Effects Of Body Weight Support In Running On Achilles Tendon Loading

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2023
AbstractAchilles tendon (AT) tendinopathy is common in runners. Repetitive AT loading may play a role in etiology. Interventions such as body weight support (BWS) may reduce loading on the AT in running. Examine how ground reaction force, AT loading, foot strike, and cadence variables change ...

Development of a novel body weight support system for gait rehabilitation

Robotica, 2022
AbstractModern rehabilitation processes for neurological patients have been widely assisted by robotic structures, with continuous research and improvements. The use of robotic assistance in rehabilitation is a consolidated technique for upper limb training sessions.

Modeling and Control of a Partial Body Weight Support System

2007 American Control Conference, 2007
This paper reports on the modeling, control design and implementation as well as experimental results of a partial body weight support (PBWS) system, which facilitates walking and the relearning process for people suffering from gait impairment as a result of a neurological injury such as strokes.

Development of Walking Assist Robot with Body Weight Support Mechanism

2021 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration (SII), 2021
Gait rehabilitation is a necessary training process during early-stage treatment for patients suffering from stroke or Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). However, patients with decreased lower extremity muscle strength may have difficulty keeping the stability of the upper trunk and have the possibility of falling down.

Body weight-supported treadmill training after stroke

Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2001
Gait rehabilitation is a major aspect of neurologic rehabilitation. This review focuses on locomotor therapy by treadmill stimulation with partial body weight support (BWS), which has become a very promising treatment concept over the past few years.

Application of a Body-Weight-Supporting Kite for Sprint Running

Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2013
Improvements in sprint performance at the top level require adaptations concerning force application because ground contact time diminishes with increasing velocity. Applied training methods and devices must provoke appropriate stimuli. A knowledge about positive and negative effects of these stimuli is vital for coaches.

Metabolic accommodation to running on a body weight-supported treadmill

European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2014
Body weight-supported treadmill training using positive air pressure has become increasingly popular, but little is known about the metabolic adaptations to these treadmills. This study aimed to evaluate the existence and length of a metabolic accommodation period to running on a lower body positive pressure (LBPP) treadmill.A total of eight ...

Body Weight Measurement of Patients Receiving Nutritional Support

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 1982
A review of patient records over a 14‐day period revealed that daily weights were recorded in only 65.5% of patients receiving parenteral nutrition and 53% of patients receiving enteral alimentation despite a hospital nursing practice requirement for daily weights during nutritional support.

Robotic Orthoses for Body Weight–Supported Treadmill Training

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2006
BWSTT has become an accepted standard of care in gait rehabilitation methods. This type of locomotor training has many functional benefits, but the physical labor costs are considerable. To reduce therapist effort and improve the repeatability of locomotor training, three groups have developed commercially available robotic devices for assisted ...

Muscle Activity During Running With Different Body-Weight-Support Mechanisms: Aquatic Environment Versus Body-Weight-Support Treadmill

Journal of Sport Rehabilitation, 2014
Background:Body-weight (BW) support during running can be accomplished using deep-water running (DWR; 100% BW support) and a lower-body positive-pressure (LBPP) treadmill.Purpose:To compare lower-extremity muscle activity during DWR and running on an LBPP treadmill at matched stride frequency.Methods:Eight subjects (40 ± 6.5 y, 173 ± 7.2 cm, 66.9 ± 11 ...
