متن کاملBiomechanical analysis of rollator walking
BACKGROUND The rollator is a very popular walking aid. However, knowledge about how a rollator affects the walking patterns is limited. Thus, the purpose of the study was to investigate the biomechanical effects of walking with and without a rollator on the walking pattern in healthy subjects. METHODS The walking pattern during walking with and without rollator was analyzed using a three-dime...
متن کاملCharacterisation of rollator use using inertial sensors
The use of walking aids is prevalent among older people and people with mobility impairment. Rollators are designed to support outdoor mobility and require the user to negotiate curbs and slopes in the urban environment. Despite the prevalence of rollators, analysis of their use outside of controlled environments has received relatively little attention. This Letter reports on an initial study ...
متن کاملFunctional Movement Screening Tests for the Prediction of Injuries in Volleyball: A Qualitative Study
Background. There is little evidence to support the comprehensiveness of FMS in sports populations to predict injuries. Ignoring rapid decelerations and high eccentric forces which may be characteristics of high risk for injury are evident in these tests. With this in mind, it seems logical to use tests to assess the performance of athletes so as to evaluate speed components as well as to ident...
