Statistical analysis of postural stability during gait for adults between normal and simulated abnormal gaits

Walking is a common but complex daily activity for human. Walking is done when one leg is elevated and moved forward by flexing the hips and knee. Walking involves association of central nervous system, motor and sensory system. It has been previously shown that disrupted neural communication and musculoskeletal constraints may impair postural control and stability during gait and increase fall risk. Previous research have reported that distance between centre of pressure (COP) and centre of mass (COM) are suitable to study postural stability of patients that is affected by HSP disease. There is no research studied about normal and four types of simulated abnormal gaits which include hemiplegic, diplegic, bilaterally asymmetry and hunchback by analysing COP and COM. Fifteen male subjects and fifteen female subjects were involved in this research. Performances of subjects were captured with QTM system and analysed by Visual 3D software. For females, there was a significant difference in normal and hemiplegic gait in AP direction. For males, normal, hemiplegic and bilaterally asymmetry showed significant differences in AP direction while normal and diplegic demonstrated significant difference in ML direction. This finding concluded that COP-COM method can be suggested for clinical research and rehabilitation purpose.

Effect of Arm Swing Direction on Forward and Backward Jump Performance Based on Biomechanical Analysis

Previous studies have examined the role of arm swing for various types of jumping technique, but none have been found to study about the gender differences in term of the role of arm swing on forward and backward jump. This study aimed to compare the jumping performance between male and female for forward and backward jump. Seven male and seven female subjects performed four trials of forward and backward jump with (FJA, BJA) and without arm swing (FJ, BJ) respectively. Qualisys Track Manager System, EEGO Sports, Visual3D and MATLAB software was used to record and analyze the performance. According to the result, the triceps brachii muscle is the most active muscle compared to other muscles during jumping. The normalized vGRF showed significant correlation with jump height when jumping forward and backward (p<0.01). The arm swing enhanced the jumping performance by increasing the jump height. Males demonstrated greater vGRF and jump height than females. When jump with arm swing, the left knee flexion angle of males increased whereas females decreased. These findings concluded there is different between males and females during jumping.

Kinematic analysis of human gait is an effective strategy to detect and assess an individual's gait to diagnose and develop and guide follow-on rehabilitation protocols. So, an accurate, objective gait analysis system has potential to facilitate rehabilitation process. System using smartphone-Kinovea represent an emerging technology for physical activity assessment and that may be relevant for gait analysis. The objective of this study was to determine gait displacement, speed and joint angle by using smartphone-Kinovea software system - to compare the normal gait with four distinct simulated gait abnormalities. Also, to assess validity of the proposed system by compared with QTM as gold standard. 30 participants completed an experiment in which they completed several gait trails on single day. Gait types were analyzed using statistical analysis (two-way MANOVA). As for validation assessment was analyzed using paired t-test by comparing proposed system with QTM. Results shows that joint angles for abnormal gaits are higher mean (Standard Deviation) compared to normal gait during HS and TO. While, normal gait exhibits higher mean (Standard Deviation) for d and s during both IDS and TDS phases compared to other four abnormal gaits in both genders. Also, there are significant different (p<0.05) of gait for all gait comparisons for all parameters, except hip angle of normal-HP with p=0.495. Moreover, there is some gait was similar with other gait due to they shared underlying kinematic aspects such as BA and DP. The validation of the system gives moderate result. These support that the smartphone-Kinovea system have potential in detecting and identifying abnormal gaits, and for future implementation in diagnosis and rehabilitation.
