Knee osteoarthritis (OA) can lead to pain and disability in the older population. Excessive loading has been suggested to contribute to the development of knee OA. In this paper, we investigated the frequency components in accelerometric signals of the tibia in the anterior-posterior (AP), medial-lateral (ML) and vertical (Vert) directions during walking between people with severe knee OA and asymptomatic...
The use of sensors in studies of human movement and gait is now fast gaining attention as a promising alternative to video capture systems in gait laboratories. Inertial sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes have been deployed to detect acceleration and angular velocities of body landmarks, from which secondary quantities such as velocity, displacement and joint angles could be inferred. The...
The influence of the reflex neural mechanisms on the cardiovascular response during exercise can be addressed by analysing cardio-locomotor entrainment. This preliminary study provides an insight for designing a protocol to investigate cardio-locomotor entrainment during locomotion in young healthy adults. Heart rate, ECG signals and locomotor rhythm were recorded during two treadmill walking protocols...
Idiopathic toe walkers are children whose heels do not touch the ground during walking, but who do not have any neurological deficit to explain this. The stretch reflexes for these children are normal, so that the toe walking appears to be voluntary. These children often suffer social problems. Many of these children who are not treated and some during treatment, are likely to develop a dasiaBouncy...
Tripping and slipping falls are serious health concerns for the elderly because they incur high medical costs and can result in life threatening injuries i.e., internal bleeding. Recently there has been an increased interest in the development of portable inertial sensing devices for measuring human movement. These devices employ acceleration and angular data to obtain limb motion such as velocity...
