Emiliano Pablo Ravera, Adam Rozumalski Gait & Posture Introduction: Spasticity in children with cerebral palsy (CP) can produce an increase in muscle activity with unknown consequences in muscle energy expenditure. Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is shown to significantly reduce spasticity. However, Zaino et al. (2020) showed that changes in energy consumption following SDR are not […]

Emiliano Pablo Ravera and Adam Rozumalski Gait & Posture Introduction: Spasticity in children with cerebral palsy (CP) can produce an increase in muscle activity with unknown consequences in muscle energy expenditure. Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is shown to significantly reduce spasticity [Chen2019]. However, Zaino et al. (2020) showed that changes in energy consumption following SDR

Emiliano Pablo Ravera, Marcos José Crespo, Adam Rozumalski Journal of Biomechanics Abstract Children with pathological movement patterns like crouch gait present with excessive knee and hip flexion during stance phase due to multiple factors. A good treatment requires that the primary factor is reduced or eliminated to optimise the relationship between muscle energy expenditure and

Emiliano Pablo Ravera, Victoria Peterson Journal of Biomechanics Abstract The symmetrical center of rotation estimation (SCoRE) is probably one of the most used functional method for estimating the hip join center (HJC). However, it requires of complex multi-plane movements to find accurate estimations of HJC. Thus, using SCoRE for people with limited hip range of motion will

C. M. Lara-Barrios; P. Catalfamo Formento; E. Muñoz Larrosa; A. Blanco-Ortega IEEE Xplore Abstract Active lower limb assistive devices are intended to contribute to human movement activities such as locomotion.While some devices are capableto function among a variety of terrains (i.e. level surfaces, inclines, or stairs), wideinstrumentation sets (combining mechanical and bio-signal data) have been usually

Mauricio Riveras; Emiliano Ravera; David Ewins; Aliah F. Shaheen; Paola Catalfamo Formento Gait and Posture Abstract Background: Minimum Toe Clearance (MTC) is defined as the minimum vertical distance between the lowestpoint under the front part of the foot and the ground, during mid-swing. Low values of MTC and walking oninclines are both related to higher

M. Riveras; E. Ravera; A. F. Shaheen; D. Ewins; P. Catalfamo Formento Journal of Mechanical Science and Technology Abstract This study aimed at evaluating spatiotemporal parameters (STP) and symmetry index (SI), commonly used for evaluating amputee gait for routine clinical use, in individuals with unilateral transtibial amputations wearing energy storage and return (ESAR) feet with
