Treadmill training with harness support is a promising, task-oriented approach to restoring locomotor function in people poststroke hemiparesis. Although the combined use of functional electrical stimulation (FES) and treadmill body-weight (BWS) has been studied before, this intervention was compared Bobath as opposed BWS alone. The purpose study evaluate effects FES on walking functions voluntary limb control chronic hemiparesis.Eight who were ambulatory after stroke evaluated.An...

Gait initiation is the task commonly used to investigate anticipatory postural adjustments necessary begin a new gait cycle from standing position. In this study, we analyzed whether and how foot-floor interface characteristics influence process. For purpose, 25 undergraduate students were evaluated while performing in three experimental conditions: barefoot on hard surface (barefoot condition), soft (foam shod (shod condition). Two force plates acquire ground reaction forces moments for...

Hiking is a demanding form of exercise that may cause delayed responses the postural muscles and loss somatosensory information, particularly when repeatedly performed for several days. These effects negatively influence control hikers. Therefore, aim this study was to investigate four-day hike on control. Twenty-six adults both sexes travelled 262 kilometers, stopping lunch resting in early evening each day. Force platforms were used collect center pressure (COP) data at 100 Hz 70 seconds...

Background: Static footprints have been widely used clinically. However, since this measure provides only indirect information about the medial longitudinal arch height, it is not clear if can be indicative of dynamic foot function especially in obese children. This study aimed to verify whether static predict plantar pressures Materials and Methods: Twenty children aged 9 11 years, divided into non obese, voluntarily participated study. were analyzed by using a pedograph Pedar system (Novel...

Although there is a consensus that musculoskeletal anatomy essential knowledge for learning biomechanical concepts, are few studies have documented the nature of this interdependence. A qualitative case study approach was used to identify how applied functional might influence meaningful biomechanics. Thirteen physical education students enrolled in an introductory biomechanics course at university, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, participated study. Meaningful theory major theoretical framework and...
