To evaluate the effect of walking in a virtual world, particularly on plank at varying heights, gait stability children with cerebral palsy (CP) and typical development (TD). Twenty-two participants CP (13 males; 11 years 2 months) twenty-four TD (10 were included. After undergoing clinical analysis, immersed VR via head-mounted display walked heights. Linear mixed-effect models fitted for: margin (MoS), whole-body angular momentum (WBAM), single limb support % (SLS), variability step length...
Abstract This study investigates the effects of varying loading conditions on excitability in neural pathways and gait dynamics. We focussed evaluating magnitude Hoffman reflex (H‐reflex), a neurophysiological measure representing capability to activate motor neurons timing placement foot during walking. hypothesized that weight manipulation would alter H‐reflex magnitude, footfall lower body kinematics. Twenty healthy participants were recruited subjected various weight‐loading conditions....
Background. Subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) is an effective treatment for selected Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. Gait characteristics are often altered after surgery, but quantitative therapeutic effects poorly described. Objective. The goal of this study was to systematically investigate modifications in asymmetry and dyscoordination gait 6 months postoperatively patients with PD compare the outcomes preoperative baseline asymptomatic controls without PD. Methods. A...
Children that are diagnosed with Idiopathic Toe walking (cITW) characterized by persistent toe-to-toe contacts. The objective of this study was to explore whether typical foot contact dynamics during predisposes cITW a higher risk falling. Twenty and age-matched controls performed toe trials. gait parameters related dynamics, vertical force impulses stance, slip, trip were compared for both groups. We found manifest less stable produced significantly push-off. Additionally, we had...
Hearing loss (HL) is a common public health concern which has implications beyond communication, with potential physiological effects on diverse aspects of health.Audiology and biomechanics have traditionally been distinct fields, but recent research started to bridge the gap.Studies hinted at correlations between hearing changes in gait, opening up new avenues for exploration.In this study, we investigate intersection audiology by exploring relationship gait.During walk test, gait data were...
Abstract Background Subthalamic deep brain stimulation is an effective treatment for selected Parkinson’s disease patients. Axial deficits including postural stability and gait characteristics are often altered after surgery, but quantitative gait-related therapeutic effects poorly described. Objective The goal of this study was to systematically investigate modifications in asymmetry dyscoordination six-months post-operatively patients with disease, compare the outcomes preoperative...
To investigate whether multiple domains of gait variability change during motor maturation and if this over time could differentiate children with a typical development (TDC) from those cerebral palsy (CwCP).This cross-sectional retrospective study included 42 TDC 129 CwCP, which 99 30 exhibited GMFCS level I II, respectively. Participants underwent barefoot 3D analysis. Age parameters (coefficient variation stride-time, stride length, single limb support time, walking speed, cadence; as...
