Does gait analysis quantify motor rehabilitation efficacy in Parkinson's disease patients?
SUBJECTS Sixteen rigid-akinetic idiopathic Parkinson's disease patients (PD) and 13 healthy control subjects (controls) were included in this study. METHODS Gait analysis was performed using an optoelectronic system. The experimental design involved double evaluation of PD patients (before and after motor rehabilitation program) and a single evaluation of controls. ANOVA was performed in both...
متن کاملGait ground reaction force characteristics in children with and without forward head posture
Background: Forward head posture is one of the most prevalent abnormal postures in patients with neck disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of forward head posture on gait ground reaction force characteristics in children. Methods: Twelve children with forward head posture (age: 11.8±1.3 years) and sixteen healthy control children (...
متن کاملSpinal Cord Stimulation in Failed Back Surgery Syndrome: Effects on Posture and Gait—A Preliminary 3D Biomechanical Study
We studied 8 patients with spinal cord stimulation (SCS) devices which had been previously implanted to treat neuropathic chronic pain secondary to Failed Back Surgery Syndrome. The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of SCS on posture and gait by means of clinical scales (Short Form Health Survey-36, Visual Analogue Scale for pain, and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale) and instrume...
متن کاملConceptual Design of a Gait Rehabilitation Robot
Gait rehabilitation using body weight support on a treadmill is a recommended rehabilitation technique for neurological injuries, such as spinal cord injury. In this paper, a new robotic orthosis is presented for treadmill training. In the presented design the criteria such as low inertia of robot components, backdrivability, high safety and degrees of freedom based on human walking are conside...
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...
