Introduction Stroke patients with hemiplegia are at an increased risk of falling during sit-to-stand (Si-St) and stand-to-sit (St-Si) tasks, partly due to impaired bilateral lower limb symmetry. Maintaining symmetrical movement between the limbs in these tasks can help reduce fall incidence. Method This study aimed investigate symmetry Si-St St-Si stroke compare their performance healthy controls. Thirteen 13 controls participated study. Participants were instructed perform 30-s chair stand...

Physical activities such as walking and climbing stairs are pervasive in human daily life. Individuals with scoliosis frequently encounter dysfunction their muscle recruitment. Multiple studies have corroborated the presence of individuals diagnosed scoliosis. However, there is currently a noteworthy research gap regarding exploration changes characteristics disparities from those observed without during everyday activities, specifically stair climbing. This study aims to examine unique...

Complete ground reaction forces (GRFs) are vital for biomechanical analysis. The GRFs currently measured by force plates. measurement of during stair walking is difficult due to the need instrumented staircases. We trained two bi-lateral long short-term memory (BiLSTM) neural networks estimate 3D ascent and descent using whole-body kinematics as input. dataset collected from eighty subjects, including healthy knee osteoarthritis individuals. also developed a post-processing algorithm remove...

Inter-joint coordination is an important factor affecting postural stability, and its variability increases after fatigue. This study aimed to investigate the pattern of lower limb joints during sit-to-stand (Si-St) stand-to-sit (St-Si) tasks in stroke patients explore influence duration on inter-joint coordination.Thirteen hemiplegia (five with left paretic eight right paretic) thirteen age-matched healthy subjects were recruited. The Si-St St-Si performed while each subject's joint...

Background contextTraditional 3D motion analysis typically considers the spine as a rigid entity. Nevertheless, previous single-joint models have proven inadequate in evaluating movement across different spinal segments patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS). Scoliosis significantly impairs functions, especially during activities such ascending and descending stairs. There is lack of research on patterns stair specifically for IS.PurposeThis study aims to investigate trunk kinematics...

Objective: Individuals with knee osteoarthritis are at higher risk for falls during transitions between floor and stair walking due to their reduced lower extremity function. However, the adjust gait characteristics of subjects dealing have not been explored. We aimed investigate strategies in individuals compared age-matched without OA transition on stairs. Method: Gait 30 floor-to-stair stair-to-floor were accessed using a 3D motion capture system. Foot-tread clearance, angles joints trunk...

Background: Trigger point (TrP) acupuncture is commonly used to treat chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP). Evidence for the efficacy of most TrP modalities weak or lacking. Objective: To assess effect on pain, disability, gait and muscle activation in patients with CNLBP. Methods: From May 2019 February 2020, a randomised, single-blind clinical trial was carried out involving 33 participants CNLBP, divided into one two intervention groups control group ( n = 11 per group).

Stair ascent and descent require complex integration between sensory motor systems; individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) have an elevated risk for falls fall injuries, which may be in part due to poor dynamic postural control during locomotion. Tai chi exercise has been shown reduce risks the ageing population is recommended as one of non-pharmocological therapies people KOA. However, neuromuscular mechanisms underlying benefits tai persons KOA are not clearly understood. Postural...
