This paper reviews the literature relating to the biofeedback used in physical rehabilitation.
The biofeedback methods used in rehabilitation are based on biomechanical measurements …

Why would it be necessary to alter someone's natural running gait pattern? Running gait
patterns are not self-optimized for each individual. Despite Nigg and colleagues'1 theory of …

BACKGROUND: Tibial stress fractures, which are among the most common running related
injuries, have been associated with increased lower extremity loading (ie, peak positive …

Study Design Single-subject with repeated measures. Objectives To determine if runners
can use real-time visual feedback from an accelerometer to achieve immediate reductions in …

We constructed a force treadmill to measure the vertical, horizontal and lateral components
of the ground-reaction forces (F z, F y, F x, respectively) and the ground-reaction force …

Unilateral lower-limb amputees exhibit asymmetry in many gait features, such as ground
force, step time, step length, and joint mechanics. Although these asymmetries result from …

Daily volume loss of the stump leads to a poor fit of the prosthetic socket. A method of
preventing this volume loss and maintaining a good fit was developed. A vacuum (-78 kPa) …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare vertical ground reaction forces walking
overground with vertical foot-belt forces for treadmill gait. Methods Twenty-four subjects …

Objective. Sensory input in lower-limb amputees is critically important to maintaining
balance, preventing falls, negotiating uneven terrain, responding to unexpected …

Increased vertical impact loading during running has been associated with a variety of
running related injuries including stress fractures, patellofemoral pain and plantar fasciitis …
