Effect of Unilateral Lower-Limb Amputation on Intact Limb Biomechanics: A Systematic Review
… and pain avoidance strategies, asymmetric gait adaptations, atypical forces, and complex trunk movement are biomechanical compensations that contribute to secondary complications of the intact limb. Findings from this systematic review showed that pain avoidance strategies, asymmetric gait …

The Effects of Age on Gait and Functional Movement Characteristics in an Older Adult Population
… is key to successful ageing. Age-related gait adaptations including spatial-temporal parameters, joint kinematics and kinetics have been identified to be a consequence of the ageing process. For example, reduced walking speed and increased pelvic tilt are suggestive of compensation …

Walking patterns of individuals with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder
… This investigation was extended by examining gait adaptations whilst traversing an irregular terrain. Additionally, the effects of visual occlusion of the feet on gait patterns were investigated. Finally all the above manipulations were analysed across age. Thirty-five individuals aged 8-32 …

Effects Of Chemotherapy-Induced-Peripheral-Neuropathy On Spatiotemporal Gait Parameters And Fall Risk In Cancer Patients After The Completion Of Chemotherapy Drug Treatment
… which reportedly causes gait disturbances that may increase their risk for falls. Falls are a significant event because they have been linked to serious injuries and disabilities, loss of independence, and increased mortality rates. <strong>Purpose:</strong> The purpose of …

An Exploratory Study Investigating the Time Duration of Slip-Induced Changes in Gait
… methods. Prior studies have shown changes in gait after slipping, and these changes can reduce the external validity of experimental results. As such, most researchers only slip participants one time. The ability to slip participants more than once, after allowing gait to return to a natural …
