Association of Gait Speed, Psychomotor Speed, and Dementia

Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, 2017
Background: Gait speed (GS) and psychomotor speed (PS) could be considered as two different dimensions of age-related slowness and both measures are associated with higher risk of adverse health-related outcomes among elderly people. Objective:

Assessment of Gait Speed in Older Adults

Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy, 2020
Background and Purpose: Gait speed is an important measure of functional ability and has been widely used in older adults as an indicator of frailty. However, the diversity in measurement protocols in clinical settings creates variability in outcome measures.

Influence of walking speed on gait parameters

Journal of Biomedical Engineering, 1985
Modern three-dimensional gait analysis systems give information on joint angles and moments in the sagittal and coronal planes, for which normal ranges may not be readily available in the literature. Since patients with joint disease tend to walk slowly and with a short stride, it is essential that normal ranges for gait parameters should be defined ...

The impact of speed and time on gait dynamics

Human Movement Science, 2017
To determine the effects of speed on gait previous studies have examined young adults walking at different speeds; however, the small number of strides may have influenced the results. The aim of this study was to investigate the immediate and long-term impact of continuous slow walking on the mean, variability and structure of stride-to-stride ...

Changes in 6DOF knee kinematics during gait with decreasing gait speed

Gait & Posture, 2022
Gait speed is recognized to correlate to knee kinematic alterations. Clinically, patients with knee diseases tend to walk slowly compared to healthy controls. Hence, gait speed may serve as a confounding factor in the kinematic characteristics of patients during gait compared to healthy controls.Whether and how gait speed affects six degrees of freedom

Bone Strain: A Determinant of Gait and Speed?

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1986
ABSTRACT Principal strains were recorded in vivo from the radial and tibial midshafts of three goats as they increased speed and changed gait. These data were compared with strain data measured for the radius and tibia of the dog (Rubin & Lanyon, 1982) and the horse (Biewener, Thomason & Lanyon, 1983b) in order to test the ...

Speeds and gaits of dinosaurs

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 1982
The known relationships of speed, gait and body size (derived mainly from mammals) are used to determine the gaits and theoretical maximum speeds of dinosaurs. Speed estimates are made for 62 dinosaurs (representing 51 genera) and are supplemented with information from comparative anatomy and from dinosaur trackways.

Gait Speed and Dismobility in Older Adults

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2015
To classify hospitalized older patients with slow gait speed, and test the hypothesis that slow gait speed or dismobility is associated with increased mortality risk.Prospective study.Acute care geriatric hospital unit.Older patients (N=289) admitted to a geriatric hospital unit.Not applicable.Two-year survival determined by medical record review and a

Propulsive adaptation to changing gait speed

Journal of Biomechanics, 2001
Understanding propulsion and adaptation to speed requirements is important in determining appropriate therapies for gait disorders. We hypothesize that adaptations for changing speed requirements occur primarily at the hip. The slow, normal and fast gait of 24 healthy young subjects was analyzed. The linear power was analyzed at the hip joint.

Speeding up gait initiation and gait-pattern with a startling stimulus

Gait & Posture, 2010
Human gait involves a repetitive leg motor pattern that emerges after gait initiation. While the automatic maintenance of the gait-pattern may be under the control of subcortical motor centres, gait initiation requires the voluntary launching of a different motor program.
