Interventions to improve walking in older adults have historically been multifactorial (ie,
strengthening, endurance and flexibility programs) focusing on improving the underlying …

A large proportion of stroke survivors have to deal with problems in mobility. Proper
evaluations must be undertaken to understand the sensorimotor impairments underlying …

This study tested whether the lower economy of walking in healthy elderly subjects is due to
greater gait instability. We compared the energy cost of walking and gait instability …

The energy cost of walking (C) in nine chronic hemiparetic patients was calculated by
measuring the total mechanical work (Wtot) done by the muscles and the efficiency of this …

Objective: The purpose of the study was to develop a more precise walking scale for use in
clinical trials of subjects with spinal cord injury (SCI) and to determine its validity and …

Study design: Retrospective examination. Objectives: To compare the Walking Index for
Spinal Cord Injury (WISCI) and current scales for their sensitivity to walking changes in …

Purpose Locomotor impairment, such as that which may occur following a stroke, results in
increased energy expenditure during walking. Previous research quantifying this increased …

Aim This study investigates the in vivo function of the medial gastrocnemius and soleus
muscle‐tendon units (MTU), fascicles, and tendons during walking in children with cerebral …

Hesse S, Werner C, Paul T, Bardeleben A, Chaler J. Influence of walking speed on lower
limb muscle activity and energy consumption during treadmill walking of hemiparetic …

Measuring the energy cost of walking (ECW) is a valid way of assessing the walking
efficiency of subjects who were prosthetic users following lower limb amputation. The aim of …
