“…Reference data for normal subjects have been collected. Although the obtained selected joint angle curves are in agreement with the literature (Leardini et al, 2007;Collins et al, 2009;Benedetti et al, 1998), caution is recommended when comparing the results among different protocols, especially in the case of non-sagittal planes (Ferrati et al, 2008).…”

“…4) are related to corresponding data derived from similar biomechanical models (Benedetti et al, 1998;Leardini et al, 2007;Collins et al, 2009). The lowest consistency of the range of motion (ROM) is observed for the ankle angle, for which the anatomical frame definition and the marker set differ considerably from other models.…”

“…A recent study evaluated the performance of anatomically based protocols (Manca et al, 2010;Leardini et al, 2007;Ferrati et al, 2008), including those using marker clusters (Collins et al, 2009). However, both those protocols are not fully consistent with the ISB recommendation.…”

International Society of Biomechanics has proposed a general reporting standard for joint kinematics based on anatomical reference frames. Nevertheless, the gait analysis protocols based on this standard are still poorly reported. The purpose of the current study is to propose and preliminarily assess the potential of an anatomically based ISB 6-DOF protocol, which combines the ISB reporting standard together with a marker cluster technique. The proposed technical marker set enables full description of the lower limb kinematics (including three-dimensional ankle-foot complex rotations) according to the current biomechanical recommendation. The marker set provides a clinically acceptable inter-trial repeatability and minimal equipment requirements.

“…Full-body kinematics were collected throughout three consecutive 10 s periods within each condition (8 min into the walk) using retro-reflective markers placed on bony landmarks and according to a modified Cleveland Clinic marker set [19]. Marker positions were collected (120 Hz) using at least an 8-camera motion capture system (Motion Analysis Corporation; Santa Rosa, California, or Vicon; Oxford, United Kingdom).…”

Abstract-The biomechanical responses to load carriage, a common task for dismounted troops, have been well studied in nondisabled individuals. However, with recent shifts in the rehabilitation and retention process of injured servicemembers, there remains a substantial need for understanding these responses in persons with lower-limb amputations. Temporalspatial and kinematic gait parameters were analyzed among 10 male servicemembers with unilateral transtibial amputation (TTA) and 10 uninjured male controls. Participants completed six treadmill walking trials in all combinations of two speeds (1.34 and 1.52 m/s) and three loads (none, 21.8, and 32.7 kg). Persons with TTA exhibited biomechanical compensations to carried loads that are comparable to those observed in uninjured individuals. However, several distinct gait changes appear to be unique to those with TTA, notably, increased dorsiflexion (deformation) of the prosthetic foot/ankle, less stance knee flexion on the prosthetic limb, and altered trunk forward lean/excursion. Such evidence supports the need for future work to assess the risk for overuse injuries with carried loads in this population in addition to guiding the development of adaptive prosthetic feet/components to meet the needs of redeployed servicemembers or veterans/civilians in physically demanding occupations.

“…CMC values range between 0 and 1, with values above 0.8 suggesting a high degree of reproducibility and values approaching zero indicating low reproducibility [38][39]. CMC values were also calculated for the hip joint angular data and for the GRF data for the individuals with TFA.…”

Abstract-A recent development in prosthetics is the osseointegrated fixation (OF), with improvements in comfort, fatigue, hip movement, and ease of prosthetic attachment reported. However, little information is available regarding muscle function. This study reports on selected gait parameters of the residual limb during the stance phase of level overground walking, focusing on muscle activity. Five males with transfemoral amputation (TFA) with OFs were recruited. Ground reaction force (GRF), lower-limb kinematics, and surface electromyography (sEMG) from residual-limb muscles were recorded. sEMG data were also collected from a group of 10 nondisabled male subjects. Interstance variability of gait parameters was assessed by coefficient of multiple correlations. Repeatability of GRF and hip kinematics was high, whereas repeatability of the sEMG was low for four of the five individuals with TFA. Interstance variability of the sEMG for gluteus medius (GMED) was significantly greater in the group with TFA. The main difference in sEMG between the groups was the phase, with GMED and adductor magnus displaying greater differences than their counterparts in the nondisabled group. Results demonstrate that muscles in the residual limb retain aspects of their previous functional pattern.
