Humans walk bipedally, and thus, it is unclear why they swing their arms. In this paper, we
will review the mechanisms and functions of arm swinging in human gait. First, we discuss …

The first years of life represent an important phase of maturation of the central nervous
system, processing of sensory information, posture control and acquisition of the locomotor …

Detailed descriptions of gait impairments have been reported in cerebral palsy (CP), but it is
still unclear how maturation of the spinal motoneuron output is affected. Spatiotemporal …

The robotic-assisted gait training therapy (RAGT), based on intensity and repetition of
movement, presents beneficial effects on recovery and improvement of postural and …

Background: Studies have demonstrated that ambulatory children and adolescents with
cerebral palsy demonstrate atypical gait patterns. Out of numerous gait variables …

Observational research suggests that in children with cerebral palsy, the altered arm swing
is linked to instability during walking. Therefore, the current study investigates whether …

Children with unilateral Cerebral Palsy (CP) have several gait impairments, amongst which
impaired gait stability may be one. We tested whether a newly developed stability measure …

Arm movements during gait in children with cerebral palsy (CP) are altered compared to
typically developing children (TD). We investigated whether these changes in arm …

Background There is growing evidence that arm movements make a substantial and
functionally relevant contribution to dynamic balance. Additional insight of the important role …

This study aimed to investigate gait characteristics reflecting balance and progression in
children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) compared with typically developing (TD) …
