A study finds that a combination of slower walking speed and memory decline may indicate a higher risk of dementia. The research suggests that including gait speed in dementia risk screening ...

The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to explore the effect of acupuncture on the cognitive function, gait performance, and hemodynamic changes in the prefrontal cortices. Methods: In ...

Based on the location of pressure changes, we collected data on distance, the duration between two successive steps (step length and step time, respectively), and for each walking cycle (stride length ...

Dr. Daughtry says shoes with rocker bottom soles (meaning they curve upward at the toes and heels, like a rocking chair) can ...

The purpose of this paper was to determine whether gait retraining, using real-time kinematic feedback, improves hip mechanics, pain and function in runners with PFPS. In addition, we were interested ...

We also observed that the turning-based GNI has larger effect size compared to clinical scales, demonstrating that GNI during turning can reflect the changes of functional mobility in rehabilitation ...

Further, MOST includes MRI exams at multiple time points, providing sensitive measures of early joint structural change, including worsening cartilage damage.10 Using MOST data, our objectives were to ...

Gait training exercises are movements designed to help improve strength, balance and coordination when walking. They may be part of a physical therapy program for a person recovering from a stroke, an ...
