Effect of low dose robotic-gait training on walking capacity in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy
(Elsevier, 2020-10-01)Objective Robotic gait training presents a promising training modality. Nevertheless, evidence supporting the efficacy of such therapy in children with cerebral palsy remains insufficient. This study aimed to assess the effect of robotic gait training ... -
Intra- and inter-tester reliability of spasticity assessment in standing position in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy using a paediatric exoskeleton
(Taylor and Francis, 2019-08-01)Background The L-STIFF tool of the Lokomat evaluates the hip and knee flexors and extensors spasticity in a standing position. It moves the lower limb at a controlled velocity, measuring joint resistance to passive movements. Since its reliability in ... -
Lower limb extension is improved in fast walking condition in children who walk in crouch gait
(Taylor and Francis, 2018-09-28)Background and purpose: The strategies for walking fast have never been reported in children with cerebral palsy who walk in crouch gait. This study aimed to assess to what extent children who walk in crouch gait are able to increase their gait speed ... -
Plantar pressure analysis : identifying risk of foot and ankle injury in soccer players
(Wiley, 2021-04-26)The aim of this study was to determine whether risk factors for foot or ankle injuries could be identified using quantitative foot measurements. Male and female soccer players of all levels from 9 to 40 years old were included in this cross-sectional ... -
Reliability of maximum isometric hip and knee torque measurements in children with cerebral palsy using a paediatric exoskeleton – Lokomat
(Elsevier, 2018-12-23)Background The Lokomat (by L-Force tool) allows the measurement of the maximum voluntary isometric torque (MVIT) at the knee and hip joints in a standing position, as close as possible to the posture adopted during walking. However, the reliability ...
