“…Increasing speed-dependent variability was also reported in a previous study investigating RT3 accelerometer output derived from a treadmill compared with level-ground walking [33]. This variability and wide limits of agreement between the surfaces could be due to kinematic differences known to exist at the hip and pelvis when comparing gait on these two surfaces [30][31]. However, more recent research found little difference in angular kinematics and vertical ground reaction forces between level-ground and treadmill walking [31,40].…”

“…This variability and wide limits of agreement between the surfaces could be due to kinematic differences known to exist at the hip and pelvis when comparing gait on these two surfaces [30][31]. However, more recent research found little difference in angular kinematics and vertical ground reaction forces between level-ground and treadmill walking [31,40]. The finding that there were only small changes in the variability of the data from days 1 to 2 is supported by kinematic research, which showed excellent repeatability between test days for three-dimensional joint kinematics at the hip and pelvis within a normal population [41].…”

“…Treadmill walking has been shown to be kinematically different from walking on the ground [30][31], and previous research found a significant difference in output between ground and treadmill walking using a uniaxial accelerometer [32]. However, not only does uniaxial output differ from that of a vector-summated triaxial accelerometer, but output differences also exist from the same accelerometer when comparing surfaces that have been linked to testing speed, epoch length, and step frequency [17].…”

Abstract-This study examined differences in accelerometer output when subjects walked on level ground and on a treadmill. We asked 25 nondisabled participants to wear an RT3 triaxial accelerometer (StayHealthy, Inc; Monrovia, California) and walk at their "normal" and "brisk" walking speeds for 10 minutes. These activities were repeated on a treadmill using the individual speeds from level-ground walking on two occasions 1 week apart. Paired t-tests found a difference in RT3 accelerometer vector magnitude (VM) counts/min between the two walking speeds on both surfaces on days 1 and 2 (p < 0.001). Although we found no significant differences between VM counts/min on the two surfaces at normal and brisk speeds on days 1 and 2 (p > 0.05), we found wide limits of agreement between level ground and treadmill walking at both speeds. Measurement and discrimination of walking intensity employing RT3 accelerometer VM counts/min on the treadmill demonstrated reasonable validity and stability over two time points compared with level-ground walking.

“…A further comparison with other species requires accepting that treadmill locomotion parallels unrestrained locomotion, an idea that is already supported by data on mammals (Fischer, 1999;Herbin, et al, 2007;Matsas et al, 2000;Riley et al, 2007). Furthermore, in ostriches, only marginal differences occur by means of a slight variation in swing duration (Rubenson et al, 2004;Rubenson et al, 2007).…”

SUMMARYAnalyses of how intralimb coordination during locomotion varies within and across different taxa are necessary for understanding the morphological and neurological basis for locomotion in general. Previous findings suggest that intralimb proportions are the major source of kinematic variation that governs intralimb coordination across taxa. Also, independence of kinematics from habitat preference and phylogenetic position has been suggested for mammals. This leads to the hypothesis that among equally sized bird species exhibiting equal limb proportions, similar kinematics can be observed. To test this hypothesis, the bipedal locomotion of two distantly related ground-dwelling bird species (Eudromia elegans and Coturnix coturnix) and of a less terrestrial species (Corvus monedula) was investigated by means of a biplanar high-speed X-ray videographic analysis. Birds exhibited similar intralimb proportions and were filmed over a broad range of speed while moving on a treadmill. Joint and limb element angles, as well as pelvic rotations, were quantified. Regarding fore-aft motions of the limb joints and elements, a congruent pattern of intralimb coordination was observed among all experimental species. The sample of species suggests that this is largely independent of their habitat preference and systematic position and seems to be related to demands for coping with an irregular terrain with a minimum of necessary control. Hence, the initial hypothesis was confirmed. However, this congruence is not found when looking at medio-lateral limb motions and pelvic rotations, showing distinct differences between grounddwellers (e.g. largely restricted to a parasagittal plane) and C. monedula (e.g. increased mobility of the hip joint).

“…It is therefore necessary to develop a constant gait speed in order to avoid a bias. Several studies [15][16][17][18] concluded that the recorded parameters during gait on the treadmill were similar to those of gait on the ground. The Vicon® optoelectonic system was used to measure gait kinematics and spatiotemporal data.…”

Abstract. The corset support is a device classified as orthosis. It compensates a functional deficiency with means of protection, recovery, correction, maintenance, and support or contention. There are two types of orthosis 1) rest orthosis and 2) corrective orthosis. Rest orthosis maintains joints in a defined position to avoid deformities or to relieve a pain at joints. Corrective orthosis adjusts joint deformity either passively or actively. Corset is used in various pathological use, thoracic-lumbar fracture, scoliosis, Scheuermann's disease or spinal dystrophy. The purpose of this study was 1) to determine the immediate impact of wearing a semi-rigid thoracolumbar corset, the Lombax® Dorso on gait kinematics and 2) spatiotemporal parameters in 6 adults. These parameters were recorded using the optoelectronic system Vicon® on treadmill gait subjects with and without corset for the comparison. The results showed that wearing a corset significantly decrease the rotation amplitudes of the scapular and pelvic girdles (p<0.05) in the frontal plane. The movement of the pelvis and hip in this same plane was decreased also when comparing with and without a corset effects (p<0.05). The corset significantly increased the range of flexion-extension of the hip during the gait cycle. At the conclusion of this study the discriminate parameters of wearing a corset was quantified. The results and in association with manufacturer will help to improve materials for better optimization support. Comparable perspectives and after improvement of materials will aim to experiment with patients on real daily life situation.
