Filter by:Gait disturbances can be observed in all age groups, and may be due to different conditions, such as advanced age, stroke, head trauma, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, myelomeningocele, among others. The aforementioned gait disorders are associated with an increased risk of falls (which can cause major fractures or head trauma), decreased mobility, loss of independence, cardiovascular pathology, and decreased quality of life. In order to improve a given abnormal gait pattern, an objective assessment of gait is necessary. There are several methods to carry out gait evaluations, like Instrumented Gait Analysis (High cost, time-consuming, qualified professionals needed) and the ones based on observation (limited reliability and validity). An alternative, is the use of video-based systems. SILEMA (Computer System for Gait Study Laboratories in Argentina) is a video-based low-cost gait analysis system that measures temporo-spatial (speed, step length, cadence, stance and swing times) and joint kinematic (Hip, Knee, Ankle) parameters. Its reliability has not been reported yet; thus the primary aim of this study is to determine both the "intra-evaluator" (same evaluator, different sessions) and "inter-evaluator" (same session, different evaluators) reliability.
The investigators aim to use a repeated measures observational study utilising a battery of multimodal assessment tools (e.g., 3D motion capture, wearable technology) in order to validate the DANU Sports Socks. The investigators aim to recruit 40 recreational runners (male and female) from the North East of England. The multimodal battery assessment used in this study will compare metrics between gold-standard traditional assessment methods and more novel wearable technology methods. Following assessment of the validity and reliability of the DANU Sports Socks, the investigators will use the multi-modal sensor to quantify changes in running gait that may occur with injury, fatigue or performance level will permit quantification of running demands in a runner's natural environment, thereby providing insight into injury mechanisms and objective explanations for performance outcomes.
Variable patterns of gait disturbance can be found in patients with spine disease including the problems of gait initiation, freezing of gait, reduced balance and postural control, reduced step lengths, increased step times, and slow walking speed.
Acute cervical femoral neck fracture patients randomized to either cemented or non-cemented stem. The investigators used gait analysis to evaluate if patients operated with a cemented stem showed more favourable hip kinematics and kinetics when compared with a group of patients operated with a non-cemented stem.
The primary goal of Total Hip Replacement (THR) surgery in the treatment of hip osteoarthritis is to reduce pain and restore hip function in order to increase patient mobility and quality of life. Two different cement fixation methods are used in order to insert THR implants. This will be done before and after surgery in 2 groups randomized to either of 2 cement fixation methods. Gait analysis preoperative and 2 year after surgery.
This Observational study aims at the evaluation of stroke subjects with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) during the execution of a 6-Minute Walking test, to evaluate the associations between the kinematic parameters retrieved trough an IMU and the classical outcome scales. Moreover compare the stroke subjects with age-matched healthy subjects, and detect the differences of gait kinematic.
The objective of this research is to investigate the feasibility of delivering gait treatment using the Moterum iStride Solution™ to individuals with hemiparetic gait impairments using a telemedicine modality, the Moterum Digital Platform.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between pattern of gait and pelvic displacement in patients with lumbar disc herniation.
All participants were at least 6-month post-stroke and had unilateral limb involvement (8 right/4 left). The main inclusion criteria in selection of the participants in this study were as follows :(1) First stroke (2) At least 6 months post stroke (3) Able to stand for at least one minute without any assistive devices (4) Able to walk for at least 10 meters. All participants were instructed to walk with bare foot or with ankle-foot orthoses(AFOs) separately under gait detection of the motion capture system. Participants were further instructed to complete the 10 Meter Walk Test at a comfortable speed with BF or with AFOs separately. All participants were provided with sufficient rest between each trial. Patient demographics such as lower limb Brunnstrom stage and Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) score were examined and recorded by experienced therapist. The satisfaction and outcome were measured by the Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology (QUEST) and SF-36. The kinematic and kinetic data were collected by Motion Analysis system.
The functional outcomes after TKA are satisfying with a full recovery at 6 months - 1 year. Nevertheless, the revisions of TKA have often lower functional results than primary TKA with a long delay of recovery. The Stryker TKA present the same device for primary TKA and for revision. The aim of this study is to compare the gait kinematics at 6 months after primary Stryker TKA or Revision Stryker TKA to assess if the objective outcomes are similar with this device.
