Gait variability, that is, fluctuations in movement during walking, is an indicator of walking
function and has been associated with various adverse outcomes such as falls. In this paper …

Background Cognitive, sensory, and biomechanical factors may affect gait of older adults.
Among biomechanical factors, reduced pelvis and trunk range of motion (ROM) were …

Background A bone-anchored prosthesis (BAP) eliminates the need for a conventional
socket by attaching a prosthesis directly to the user's skeleton. Currently, limited research …

It is sometimes difficult to obtain uninterrupted data sets that are long enough to perform
nonlinear analysis, especially in pathological populations. It is currently unclear as to how …

Background Long-term favorable clinical outcomes of anatomical or high hip center
techniques in total hip arthroplasty (THA) are reported in patients with developmental …

Treadmills are appealing for gait studies, but some gait mechanics are disrupted during
treadmill walking. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of speed and …

Rationale: Compared with control subjects, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) have an increased incidence of falls and demonstrate balance deficits and …

There is currently no suitable kinematic system for a large-scale prospective trial assessing
risk factors of musculoskeletal disorders. A practical kinematic system is described which …

Introduction Physical inactivity and sedentary behavior both increase the risk of chronic
disease and mortality. Regular participation in physical activity and reducing sedentary …

Objective: Pelvic alignment asymmetry in stroke patients negatively affects postural control
ability. This study aimed to investigate the effect of posterior pelvic tilt taping on pelvic …
