A Novel Algorithm For Creating Useful Hip Joint Center Location Estimates From Gait Motion, James Soutelle
A Novel Algorithm For Creating Useful Hip Joint Center Location Estimates From Gait Motion, James Soutelle
Open Access Theses
This document contains the results of an experiment conducted in the Biomechanics Research Laboratory at the University of Miami. A novel two sided hip joint center location algorithm was created and tested. The Vicon motion capture system located in the Biomechanics lab assisted in the testing of the algorithm. Both hip joint centers were successfully located during multiple gait trials. The hip location results were compared to the conventional predictive hip joint center techniques. A validation trial was also conducted. More validation testing is need to confirm the applicability of this hip joint center location technique.
The Effect Of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation On Gait In Young Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy, Anqi Jiang
The Effect Of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation On Gait In Young Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy, Anqi Jiang
Open Access Theses
The purpose of this study was to examine the immediate effect of rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) on gait in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Moreover, the study aimed to investigate the consistency of the immediate effect of RAS on gait in children with spastic CP. Eleven children (5-12 years old) with spastic CP participated in the study, and data from nine participants were included in the analysis. Each child participated in one individual session per week for three weeks. In each session, participants performed four walks. In Walk 1, participants walked without rhythmic cueing at a comfortable speed. In …
