The study demonstrates unique characteristics of the gait pattern of Hong Kong Chinese children. The key differences are in the pattern of hip rotation and the magnitude of pelvic rotation, that may be linked to differences in the static rotational profile of Chinese children. The higher cadence,...
Human gait is a complex phenomenon. Many descriptors are needed to completely describe gait in terms of the biomechanics involved. The descriptors, when expressed as a function of the gait cycle, are complex waveforms. For each of these variables, a single "normal" pattern with bands of ...
The mean cadence was 106 steps per minute. Swing phase occupied 39.6% and stance phase 60.4% of the gait cycle. 展开 关键词: Humans Leg Muscles Electromyography Telemetry Adolescent Adult Aged Child Locomotion DOI: 10.1249/00005768-197721000-00141 被引量: 325 ...
Gait patterns of 230 normal children, 3 to 16 years old, were studied with the aid of footswitches. They walked in three different requested velocities. Velocity, stride length, cadence, and the temporal phases of the stride were recorded along with leg length of the subjects. These gait par...
Variations in the gait of normal children. A graph applicable to the documentation of abnormalities The goal of much orthopaedic treatment of children is to improve their walking. To document the quantitative characteristics of walking, we devised graphic displays of speed, cadence, stride length, an...
Difficulty comes from the following two basic facts: (1) gait cadence exhibits complex and nonlinear behavior in both NDD and CO subjects because of the nonlinear dynamics of the human system [14], [15]; (2) due to the impaired movement ability of NDD patients, it is hard to design an...
Spatiotemporal parameters of gait were assessed during level barefoot walking using a GAITRite® walkway. Peak plantar pressure and pressure time integrals were recorded using a TekScan MatScan®. Results were adjusted for age and body mass index. Compared to normouricemic control participants, ...
Comparison of spatiotemporal gait parameters in the CP and ND groups Parameters CP children (n=8) ND children (n=8) Walking velocity (m/min) 63.99 ± 11.22* 107.38 ± 5.14 Cadence (step/min) 89.39 ± 8.04* 115.44 ± 3.17 Stride length (cm) 81.25 ± 12.42* 111.31 ...
small, shuffling steps. Sometimes the gait of NPH and Parkinson's disease may not be distinguishable with the naked eye. In those cases, the patient may undergo testing with a gait map, a long mat that records the timing and regularity of a person's stride, step length, and cadence. ...
The GAITRite gait analysis system employs a portable walkway embedded with pressure sensors that detect footfalls as the subject walks the length of the mat7. The software enables the documentation of a wide range of temporo-spatial gait parameters, including walking speed, cadence, stride length,...
