2. 1. Rett syndrome, motor development, mobility and orthostatic reactions : loss of function, difficulties and possibilities

   Author : Gunilla Larsson; Britta Lindström; Ingegerd Witt Engerström; Åsa Bartonek; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rett syndrome; child development; developmental disabilities; gait; impairment; mobility; motivation; motor skills disorders; orthostatic intolerance; physiotherapy; recovery of function.;

   Abstract : Rett syndrome (RTT) is a rare, severe neurodevelopmental disorder, which partly develops in a predictable way, and influences many bodily functions. Regression, i.e. loss of earlier achieved abilities, is one of the clinical criteria for RTT. READ MORE

4. 2. 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

5. 3. “Taking the next step” : whole-body biomechanical gait analysis, and user-perspectives on robotic-assisted gait training post-stroke

   Author : Heidi Nedergård; Charlotte Häger; Marlene Sandlund; Susanne Palmcrantz; Erika Franzén; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; stroke; robotic-assisted; electro-mechanical; gait training; gait analysis; user-perspectives; kinematics; physiotherapy; fysioterapi;

   Abstract : Background: Stroke, and its subsequent motor function impairments may result in limited gait ability characterised by compensatory movement patterns that include deviations and asymmetries. How these movement patterns should be evaluated and quantified in order to be monitored and treated in the long term is not yet standardised. READ MORE

6. 4. Gait Event Detection in the Real World

   Author : Siddhartha Khandelwal; Nicholas Wickström; Thorsteinn Rögnvaldsson; Brian Caulfield; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; gait analysis; gait event detection; wearable sensors; accelerometers;

   Abstract : Healthy gait requires a balance between various neuro-physiological systems and is considered an important indicator of a subject's physical and cognitive health status. As such, health-related applications would immensely benefit by performing long-term or continuous monitoring of subjects' gait in their natural environment and everyday lives. READ MORE

7. 5. Neuronal Networks of Movement : Slc10a4 as a Modulator & Dmrt3 as a Gait-keeper

   Author : Martin Larhammar; Klas Kullander; Leif Andersson; Åsa Wallén-Mackenzie; Robert Fyffe; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Synaptic vesicle transporter; Neuromodulation; Dopamine; Central Pattern Generator; Locomotion; Gait; Horse; Mouse; Commissural Inhibitory Interneuron; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

   Abstract : Nerve cells are organized into complex networks that comprise the building blocks of our nervous system. Neurons communicate by transmitting messenger molecules released from synaptic vesicles. Alterations in neuronal circuitry and synaptic signaling contribute to a wide range of neurological conditions, often with consequences for movement. READ MORE
