Abnormalities in gait, an individual’s pattern of walking, can result in pain and motion reduction and are associated with a range of conditions, including neurological and degenerative disease and ...

It’s a Wednesday morning and I’m jogging at a brisk pace on a treadmill – not the kind of place you’ll usually find me, as a lover of wilderness trails on which to get my paces. Blessedly, after just ...

There can be significant differences in kinematics (joint angles) and temporal-spatial gait parameters, such as walking speed, step length, depending on age and sex. Many studies on gait analysis have ...

The analysis of multi-segment foot kinematics offers a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic interactions among the different anatomical components of the foot during gait. Unlike traditional ...

January is often seen as a time for fresh starts, whether that’s learning a new skill or adopting healthier habits. But it can also be an opportunity to build on what you’re already doing. For runners ...

Falling is one of the biggest risks older adults face. As you age, your body doesn’t move the way it used to. You might lose strength, your vision may fade, and your balance becomes harder to maintain ...

In people with gait disabilities (i.e., a pattern of walking—or gait—that is not normal), assessing gait speed, stride length, and joint kinematics are essential. Measurement of gait parameters over a ...

Not only can gait analysis produce false positives, but one study also pegged its accuracy at just 71 percent, according to a paper published with The Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences in 2019.

The progression of a range cognitive conditions is often associated with a deterioration in motor control, and recently we’re seeing how the finer details of this physical decline can help us tell one ...
