The three-dimensional motion analysis system as an useful tool in evaluation of gait disorders in Parkinson’s disease patients treated with DBS STN

The kinematic and kinetic differences between two styles of stair climbing, namely regular stair climbing (RSC) and lateral stair climbing (LSC), was studied. A four-step wooden stair instrumented with two force plates was used as the action platform. The kinematic and kinetic recordings were collected using a 6-camera, 2-force plate commercial three-dimensional motion analysis system. The LSC activity was subdivided into LSCL activity, where the right leg was the leading leg, and LSCT.

Amputee Gait

The ability to objectively measure an amputee's walking activity over prolonged periods can provide clinicians with a useful means of evaluating their patients' outcomes. The present study aimed to validate the temporospatial data output from a commercially available ambulatory activity monitor (PAM, Össur) fitted to trans-tibial and trans-femoral amputees, against data that was simultaneously captured from a three dimensional motion analysis system (Qualisys Medical AB, Gothenburg, Sweden). Results indicate that the PAM monitor provides accurate measures of temporospatial aspects of amputee gait for walking speeds above 0.75 m/s.

Coordination Patterns

ABSTRACT:The purpose of this experiment was to quantify and analyse multijoint coordination of patients with Parkinson’s disease (N=5) and control subjects (N=5) during forward and backward stepping motions executed at different cadences. Coordinates of reflective markers placed on the shoulder, hip, knee, ankle and metatarsal joints were recorded in the sagittal plane using a video motion analysis system. Kinematic and kinetic analyses provided angular displacements and velocities as well as joint moments of force and powers. Results suggest the presence of two types of discoordination: one type is velocity-dependent, hence related to bradykinesia, whereas the other type appears to reflect qualitatively different coordination patterns.
