Biomechanical conditions of walking

چکیده
The development of rehabilitation training program for lower limb injury does not usually include gait pattern design. This paper introduced a gait pattern design by using equations (conditions of walking). Following the requirements of reducing force to the injured side to avoid further injury, we developed a lower limb gait pattern to shorten the stride length so as to reduce walking speed, to delay the stance phase of the uninjured side and to reduce step length of the uninjured side. This gait pattern was then verified by the practice of a rehabilitation training of an Achilles tendon rupture patient, whose two-year rehabilitation training (with 24 tests) has proven that this pattern worked as intended. This indicates that rehabilitation training program for lower limb injury can rest on biomechanical conditions of walking based on experimental evidence.

متن کاملBiomechanical characteristics of adults walking in shallow water and on land.
Although water environment has been employed for different physical activities, there is little available information regarding the biomechanical characteristics of walking in shallow water. In the present study, we investigated the kinematics, ground reaction forces (GRF), and electromyographic (EMG) activation patterns of eight selected muscles of adults walking in shallow water and on land. ...
متن کاملCommon muscle synergies for balance and walking
Little is known about the integration of neural mechanisms for balance and locomotion. Muscle synergies have been studied independently in standing balance and walking, but not compared. Here, we hypothesized that reactive balance and walking are mediated by a common set of lower-limb muscle synergies. In humans, we examined muscle activity during multidirectional support-surface perturbations ...
متن کاملAn Underactuated Model of Bipedal Gait Based on a Biomechanical Analysis
This paper aims to propose an underactuated model of walking in bipeds in order to make a comparison with a biomechanical analysis. This study begins explaining some relevant concepts of underactuated mechanisms, and it shows some advances in this field. Then, a human body model and a simulation frame are created in a dynamic environment like SimMechanics from Matlab for performing bipedal gait...
