Abstract des Autors
Gait rehabilitation following lower limb trauma often involves the use of a walking frame. A simple kinematic model, developed to predict joint motion during gait with such frames, suggests consistent, environmentally determined patterns of hip and knee motion which differ substantially from those seen in free gait. The model has been validated using videoanalysis of a sample of ten healthy subjects. Significantly, the hip joint motion is markedly abnormal using a walking frame; since this joint may be the target of the rehabilitation, the use of a frame may be determined in gait retraining.
