The effect of aquatic high intensity interval training on cardiometabolic and physical health markers in women: A systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesJournal of Exercise Science & Fitness, 2022
Background/Objectives: We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effect of Aquatic High Intensity Interval Training (AHIIT) on cardiometabolic and physical health markers in women. Methods: Systematic search used 7

Effectiveness of Global Optimisation and Direct Kinematics in Predicting Surgical Outcome in Children with Cerebral Palsy

open access: yesLife, 2021
Multibody optimisation approaches have not seen much use in routine clinical applications despite evidence of improvements in modelling through a reduction in soft tissue artifacts compared to the standard gait analysis technique of direct kinematics. To

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

open access: yesApplied 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

Using New Camera-Based Technologies for Gait Analysis in Older Adults in Comparison to the Established GAITRite System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Various gait parameters can be used to assess the risk of falling in older adults. However, the state-of-the-art systems used to quantify gait parameters often come with high costs as well as training and space requirements.

Finite element modelling of an energy–storing prosthetic foot during the stance phase of transtibial amputee gait [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Energy-storing prosthetic feet are designed to store energy during mid-stance motion and to recover it during latestance motion. Gait analysis is the most commonly used method to characterize prosthetic foot behaviour during walking. In using this method,

Baseline Gross Motor Function Affects the Outcome of Robot-Assisted Therapy in Ambulatory Individuals with Spastic Cerebral Palsy

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2021
Robotic-assisted therapy (RAT) is a task-specific approach for treating gait disorders in individuals with neurological impairments. However, the effectiveness of RAT is not clear for different severities of involvement, pathologies, and ages. This study

Gait speed characteristics and Its spatiotemporal determinants in nursing home residents: A cross-sectional study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Fien, S ORCiD: 0000-0003-0181-5458BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Low and slowing gait speeds among nursing home residents are linked to a higher risk of disability, cognitive impairment, falls, and mortality.

Feature extraction from ear-worn sensor data for gait analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Gait analysis has a significant role in assessing human's walking pattern. It is generally used in sports science for understanding body mechanics, and it is also used to monitor patients' neuro-disorder related gait abnormalities.

Gait analysis

open access: yesAnnals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2011
♦ Gait analysis tries to obtain reliable clinically relevant information from the way in which patients walk♦ Each technique has its own specific advantages and disadvantages, but all to a greater or lesser degree ‘interfere’ with the patient’s ability to walk♦ As yet it remains mainly a research tool.

The swing performance Index: Developing a single-score index of golf swing rotational biomechanics quantified with 3D kinematics

open access: yesFrontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2022
IntroductionGolf swing generates power through coordinated rotations of the pelvis and upper torso, which are highly consistent among professionals. Currently, golf performance is graded on handicap, length-of-shot, and clubhead-speed-at-impact.
