Functional Demands on the Stance Limb in Walking

Orthopedics, 1985
ABSTRACT: In normal human locomotion, the lower extremities must maintain the erect posture while at the same time permitting forward progression of the body. Walking involves a complex interplay of gravity, momentum changes, and muscle action. A quantitative analysis of the effects of gravity and momentum changes on the stance limb in normal gait has ...

A test of the functional asymmetry hypothesis in walking

Gait & Posture, 2008
The causes of bilateral asymmetries during able-bodied gait are unclear. These asymmetries may represent a form of functional asymmetry, which has been defined as a consistent task discrepancy between the two lower limbs. According to this theory, the non-dominant lower limb contributes more to support, while the dominant lower limb contributes more to

The Function of the Toes in Walking, Jogging and Running

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1979
The foot has been studied in walking, running and jogging using high speed cinema photography in the laboratory for gait analysis in the Shriner's Hospital for Crippled Children, San Francisco. During running, as well as in walking, the extrinsic toe flexors restrain progression of the tibia.

Functional Lévy walks

Physics of Wave Phenomena, 2009
The problem of finding the probability distribution function for a random variable which is the function of a random walking radius vector is analyzed. It is shown for a wide class of these functions hyperbolically dependent on the value of the radius vector that the probability density distributions of these random variables are the known Levy ...

Foot function enabled by human walking dynamics

Physical Review E, 2022
Bipedal walking, the habitual gait for man, is rather unique in nature and poses particular challenges for balance and propulsion. The characteristic double-humped ground reaction force profile has been widely observed but not put into functional context.

Biomechanics of the Foot in Walking: A Function Approach

Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 1985
The physical therapist has recognized the importance of evaluating foot and ankle function in patients who have spinal and lower extremity dysfunction. The ability to properly evaluate a joint requires a thorough understanding of the biomechanics of the involved articulations.

Functional electrical stimulation of walking: Function, exercise and rehabilitation

Annales de Réadaptation et de Médecine Physique, 2008
For nearly half a century, functional electrical stimulation (FES) has been used to restore walking for people with paralysis and muscle weakness due to stroke and spinal cord injury. The first applications of the technology were intended to permanently replace lost neuromuscular function.

The functional sense of central oscillations in walking

Biological Cybernetics, 2002
Rhythmic motor output is generally assumed to be produced by central pattern generators or, more specific, central oscillators, the rhythmic output of which can be entrained and modulated by sensory input and descending control. In the case of locomotor systems, the output of the central system, i.e., the output obtained after deafferentation of ...

Validity of a Functional Dynamic Walking Test for the Elderly

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2009
To determine the validity of a safe, quick, and simple method of measuring dynamic balance in the elderly during gait called the parallel walk test.Control study.Outpatient clinic, community.Twenty-seven elderly fallers (age 82+/-6y) registered at a falls clinic and 34 elderly nonfallers (age 76+/-7y) were recruited to this study based on Mini Mental ...
