality of life and depressionin stroke patients. Methods: This study ...
متن کاملMuscle force modification strategies are not consistent for gait retraining to reduce the knee adduction moment in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
While gait retraining paradigms that alter knee loads typically focus on modifying kinematics, the underlying muscle force modifications responsible for these kinematic changes remain largely unknown. As humans are generally thought to select uniform gait muscle patterns such as strategies based on fatigue cost functions or energy minimization, we hypothesized that a kinematic gait change known...
متن کاملEffectiveness of gait-retraining with auditory feedback on pain and lower body kinematics in injured recreational runners
Aims and background: Abnormal hip and knee mechanics are often implicated in runners with history of injury. We considered evaluating a simple gait-retraining protocol, using auditory-external feedback, in runners with running-related injuries and abnormal hip and knee mechanics. The effect of using external-feedback may have been more profound if the content of instruction had been relevant to...

Wearable gait retraining could enable benefits from laboratory retraining systems to extend to a broad portion of the population, which doesn’t live near or have access to laboratory gait retraining testing facilities. While few portable gait retraining systems utilize both wearable sensing and wearable feedback, several systems employ critical components. The purpose of this paper is to provid...
متن کاملGait retraining as part of the treatment programme for soldiers with exercise-related leg pain: preliminary clinical experiences and retention
Exercise-related leg pain (ERLP) is a common problem in the military. Healthy young men can have pain in both legs only weeks after starting a training course, leading to them dropping out of the military. The most common diagnoses in the Armed forces of the Netherlands are: 1. Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS), 2. Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome (CECS), or 3. A combination of MTSS+C...
