objective: the present study was aimed to correlate the clinical tests with the laboratory measures under dual task conditions in parkinson's disease (pd). materials and methods: eleven people with idiopathic pd (modified hoehn and yahr scores 1-3) were selected by simple non-probability sampling. center of pressure (cop) data obtained by force platform was used to calculate mean total velocity...

objectives: the present study aimsed to examine the reliability of forceplate parameters under both single and dual task conditions and in different levels of postural difficulty. methods & materials: the healthy elderly+65, were assessed with aone-week interval, with a random combination of three levels of postural difficulty (i.e., standing on a rigid surface with eyes open, standing on a rig...

abstract introduction: in some individuals because of the poor functioning leg muscles, plantar arch drooping suffered and it seems that ground reaction force individuals with flat foot than to those with normal foot, due to reduced recruitment is altered by the arc. the aim of  the present study the effect of corrective exercise program on the ground reaction force of student with flat food du...

A key element in a gait laboratory is a force plate which may be used to measure the forces and moments applied by the foot onto the walking surface during a gait cycle. While many laboratories have relied solely upon motion data as obtained from using various camera techniques for analysis of gait, it is only with the inclusion of a force plate that the dynamic aspects of gait are appropriatel...

in this paper, the propagation of the waves in the laminated composite plates which is subjected to low velocity impact is investigated using the finite element method. a rigid metallic projectile with spherical nose is considered and the impact of this projectile with laminated composite is studied in this study. considering a finite element model the governing equations of the problem is disc...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The broad use of force plates in clinical settings for postural control assessment suggests the need for instruments that are easy to use, affordable and readily available. In addition, these instruments of measurement should be reliable and valid as adequate reliability and validity are prerequisites to making correct inferences. The aim of this study was to examine th...
