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

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

Recurrent internal hip rotation gait in cerebral palsy: Case reports of two patients [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

open access: yesHRB Open Research, 2019
Internal hip rotation in cerebral palsy (CP) is typically treated with a femoral derotation osteotomy. This has been shown to be largely a successful procedure but recurrence rates up to 41% have been reported.

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.

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.

Report on instrumented gait assessment in patients with spinal muscular atrophy: a prospective follow-up (2024–2026) [PDF]

open access: yesChirurgia Narządów Ruchu i Ortopedia Polska
Introduction. Gait disorders are a key determinant of functional capacity in ambulatory patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), significantly affecting quality of life and fall risk. Three-dimensional clinical gait analysis (3DCGA) remains

Associations of Circulating Insulin-Growth Factor-1 With Cognitive Functions and Quality of Life Domains in Ambulatory Young Adults With Cerebral Palsy: A Pilot Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2022
ObjectiveAdults with cerebral palsy (CP) often have impaired cognitive functions. CP also has deteriorations in multiple quality-of-life (QoL) domains. The bio-psycho-social health psychology model posits that biological factor interacts with social and ...

Walking in the Absence of Anterior Cruciate Ligament: The Role of the Quadriceps and Hamstrings

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
The actual need for surgical reconstruction of an injured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is still a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to quantify and analyze the knee kinematics and the ligament force redistribution resulting from the ACL ...

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

open access: yesNature 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 ...
