Background Gait measures such as gait speed, stride length, step width, and stance duration change with advanced age and are associated with adverse health outcomes among older adults. The stride-to-stride variabilities of gait measures are also related to falls and cognitive decline in older adults; however, reference values of these gait parameters in older Japanese adults do not exist. This study aimed to determine the reference values of gait parameters as measured by a plantar pressure platform in community-dwelling older Japanese adults. Methods Community-dwelling adults (N=1,212) who were independent in basic activities of daily living and aged 70–96 years (491 men, 721 women) completed the gait performance measurement in a geriatric health assessment. We assessed 10 gait performance measures with a plantar pressure platform system (P-WALK, BTS Bioengineering) and calculated means and coefficient of variations (CVs) of the gait measures as well as quintiles for those gait parameters per age group among men and women. Results Mean (SDs) of gait speed, stride length, step width, and stance durations were 1.26 (0.24) meters per second (m/s), 121.9 (19.8) cm, 24.0 (3.2) cm, and 552.4 (60.4) milliseconds (ms), respectively, in men, and 1.27 (0.21) m/s, 115.7 (16.3) cm, 17.9 (2.8) cm, and 517.6 (59.8) ms, respectively, in women. Mean of CVs (SD) of stride length, step width, and single-stance duration were 2.76 (1.35), 12.06 (3.98), and 5.74 (2.66), respectively, in men and 2.69 (1.24), 15.65 (4.53), and 5.77 (2.40), respectively, in women. Gait parameters (except CVs of step width) declined significantly with age regardless of gender ( P < 0.01 for trends). Conclusion This study determined age group dependent gait parameter reference values, presented as means with quintile ranges, in community-dwelling older Japanese adults. These reference values may be useful metrics for gait assessment in the elderly.

“…As indicated, in addition to the medical interview for data collection, VAS was used to determine pain level, and baropodographies (N/cm 2 ) were used to determine the different pressures exerted by the foot, using the NOVEL-EMED-Model AT ® device. As a gait analysis system, the Win-Track device (Medicapteurs, France-USA) 9 ) was used.…”

Objective:to evaluate the application of a noninvasive intervention consisting of a postural modification using personalized models and osteopathy in people with occipital neuralgia. Method:retrospective study of the intervention performed in adult population with occipital neuralgia, consisting of postural modification using personalized plantar orthoses and osteopathy, in a study period of four years. The observed variables were: persistence of headache, alignment of the axes, plantar support, center of gravity and center of mass; medical interview data, visual analogue scale, Win-Track gait analysis system and Kinovea software for video analysis (clinical assessment instruments used). Results:a total of 34 records of people with occipital neuralgia were studied. A fraction of 58.8% of the patients reported improvement after the intervention. The visual analogue scale data were provided for 64.7% of the records and significant differences (p <0.001) between the means before (8.4 ± 1.7) and after the intervention (2.6 ± 2.7) were found. Conclusion:postural modification using personalized orthoses and osteopathy substantially improves the symptomatology of patients with occipital neuralgia.

Background: Patients with subacute ankle sprain demonstrate pain with movement, significantly reduced range of motion of ankle joint and change in dynamic gait parameters. Objective: To determine the difference between the effectiveness of muscle energy technique (MET) and contract relax with mulligan's mobilization with movement (MWM) technique in the treatment of subacute stage of lateral ankle sprain. Methods: Forty patients (mean age=22.80±2.55 years, male: female 60%: 40%) were randomly allocated into two groups. Group A was treated with MET and mulligan's MWM technique, group B received contract relax and mulligan's MWM technique for 4 weeks (3 days per week). Results: Analysis with paired t test revealed significant reduction (p<0.05) in pain and significant improvement in range of motion of ankle joint and some gait variables within the group for both groups. However independent t test for comparing the pre, post and improvement from pre to post data between group A and group B showed no statistical significant difference (p>0.05). Conclusion: This study concluded that both MET and contract relax with mulligan's MWM are equally effective techniques to reduce pain, increase ankle ROM, and dynamic gait variables in subacute stage of lateral ankle sprain.
