Gait analysis as a clinical tool for dementia: current perspectives and future challenges

Advances in Clinical Neuroscience & Rehabilitation, 2021
Gait, the way that we walk, requires complex cognitive functions. Gait may be a useful early marker for dementia diagnosis, as gait impairments precede and reflect cognitive decline.

Model-based 3D gait biometrics

, 2011
There have as yet been few gait biometrics approaches which use temporal 3D data. Clearly, 3D gait data conveys more information than 2D data and it is also the natural representation of human gait perceived by human.

Biomechanics for inclusive urban design : effects of tactile paving on older adults’ gait when crossing the street [PDF]

, 2011
In light of our ageing population it is important that the urban environment is easily accessible and hence supports older adults’ independence. Tactile ‘blister’ paving was originally designed to provide guidance for visually impaired people at ...

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

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Effects of lower extremity constraint-induced movement therapy on gait and balance of chronic hemiparetic patients after stroke: description of a study protocol for a randomized controlled clinical trial

Trials, 2021
Background Protocols involving intensive practice have shown positive outcomes. Constraint induced movement therapy (CIT) appears to be one of the best options for better outcomes in upper limb rehabilitation, but we still have little data about lower ...

The association between isometric strength and cognitive function in adults with cerebral palsy

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
BackgroundThe literature supports quantifying the maximum force/tension generated by one’s forearm muscles such as the hand grip strength (HGS) to screen for physical and cognitive frailty in older adults.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Effect of Obesity on Knee and Ankle Biomechanics during Walking

Sensors, 2021
The purpose of this retrospective study was to quantify the three-dimensional knee and ankle joint kinematics and kinetics during walking in young participants with different degrees of obesity and to identify the associated effects by stratifying the ...

Mechanical work performed by individual limbs of transfemoral amputees during step-to-step transitions: Effect of walking velocity [PDF]

, 2014
The greater metabolic demand during the gait of people with a transfemoral amputation limits their autonomy and walking velocity. Major modifications of the kinematic and kinetic patterns of transfemoral amputee gait quantified using gait analysis may ...
