Background. There have been many studies on partial weight support walking training. However, most studies have been performed in treadmill settings, not in actual walking environments. Objectives. This study aimed to investigate the effect of partial weight support ground walking training on the temporal and spatial gait parameters of chronic stroke patients. Methods. This study was designed...

With the increasing number of people who have problems with their walking, a new type of gait rehabilitation training robot has been put forward and designed. In order to meet the requirements of the gait rehabilitation training, the whole mechanical structure and control system have been designed, and the model machine for gait rehabilitation training robot has been made. Using the human gait ...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to compare spatio-temporal gait parameters between elderly and young male subjects. methods & materials: 57 able-bodied elderly (72±5.5 years) and 57 healthy young (25±8.5 years) subjects participated in this study. a four segment model consist of trunk, hip, shank, and foot with 10 reflective markers were used to define lower limbs. kinematic data coll...

as a robot could be stable statically standing on three or more legs, a six legged walking robot can be highly flexible in movements and perform different missions without dealing with serious kinematic and dynamic problems. an experimental six legged walking robot with 18 degrees of freedom is studied and built in this paper. the kinematic and gait analysis formulations are demonstrated by an e...

background: in this study we investigated the differences of functional gait and balance measures between patients with chronic stroke with different level of concern about falling. methods: fifty-four patients with chronic stroke participated in this observational, cross-sectional study. the level of concern relating to falls was assessed by using the falls efficacy scale-international. thirty...
