This study was to examine the effect of leaning-forward posture (LFP) on gait parameters while using a rolling walker (RW). A cross-sectional study was conducted in which 23 older female adults were asked to walk with a RW on the GaitRite walkway in two posture situations: upright posture...
This type of walking pattern is named after German surgeon Friedrich Trendelenburg. He first reported this gait in 1895 after developing a physical exam that identified weakness in the hip abductor muscles. What Are Trendelenburg Gait Causes? A person's gait consists of two phases. When your leg...
A treadmill can be used with or without partial weight support (PWS) to provide the training of a specific task with multiple repetitions of the steps of the gait cycle [21]. This method activates central pattern generators (CPGs) in lumbar region of the spinal cord [23]. CPGs are neural...

The back-view PLWs produced by the eight point-lights attached to the back of a walker also give a clear image of human gait (Sumi, 2000). In the present investigation, the part-reverse (P-R) PLWs were used as stimuli. In the P-R PLWs, the lower-half elements (knees and heels) ...
Therefore, it is important to maintain the user's body balance, and it is necessary to take the user's characteristics into account and coordinate the walker to the user's walking style. Therefore, our proposed system measures the gait of the user's left and right legs and calculates the ...
(1) Background: Ankle fracture results in pain, swelling, stiffness and strength reduction, leading to an altered biomechanical behavior of the joint during the gait cycle. Nevertheless, a common pattern of kinematic alterations has still not been defined. To this end, we analyzed the literature...
The red dot in the center of the butterfly-shaped pattern is the cyclogram intersection point (CISP). (b) The definitions used for the cyclogram. The CISP mediolateral (ML) and anterior-posterior (AP) are the x and y coordinates of the CISP with respect to the symmetric center. The ...
