Gait disorders [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2001
This chapter deals with the neuronal mechanisms underlying impaired gait. The aim is, first, a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology and, second, the selection of an adequate treatment. One of the first symptoms of a lesion within the central motor system perceived by patients is a movement disorder, which is most characteristic during

Short-term reduction of ankle spasticity after surgical lengthening of the triceps surae in chronic post-stroke patients: a retrospective cohort study

Frontiers in Neurology
IntroductionIn post-stroke patients with equinovarus foot deformity (EVFD), soft tissue rearrangements may contribute to muscle overactivity when a muscle is stretched or tension is applied.

Feasibility of designing, manufacturing and delivering 3D printed ankle-foot orthoses: a systematic review

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2019
Background Ankle-foot orthoses (AFO) are prescribed to manage difficulty walking due to foot drop, bony foot deformities and poor balance. Traditional AFOs are handmade using thermoplastic vacuum forming which provides limited design options, is labour ...

Plasticity of muscle synergies through fractionation and merging during development and training of human runners

Nature Communications, 2020
Motor commands for human locomotion are generated by combination of muscle synergies. In humans, muscle synergies for running exhibit considerable plasticity during child-to-adult development and adult training to meet the constantly changing ...

Short-term effects of foot surgery on walking-related pain, function, and satisfaction in patients with Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease: a prospective cohort study

Frontiers in Neurology
IntroductionPatients with Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT) often suffer from walking-related pain (WRP), muscle weakness, foot deformities, and reduced ankle dorsiflexion (DF), which affects their ability to walk and daily activities. Functional surgery

Comparison between semitendinosus transfer to distal femur and medial hamstrings surgical lengthening for treatment of flexed knee gait in cerebral palsy

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2020
Purpose: Hamstrings surgical lengthening (HSL) has been frequently used for the treatment of flexed knee gait in cerebral palsy; however, recurrence of knee flexion deformity (KFD) and increase of anterior pelvic tilt (APT) were reported in a long-term ...

Postural transitions detection and characterization in healthy and patient populations using a single waist sensor

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2020
Background Sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transitions are frequent daily functional tasks indicative of muscle power and balance performance. Monitoring these postural transitions with inertial sensors provides an objective tool to assess mobility in both
