The Timed Up and Go Test is a measurement tool that allows the participant to use assistive devices and walking aids during the test that evaluates functional mobility. This study was conducted to determine the effect of using walking aids on the Timed Up and Go test and it's correlation with balance in stroke patients.
This study will evaluate the retention effects of a four-week whole-body vibration training intervention in children with Cerebral Palsy. The primary outcomes for this study are gait function, including Timed Up and Go and the two-minute walk test. Secondary outcomes of this study include lower extremity gait function, coordination, and gait variability. For this study, a total of 10 children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) will be recruited with 5 being randomly placed into an experimental group and 5 being randomly placed into a control group. Each participant, regardless of group, will complete pre-, post-, and retention testing, with a four-week whole-body vibration training intervention between the pre- and post-testing. The four-week whole-body vibration training will include three visits per week, with the experimental group receiving a vibration stimulus while standing on a vibration platform. Vibration sessions will consist of three-minutes of vibration, followed by three minutes rest, completing this cycle three separate times. The control group will follow a similar pattern, but rather than experiencing vibration, they will hear a sound of the vibration platform through a speaker. Once the four-week training session is finished, participants will return after a three-month retention period to determine whether ambulation function was retained.
Gait is specifically impaired in Parkinson's disease (PD). External auditory cue based on a binary rhythm tested in PD patients disappear when the stimulus is removed. Golden Ratio (GR)is intrinsic in the human gait, but in PD patients this GR has been found impaired. Aim of the study is the administration of an auditory external cue based on a personalized Golden Ratio-rhythm which could potentially assist people with PD to cope with the difficulties that they experience while walking, thus increasing their mobility and autonomy.
This pilot study will determine the feasibility of implementing a combinatory rehabilitation strategy involving testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with locomotor training (LT; walking on a treadmill with assistance and overground walking) in men with testosterone deficiency and walking dysfunction after incomplete or complete spinal cord injury. The investigators hypothesize that LT+TRT treatment will improve muscle size and bone mineral density in men with low T and ambulatory dysfunction after incomplete or complete SCI, along with muscle fundtion and walking recovery in men with T low and ambulatory dysfunction ater incomplete SCI.
