Motion intention prediction is an essential challenge in improving the efficacy of exoskeleton human-machine interactions. Traditional gait phase detection and motion pattern recognition methods can ...

Ankle-foot Orthoses in Children With Cerebral Palsy A Cross Sectional Population Based Study of 2200 Children Maria Wingstrand; Gunnar Hägglund; Elisabet Rodby-Bousquet Disclosures ...

Most commonly reported measures were the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Scale (n = 257 studies), plain radiographs to measure ankle alignment (n = 211), numerical rating ...

The short arm goniometer is used for smaller joints such as the wrist, elbow, or ankle, while the long arm goniometer is used for joints with long levers such as the knee and hip joints. Twin Axis ...

Furthermore, we investigated the MCSA of IG in the lateral head of the gastrocnemius (LG) using sonography. Additionally, ROM in the upper ankle was investigated via the functional “knee to wall ...

Tibial torsion measurements were obtained using goniometry and three-dimensional kinematics based on the Plug-in Gait model. Afterwards, both procedures were compared, and the impact of each result ...

Further investigation on the normalized ankle stiffness, scaled by weight times height, suggests that while sex differences in ankle stiffness in the sagittal plane could be explained by sex ...

The faulty technology behind ankle monitors Some consider electronic monitoring an alternative to mass incarceration. But ankle monitors have a long way to go.

This paper presents a novel design of a passive electro-goniometer for the kinematic measurement of human ankle joint. The device is a serial mechanical linkage having six degrees of freedom, all of ...
