The body's response to the valgus thrust at the knee is a net knee adductor moment (Figure 13). Joint kinetic data, specifically the net knee coronal plane moment in stance, would substantiate the ...

Mahmoud Seifallahi (seated) and Behnaz Ghoraani, Ph.D., reviewing the performance of straight walking using a depth camera, which can detect and track 25 joints of body movement. A first-of-its-kind ...

A first-of-its-kind study suggests that to detect subtle gait impairments in older adults that often are prevalent in the early stages of cognitive decline, "throw them a curve." Gait analysis, ...

Researchers have discovered that the manner of walking, or gait, of Japanese children develops differently from that of children in other countries. Gait is a complex, unconscious motor pattern, ...

Rotational abnormalities are a common problem in many neuromuscular disorders, such as cerebral palsy and myelomeningocele. Torsional bony deformities, identified during the clinical examination, may ...

Gait impairments often are prevalent in the early stages of cognitive decline. Researchers quantitatively compared straight walking and curved walking -- a more natural yet complex activity -- in ...
