A review of the gait study of below-knee amputees
… For example, they normally exhibit non-symmetric gait patterns, slower self-selected walking speeds, and higher gait metabolic rates compared to intact individuals. The objective of this project is to obtain both qualitative and quantitative understanding on the gait of below-knee amputee through …

Gait Coordination: Controlling Footwear and Lower Limb Dimensions in Clinical Gait Study
… dissertation investigate the relation between gait coordination and footwear and lower limb dimensions. The studies in this dissertation are united by two motivations: 1) improve the rigor of clinical gait study that estimates gait coordination of patients, and 2) bridge the knowledge gap …

Rhythmic Haptic Cueing for Gait Rehabilitation of Hemiparetic Stroke and Brain Injury Survivors
This thesis explores the gait rehabilitation of hemiparetic stroke and brain injury survivors by a process of haptic entrainment to rhythmic cues. Entrainment to auditory metronomes is known to improve gait; this thesis presents the first systematic study of entrainment for gait rehabilitation via …

Kinematics of developmental coordination disorder : motor control of functional movement skills
… of children with DCD (Chapter 2). In a second study, the spatio- temporal control and the body kinematics of children with DCD during walking is investigated and compared to that of typically developing children (Chapter 3). The study described into Chapter 4 builds on the knowledge of the …

Comparing Gait Between Outdoors and Inside a Laboratory
Gait biomechanics have been studied extensively. Many existing studies, though, have been performed in a controlled laboratory setting, and assumed that measures obtained are representative of gait in a naturalistic environment (e.g., outdoors). Several environmental and psychological factors may …

Fall Risk Assessment By Measuring Determinants Of Gait
… in need of fall interventions. Therefore, this study was motivated by a need to provide a cogent fall risk assessment strategy that may be conducive to various wireless platforms. It aimed at developing a fall risk assessment method for evaluating individuals' fall risk by providing diagnostic …
