PDF-(READ)-Advanced Technologies for the Rehabilitation of Gait and Balance Disorders (Biosystems

The book provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in the field of gait and balance rehabilitation It describes technologies and devices together with the requirements and factors to be considered during their application in clinical settings The book covers physiological and pathophysiological basis of locomotion and posture control describes integrated approaches for the treatment of neurological diseases and spinal cord injury as well as important principles for designing appropriate clinical studies It presents computer and robotic technologies currently used in rehabilitation such as exoskeleton devices functional electrical stimulation virtual reality and many more highlighting the main advantages and challenges both from the clinical and engineering perspective Written in an easytounderstand style the book is intended for people with different background and expertise including medical and engineering students clinicians and physiotherapists as well as technical developers of rehabilitation systems and their corresponding humancompute interfaces It aims at fostering an increased awareness of available technologies for balance and gait rehabilitation as well as a better communication and collaboration between their users and developers.

STUDY ALTERNATE ADAPTIVE/CORRECTIVE GAITS. Gait is defined as "Series of rhythmic cyclic movements of the limbs in relation to the trunk resulting in forward progression of the body".. 2. GAIT CYCLE. It is defined as "a series of events in which heel of one extremity strikes the ground to the next heel strike of the same extremity".. Dr Alby Maria Mathews. NORMAL GAIT CYCLE.  Single gait cycle or stride is defined:. Period when one foot contacts the ground to when that same foot contacts the ground again. Each stride has 2 phases: . Scales.
