Background: Dravet Syndrome (DS), Helsmoortel-Van Der Aa Syndrome (HVDAS) and Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC)are rare genetic syndromes, sharing intellectual disability (ID) and motor delay. In DS, two distinct gait patterns, crouch and non-crouch, have been described using instrumented 3D gait analysis (i3DGA). This cross-sectional study measures gait in participants with TSC and HVDAS. The findings are compared to the known crouch and ...

With the rise of biofeedback in gait training in cerebral palsy there is a need for real-time measurements of gait kinematics. The Human Body Model (HBM) is a recently developed model, optimized for the real-time computing of kinematics. This study evaluated differences between HBM and two commonly used models for clinical gait analysis: the Newington Model, also known as Plug-in-Gait (PiG), and the calibrated anatomical system technique (CAST). ...

Objective A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed following PRISMA 2020 guidelines to identify the difference in gait pattern between adults with obesity and adults with a normal bodyweight assessed with 3D-4D gait analysis (3D-4DGA) devices. Methods Articles about the spatiotemporal parameters of adults with obesity compared with adults with a normal bodyweight using a 3DGA were sought on the 4th of October 2023 in three different ...

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between gait analysis measures associated with crouch gait, functional health status and daily activity in ambulant cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS: Three-dimensional gait analysis was carried out on 35 ambulant participants with bilateral CP crouch gait (knee flexion at mid-stance (KFMS) ⩾ 190). KFMS, knee-flexion at initial contact, gait speed and step-lengths were extracted for ...

% !TeX root = ../../thesis.tex Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting an estimated 6 million people worldwide. PD causes degeneration of dopamine-generating neurons, which leads to progressively worsening gait impairments. One of the most debilitating gait impairments is freezing of gait (FOG). FOG is common in PD and is defined as a 'brief, episodic absence or marked reduction of forwarding progression of the ...

Background: Recent studies associated gait patterns with cognitive impairment stages. The current study examined the relation between dementia type and spatiotemporal gait characteristics under different walking conditions in pre and mild neurocognitive disorder stage. Methods: Community-dwelling older adults (age 50+) with memory complaints consulting a memory clinic underwent, at baseline and during follow-up (every 4 months), a standard ...

BACKGROUND: Clinical gait analysis (CGA) is a systematic approach to comprehensively evaluate gait patterns, quantify impairments, plan targeted interventions, and evaluate the impact of interventions. However, international standards for CGA are currently lacking, resulting in various national initiatives. Standards are important to ensure safe and effective healthcare practices and to enable evidence-based clinical decision-making, ...

Some gait characteristics of individuals with minimally impaired Multiple Sclerosis (MS) were calculated quantitatively by means of gait frequencies, and described qualitatively by means of clinical observation, focusing on gait analysis.

Purpose:To investigate the reliability of 3D-accelerometry based gait analysis, and its correlates with clinical status and fall-risk.

Methods: Forty elderly presenting increased fall-risk (OFR), 41 old controls (OC) and 40 young controls (aged 80.6±5.4, 79.1±4.9 and 21.6±1.4 years respectively) underwent 3 gait evaluations (2 assessors in random order) each containing 2 walks of 18m with a DynaPort MiniMod accelerometer on the ...
