Effect of 3D printed foot orthoses stiffness and design on foot kinematics and plantar pressures in healthy people
(Elsevier, 2020-08-14)Background Foot orthoses (FOs) have been widely prescribed to alter various lower limb disorders. FOs’ geometrical design and material properties have been shown to influence their impact on foot biomechanics. New technologies such as 3D printing ... -
The impact of outdoor walking surfaces on lower-limb coordination and variability during gait in healthy adults
(Elsevier, 2021-09-20)Background Inter-joint coordination and variability during gait provide insight into control and adaptability of the neuromuscular system. To date, coordination research has been restricted to laboratory settings, and it is unclear how these findings ... -
Lower-limb coordination and variability during gait : the effects of age and walking surface
(Elsevier, 2021-02-16)Background Falls among community-dwelling older adults are often triggered by uneven walkways. Joint coordination and its variability change with age and may place older adults at risk of falling. It is unclear how irregular surfaces impact lower-limb ... -
Muscle co-contraction and co-activation in cerebral palsy during gait : a scoping review
(Elsevier, 2023-07-09)Background Cerebral palsy (CP) results from an injury to a developing brain. Muscle activation patterns during walking are disrupted in individuals with CP. Indeed, excessive muscle co-contraction or co-activation (MCo/MCa) is one of the characteristics ... -
Slow and faster post-stroke walkers have a different trunk progression and braking impulse during gait
(Elsevier, 2018-12-26)Background Braking forces absorbed by the leading paretic limb are greater than expected with regard to gait speed and not correlated with propulsive forces generated by the non-paretic limb in individuals with severe hemiparesis. Altered foot placement ...
