Electrocardiogram (ECG) represents, with the electroencephalogram (EEG), the principal bio-vital signals, providing information on the human physical condition. Although surface electromyogram (sEMG) is not classified as bio-vital, it is frequently used to integrate and increase information obtained from ECG and EEG, making these three signals the main electric-biological signals. The sEMG is widely...
As a part of on-going research gait studies among children, this paper presents a preliminary study on kinematic parameters of walking gait among children. In this study, angles of hip, knee, ankle and pelvic will be collected at Human Motion and Gait Analysis Laboratory, UiTM Shah Alam. There are 16 healthy children consists of 10 boys and 6 girls aged between 6 to 12 years old participated in this...
Crouch gait, one of the most common gait pathologies among cerebral palsy (CP) is characterized by excessive knee flexion during stance phase that worsens over time and decreasing walking efficiency. CP patients in jump-knee gait have similar features to the individuals in crouch gait but exhibit a normal knee moment during midstance. Oxygen cost is the most reliable oxygen expenditure measurement...
The current study introduces a novel rehabilitation robot for treatment of impaired ankle in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The treatment consisted of passive stretching under intelligent control and active movement training with motivating game-playing using the portable robot. After 18 sessions of training (3 sessions/week for 6 weeks), we found significant improvement in 12 children with CP...
Objective: The study obtains gait feature of children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) by analysis of temporal and spatial parameters in stable walking and gait initiation (GI). Method: 24 children with SCP and 18 normally-developing (ND) children were tested by three-dimensional gait analysis system with normal walking speed. Velocity, duration, single support phase (SSP), double support phase (DSP),...
Idiopathic toe walkers are children whose heels do not touch the ground during walking, but who do not have any neurological deficit to explain this. The stretch reflexes for these children are normal, so that the toe walking appears to be voluntary. These children often suffer social problems. Many of these children who are not treated and some during treatment, are likely to develop a dasiaBouncy...
A description is given of a simple, inexpensive, and yet functionally significant system that can analyze the distribution of pressure under the sole of the foot and can be used in clinical practice. The device has proved to be useful and helpful in planning and assuming a number of orthopedic procedures, analyzing the results of corrective procedures carried out on children suffering from paralytic...
