Effect of testing procedures on gait speed measurement: a systematic review
AK Stuck, M Bachmann, P Füllemann, KR Josephson… - PloS one, 2020 - journals.plos.org
Background Although gait speed is a widely used measure in older people, testing methods
are highly variable. We conducted a systematic review to investigate the influence of testing …

A narrative review on measurement properties of fixed-distance walk tests up to 40 meters for adults with knee osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a serious disease and has no cure to date. Knee OA is a leading
cause of functional limitation (eg, difficulty walking). Walking speed is 1 method of …

All eyes on you: how researcher presence changes the way you walk
Most human movement research takes place within controlled laboratories where
researchers observe participant movement. Because a majority of daily activity is performed …

Outdoor walking exhibits peak ankle and knee flexion differences compared to fixed and adaptive-speed treadmills in older adults
Background Walking mechanics recorded with a traditional treadmill may not be the same
as the mechanics exhibited during activities of daily living due to constrained walking …

Metabolic cost of transport and stance time asymmetry in individuals with unilateral transtibial amputation using a passive prostheses while walking
Background People with unilateral amputation typically walk with greater metabolic cost
than able-bodied individuals, while preferring asymmetric walking characteristics. It is …

Contractile work of the soleus and biarticular mechanisms of the gastrocnemii muscles increase the net ankle mechanical work at high walking speeds
Simple Summary This study enhances our understanding of how different mechanisms in
the triceps surae muscles contribute to increased mechanical power and work at the ankle …

Are lower back demands reduced by improving gait symmetry in unilateral transtibial amputees?
Background Gait asymmetry and a high incidence of lower back pain are typical for people
with unilateral lower limb amputation. A common therapeutic objective is to improve gait …

Assessment of varus thrust using inertial measurement units
MA Murro, JA Mihy, M Wagatsuma, JF Hafer - Clinical Biomechanics, 2024 - Elsevier
Background Varus thrust is common in those with knee osteoarthritis. Varus thrust is
traditionally identified with visual analysis or motion capture, methods that are either …

Does the 1-year decline in walking speed predict mortality risk beyond current walking speed in adults with knee osteoarthritis?
Objective. To investigate whether walking speed at 1 timepoint, decline over the past 12
months, or both predict mortality risk over 11 years in adults with, or at risk of, knee …
