Human gait is a spatiotemporally complex motion, where each segment and joint motion during gait is coupled across other joints. These spatiotemporal joint coupling patterns are closely associated with musculoskeletal injury mechanics, but previous tools used to examine human gait have mainly focused on univariate measures such as stride, step length, maximum range of motion, and the durations ...

Background and Purpose: Anatomical biomechanical differences between male female are also known to cause in gait patterns. However, the results of studies contradictory. Furthermore, these focused only on some spatiotemporal parameters, pelvic movements were not analyzed. The aim present study is reveal difference parameters female.
 Methods: 44 39 males included study. BTS G-Walk system w...

The aim of this study was to summarize the research status and reveal impact mobile phone use on gait characteristics by reviewing existing studies in terms status, participants, independent variables, dependent main findings, etc. Twenty-nine which investigated using phones were identified through a literature search. majority these examined effects young people. preliminary results showed tha...

The aim of this study was to quantify the dynamic response of locomotion to the Wrst oral levodopa administration of the day in patients with Xuctuating Parkinson’s disease (PD). Stride length, walking speed, cadence and gait variability were measured with an ambulatory gait monitor in 13 PD patients (8 males) with a clinical history of motor Xuctuations. The UniWed Parkinson’s Disease Rating S...

Gait recognition is one kind of biometric technology that can be used to monitor people without their cooperation. The controlled environments such as banks; military installations and even airports need to be able to quickly detect threats and provide differing levels of access to different user groups. The Gait shows a particular way or manner of moving on foot and gait recognition is the pro...

PURPOSE To identify potential differences between age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients and controls in fall-relevant gait characteristics. METHODS Spatiotemporal gait characteristics using the GAITRite walkway were collected from 29 AMD patients and 20 controls, aged 60 to 90 years, at the Wilmer Eye Institute. Multiple linear regressions, controlling for age, sex, body mass index ...

[Purpose] This study aimed to determine the effects of Mulligan taping on balance and gait in subacute stroke patients. [Subjects] Thirty patients with subacute stroke were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group (n = 15) and the control group (n = 15). Mulligan taping was applied to the knee joints of participants in the experimental group while placebo taping was applied to k...

BACKGROUND Gradual increases in mass such as during pregnancy are associated with changes in gait at natural velocities. The purpose of this study was to examine how added mass at natural and imposed slow walking velocities would affect gait parameters. METHODS Eighteen adult females walked at two velocities (natural and 25 % slower than their natural pace) under four mass conditions (initial...

Tests of vision, vestibular function, peripheral sensation, strength, reaction time, balance and gait were administered to 183 community-dwelling women aged 22-99 years. Walking speed, stride length and cadence declined with age with corresponding increases in stance duration and percentage of the stride in the stance phase. Visual acuity and contrast sensitivity, tactile and vibration sense in...
