  2. 1. Knee flexion contracture and flexed knee gait in children with cerebral palsy

    Author : Evelina Pantzar-Castilla; Jacques Riad; Per Wretenberg; Piotr Michno; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cerebral palsy; knee flexion contracture; 2- and 3-dimensional gait analysis; video assessment; gait; flexed knee gait; functional measures; orthopedic surgery;

    Abstract : Cerebral palsy (CP) is considered the most common cause of physical disability in childhood. Most children will walk, but gait often deteriorates with growth and development. READ MORE

  4. 2. Biomechanical consequences of gait impairment at the ankle and foot : Injury, malalignment, and co-contraction

    Author : Ruoli Wang; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Eva Broström; Eriksson Anders; Ilse Jonkers; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; muscle function; gait analysis; induced acceleration; foot kinematics; dynamic joint stiffness;

    Abstract : The human foot contributes significantly to the function of the whole lower extremity during standing and locomotion. Nevertheless, the foot and ankle often suffer injuries and are affected by many musculoskeletal and neurological pathologies. READ MORE

  5. 3. Video based analysis and visualization of human action

    Author : Martin Eriksson; Stefan Carlsson; Ian Reid; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Människa-dator-interaktion; Motion analysis; Visualization; Human tracking; virtual coach; Människa-dator-interaktion; Information technology; Informationsteknologi;

    Abstract : Analyzing human motion is important in a number of ways. An athlete constantly needs to evaluate minute details about his or her motion pattern. In physical rehabilitation, the doctor needs to evaluate how well a patient is rehabilitating from injuries. Some systems are being developed in order to identify people only based on their gait.

  6. 4. Clinical and kinematic assessments of upper limb function in persons with post-stroke symptoms

    Author : Gudrun M Johansson; Charlotte K Häger; Helena Grip; Erika Franzén; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Cross-sectional studies; Arm; Hand; Gait; Outcome assessment; Clinical laboratory techniques;

    Abstract : Stroke is a common and multifaceted disease that often involves motor deficits in the upper limb. This thesis investigated reliability and validity of existing clinical assessments of upper limb function in persons with post-stroke symptoms and in non-disabled controls. READ MORE

  7. 5. Methods for analysis of 3D movement of the trunk during treadmill locomotion

    Author : Virgil P Stokes; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : human. trunk. Iocomotion. kinematics. 3D. treadmill Stockhtolm 1997;

    Abstract : Human locomotion is a common activity and although much progress has been made in the analysis and modeling of movement, we still have a rather limited understanding of the basic mechanisms of normal locomotion. A full understanding requires the integration of the underlying neural mechanisms with the 3D dynamics (kinetics + kinematics) of locomotion. READ MORE
