Step length (measured during the 6 MWT) revealed a significant average increase of 26.0% when walking with the ABLE Exoskeleton compared with KAFOs (KAFO:\(18.60 \pm 6.31\)% of body height (%BH); ABLE:\(23.43 \pm 4.10\)% BH;p= 0.037; Figure2f). Gait phases (measured during the 6...
Mattlingly and Mackarey [35] determined that the position in which SMT showed greater exposure is in maximum shoulder adduction, maximum medial rotation, and maximum hypertension [35]. This position is different from the forearm behind the back position regarding the amount of extension performed....
Data revealed a normal distribution for all variables except: (a) shoulder alignment with baseline at impact; (b) separation angle at impact; (c) shoulder joint angle flexion/extension at impact; and (d) shoulder joint angle abduction/adduction at impact. Considering the kinematic variables, the...
shoulder [13]. Ohlsson et al. revealed that the range of the resultant reaction force in the shoulder joint was nearly thrice the body mass, which may cause those shoulder injuries in able-bodied sit-ski athletes [14]. Thus, an understanding of the kinematics of the upper extremity, ...
Meanwhile, it correlates at p < 0.01 with the results obtained from the strength assessments carried out with the Armeo® Power of shoulder adduction (−0.710). The extensor synergy item (elbow extension) of the FMA-UL correlates at p < 0.05 with the results obtained from the strength ...
body and affected upper limb on parameters of motor coordination and grip strength in patients after an ischemic stroke. A randomized, parallel crossover study was conducted in the Rehabilitation Department. The study included 29 people aged 68 ± 9.2 years, 5–7 weeks after ischemic stroke. ...
