Filter by:Total hip replacement surgery is a very successful operation with good long-term results. Hip resurfacing arthroplasty is offered as a treatment option for young and active patients with osteoarthritis of the hip. It has been proposed as a treatment option for younger patients because of claims that it preserves femoral bone stock and has better functional outcomes. The assessment of gait after hip replacement surgery may be able to determine functional differences between patients who have undergone total hip replacement / arthroplasty (THA) versus hip resurfacing.
Overall aim is to evaluate HAL for gait training early after stroke and the effect of HAL on short- and long-term functioning, disability and health compared to conventional gait training as part of an inpatient rehabilitation program early after stroke.
The CuePeD trial is an intervention trial measuring the effectiveness of a novel treatment for Freezing of Gait (FOG) in Parkinson's disease (PD). The primary intervention is the use of a wearable cueing device (WCD), which detects and responds to FOG and extinguishes on the resumption of normal walking. It is designed for use in PD patients with FOG, in their home environment where FOG is most severe. Kinematic data will be logged by a memory card in the belt worn device recording FOG, and falls. The device will be used on 3 different settings in a gait laboratory environment, and then for 2 weeks in the patient's own home using the same 3 settings. A battery of psychometric instruments will be administered before and after the trial
This is a pilot study for evaluating the feasibility of using High Intensity Interval Training in geriatric hospitalized patients compared to the standard current rehabilitation practice.
This pilot study investigates the feasibility of novel control strategies for actuated transfemoral prostheses. Several parameters from gait analysis (including motion-capture and ground reaction force measurements) are analyzed. The subjective perception of prosthetic functionality is captured with a questionnaire.
To investigate the effect of anteroposterior weight shifting training with visual biofeedback on step length asymmetry. Reduced speed and asymmetry of stepping is a specific characteristic of hemiplegic gait. Asymmetry of stepping is characterized by shorter step length of the unaffected limb compared to the affected limb. Causes of this phenomenon are difficulty in weight bearing at the affected limb, weak propulsive force of the affected limb, and decreased strength of hip extensors. To correct these factors. we have developed an anteroposterior weight shifting training system with visual feedback and studied its effects.
Falls are a major public health problem. They are the leading cause of injuries and injury-related deaths in those aged over 65 years. Balance and gait abnormalities are major reasons for falls in elderly. Exercise interventions improve gait and balance in the elderly. Despite the many proven benefits of exercise, many older adults in the US remain sedentary. This study targets at improving balance and gait with use of Wii-Fit as an exercise program.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the add load on non-paretic lower limb of individuals that suffer a stroke, while walking on a treadmill, is effective for restore gait symmetry of these individuals, in a subacute phase of stroke.
An exploratory clinical study on a Variable Speed and Sensing Treadmill system(VASST) for hemiparetic gait rehabilitation after stroke. Building upon the positive results of VASST I conducted in 2012, VASST II will be an open label pilot trial of 11 subjects screened for eligibility by TTSH medical and rehabilitation team Study hypotheses : Training on VASST may result in a gain of +40% - 50% for distance walked and +10-20% of gait speed compared to baseline and response rate of 85% and serious adverse event rate of <10%.
The purpose of this research study is to compare two different exercise treatments for walking problems in older adults. The investigators want to determine if participation in the exercise programs will improve walking and thinking abilities.
