Effect of 3D printed foot orthoses stiffness on muscle activity and plantar pressures in individuals with flexible flatfeet : a statistical non-parametric mapping study
(Elsevier, 2021-12-29)Background The 3D printing technology allows to produce custom shapes and add functionalities to foot orthoses which offers better options for the treatment of flatfeet. This study aimed to assess the effect of 3D printed foot orthoses stiffness and/or ... -
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 ... -
Evaluation of ligament laxity during pregnancy
(Elsevier, 2019-02-20)Objective Pregnancy-related changes in ligament laxity have been shown to be associated with various disorders such as back pain or pelvic floor disorders. The purpose of this study was to assess laxity changes during pregnancy by confronting different ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
