BACKGROUND Studies of the maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2max)) of transfemoral amputees have mostly used protocols that activate a relatively small muscle mass. Consequently, transfemoral amputee VO(2max) may be systematically underestimated, and the validity of these test protocols is questionable. OBJECTIVES (1) Investigate validity and reliability of a VO(2max) walking protocol and (2) compare...

OBJECTIVE Extended walking speed is a predictor of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) in older individuals, but the ability of an objective short-distance walking speed test to stratify the severity of preclinical conditions remains unclear. This study examined whether performance in an 8-ft walking speed test is associated with metabolic risk factors and subclinical atherosclerosis. DESIG...

Abstract Introduction and purpose : Fatigue is one of the most common signs of aging that is often overlooked or linked to other conditions, but if left untreated, fatigue in the elderly can lead to loss of normal function. Materials and Methods: Fourty elderly men with an average age of 69.71 ± 1.92 years were volunteered to participate in the control and practice groups. The experime...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of exercise on gait speed, when tested using walking aids and without, and whether effects differed according to amount of support in the test. DESIGN A cluster-randomized controlled trial. SETTING The Umeå Dementia and Exercise (UMDEX) study was set in 16 nursing homes in Umeå, Sweden. PARTICIPANTS One hundred forty-one women and 45 men (mean age 85 ...

Introduction: Measurement of foot pressure variables can be used to assess the loads to which the human body is subjected in normal activities, like walking, or in more demanding situations such as sports. The purpose of this study was to compare the foot pressure variables in blind and healthy individuals with open and closed eyes during walking. Methods: The present study was a quasi-experim...

BACKGROUND Regular walking is a recommended but underused self-management strategy for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). OBJECTIVE To test the impact of a simulation-based intervention on the beliefs, intentions, knowledge, and walking behavior of individuals with T2DM. We compared two versions of a brief narrated simulation. The experimental manipulation included two componen...

Purpose: Walking pattern in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) is abnormal, and dynamic balance of these patients is not clear yet. The objective of this study was to analyze the dynamic balance of patients with PD during walking and comparing it with normal elderly individuals.  Methods: This is an Ex-post - facto research study design. Twelve male patients with PD (mean age: 64.0&...

Objective Some individuals with Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) termed as functional ankle instability (FAI) suffer from repetitive ankle giving way and feeling of ankle joint instability during dynamic activities like walking. Walking, as a postural task, requires some central attention to integrate sensory inputs, estimate, and plan and produce proper motor outputs. Attention demanding cognit...
