Martín Suárez, María Casablanca, Melisa Frisoli, Pablo Luciano Querubín Pereyra, Juan Grigolatto, Daniel Zapata, Paola Catalfamo Formento 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. Objective. To study […]

Emiliano Pablo Ravera, Adam Rosumalsky Journal of Biomechanics 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

Mauricio Riveras, Matthew Oldfield, Paola Catalfamo-Formento Abstract Subjects with unilateral transtibial amputation exhibit altered minimum toe clearance (MTC) depending on the ankle prosthesis used. It has been suggested that a limited prosthetic ankle angle could be the cause of the change. The aim of this study was to investigate the alterations in kinematics in the joints

Eugenia Soledad Muñoz-Larrosa, Mauricio Riveras, Matthew Oldfield, Aliah F. Shaheen, Gaston Schlotthauer, Paola Catalfamo-Formento Journal of Biomechanics 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

Muñoz-Larrosa, Eugenia Soledad; Garcia-Añino, Eloisa; Schlotthauer, Gaston; Shaheen, Aliah F.; Oldfield, Matthew; Catalfamo-Formento, Paola Publicado: Diciembre, 2024 Abstract Background: Energy Storage and Return (ESAR) prosthetic feet provide improved walking when compared with previous designs. However, it may not mimic the unimpaired smooth and progressive movement of the foot on the floor (foot rollover). Objective: To characterize the temporal

Arletazz M., Dorsch L., Catalfamo-Formento P. Phtsical Therapy in Sport Abstract Objective: The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) is a movement analysis tool proposed to identify the risk of anterior cruciate ligament injuries, very useful for injury prevention. The aim of this study is to review the variants of the LESS, their normative scores and

Eloísa García-Añino, Juan Pedro Alonso & Paola Catalfamo-Formento  Health and Technology 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

Juan F. Restrepo, Mauricio Riveras, Gastón Schlotthauer, Paola Catalfamo Biomedical Signal Processing and Control 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

L. E. Robledo Blasco; B. A. Weiss; S. Ubal; E. P. Ravera y J. Di Paolo Anales AFA Abstract La articulación sinovial de la rodilla puede verse afectada por enfermedades, como artritis o artrosis, siendo generalmente el reemplazo de rodilla la solución clínica seleccionada en casos irreversibles. Este trabajo se orienta a investigar el mecanismo

R. L. Gutiérrez Candia; C. E. Bonell; M. Riveras; P. A. Catalfamo Formento Advances in Bioengineering and Clinical Engineering Abstract The evaluation of the joint angle is necessary for the evaluation of the general condition of a joint and to any motor dysfunction or limitation. The measurements taken with a conventional goniometer rely on the training
