Body-Weight–Supported Treadmill Rehabilitation after Stroke [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2011
Locomotor training, including the use of body-weight support in treadmill stepping, is a physical therapy intervention used to improve recovery of the ability to walk after stroke. The effectiveness and appropriate timing of this intervention have not been established.We stratified 408 participants who had had a stroke 2 months earlier according to the

The weight-inclusive vs. weight-normative approach to health: Evaluating the evidence for prioritizing well-being over weight [PDF]

, 2014
Using an ethical lens, this review evaluates two methods of working within patient care and public health: the weight-normative approach (emphasis on weight and weight loss when defining health and well-being) and the weight-inclusive approach (emphasis ...

Gastrocnemius Medialis Contractile Behavior Is Preserved During 30% Body Weight Supported Gait Training

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2021
Rehabilitative body weight supported gait training aims at restoring walking function as a key element in activities of daily living. Studies demonstrated reductions in muscle and joint forces, while kinematic gait patterns appear to be preserved with up

Impact of Body Weight on Performance of a Weight-Supported Motor Fitness Test in Men [PDF]

Military Medicine, 2008
The impact of body weight on test scores is a common issue in applied measurement. Dimensional analysis suggests that heavier participants are disadvantaged in weight-supported tasks. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of body weight on performance scores for a military obstacle course. Three cohorts of male participants completed the
