The relationship between lower limb muscle volume and body mass in ambulant individuals with bilateral cerebral palsy

BMC Neurology, 2017
Background Individuals with cerebral palsy have smaller muscle volumes normalised to body mass than their typically developing peers. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between lower limb muscle volume and body mass in young people ...

Balanced Foot Dorsiflexion Requires a Coordinated Activity of the Tibialis Anterior and the Extensor Digitorum Longus: A Musculoskeletal Modelling Study

Applied Sciences, 2023
Equinus and equinovarus foot deviations (EVFD) are the most frequent lower limb acquired deformities in stroke survivors. We analysed the contribution that the tibialis anterior (TA), extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and plantarflexor muscles play in EVFD

Gait Recognition by Dynamic Cues

, 2008
Many studies have now shown that it is possible to recognize people by the way they walk. As yet there has been little formal study of people recognition using the kinematic-related gait features.

Health care experiences of people with Parkinson’s disease in Australia

BMC Geriatrics, 2023
Background Little is known about the health care experiences of people with Parkinson’s disease (PwP) living in Australia. Exploring health care experiences can provide insight into service gaps which can then help direct quality improvement, such as ...

Gait Analysis for a Tiltrotor: The Dynamic Invertible Gait

Robotics, 2022
A conventional feedback-linearization-based controller, when applied to a tiltrotor (eight inputs), results in extensive changes in tilting angles, which are not expected in practice. To solve this problem, we introduce the novel concept of “UAV gait” to restrict the tilting angles.

Control of the motion of the body's center of mass in relation to the center of pressure during high-heeled gait

, 2017
High-heeled shoes are associated with instability and falling, leading to injuries such as fracture and ankle sprain. Knowledge of the motion of the body's center of mass (COM) with respect to the center of pressure (COP) during high-heeled gait may ...

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.
