Toe clearance variability during walking in young and elderly men
PM Mills, RS Barrett, S Morrison - Gait & posture, 2008 - Elsevier
Falls during walking are a major cause of injury and death in the elderly. From a falls
perspective, a critical gait event is minimum toe clearance (MTC), as failure to achieve foot …

A comparative study on approximate entropy measure and poincaré plot indexes of minimum foot clearance variability in the elderly during walking
Background Trip-related falls which is a major problem in the elderly population, might be
linked to declines in the balance control function due to ageing. Minimum foot clearance …

Understanding ageing effects using complexity analysis of foot–ground clearance during walking
Ageing influences gait patterns which in turn can affect the balance control of human
locomotion. Entropy-based regularity and complexity measures have been highly effective in …

Towards the importance of minimum toe clearance in level ground walking in a healthy elderly population
Tripping is presumed to be the principal cause for falls during walking. At minimum toe
clearance, the potential for trip-related falls is considered to be highest. Thus, controlling …

Are there differences in the dual-task walking variability of minimum toe clearance in chronic low back pain patients and healthy controls?
The control of minimum toe clearance (MTC, as quantified with its stride-to-stride variability
during walking) is a promising marker to evaluate motor control. The control of MTC …

Non-MTC gait cycles: An adaptive toe trajectory control strategy in older adults
Abstract Minimum-toe-clearance (MTC) above the walking surface is a critical representation
of toe-trajectory control due to its association with tripping risk. Not all gait cycles exhibit a …
