Smartphone Use Affects Spatio-TemporalGait Parameters but Not Gait Symmetry inYoung Adults Walking Outdoors

Martín Suárez, María Casablanca, Melisa Frisoli, Pablo Luciano Querubín Pereyra, Juan Grigolatto, Daniel Zapata, Paola Catalfamo Formento Publicado: Junio, 2025 Abstract Introduction. Smartphones have become essential tools in daily life. Research has shown that some spatio-temporal parameters of gait are affected when using smartphones. However, most of the research has been conducted indoors, in controlled environments. […]

Understanding Muscle Energy Expenditure VariationsFollowing Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy whileMaintaining Consistent Energy Consumption

Emiliano Pablo Ravera, Adam Rosumalsky Publicado: Febrero, 2025 Abstract Increased energy demands during walking is a recurrent issue for children with cerebral palsy (CP). Given the high incidence of spasticity in these children, several authors have analyzed the impact of selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) on energy consumption during walking, typically showing minimal changes post-SDR. To

Gait event detection accuracy: Effects of amputee gait pattern, terrain and algorithm

Eugenia Soledad Muñoz-Larrosa, Mauricio Riveras, Matthew Oldfield, Aliah F. Shaheen, Gaston Schlotthauer, Paola Catalfamo-Formento Publicado: Diciembre, 2024 Abstract Several kinematic-based algorithms have shown accuracy for gait event detection in unimpaired and pathological gait. However, their validation in subjects with lower limb amputation while walking on different terrains is still limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of three kinematic-based algorithms: Coordinate-Based Algorithm

Mutual information between joint angles and toe height in healthy subjects

Juan F. Restrepo, Mauricio Riveras, Gastón Schlotthauer, Paola Catalfamo Abstract Understanding the relationship between the position of the foot and the lower limb joint angles during normal gait is critical for the identification of the mechanisms involved in pathological gait. In this article, we introduce a novel framework that characterizes this relationship using mutual information in healthy subjects. The nonlinear connection between these variables is quantified using mutual

Biomedical engineering point of view on the implementation of rehabilitation technology: a qualitative study

Eloísa García-Añino, Juan Pedro Alonso & Paola Catalfamo-Formento Abstract Purpose: There is a gap between the development of technological innovations for rehabilitation settings and the long-term adoption of the innovations in the settings. The purpose then is to study the developer´s perspectives on barriers and facilitators to the implementation of technological innovations for rehabilitation in
