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

Emiliano Pablo Ravera, Adam Rozumalsky Publicado: Febrero, 2024 Abstract The authors regret that incorrect effect sizes from the statistical analysis were published in Table 1 of their study Ravera and Rozumalski (2024). The errors outlined below were due to the overwriting of variables in the Python script. These errors only affected the results of the

Melisa Frisoli, Sofía Poux, Melisa Deris, Paola Catalfamo Formento and Eloísa García Añino Advances in Bioengineering and Clinical Engineering Abstract The development of Human Gait Analysis since its origins has been primarily carried out in research laboratories. Currently there is a wide interest in implementing this kind of tools in the clinical setting, for which it

Emilio Pablo Ravera, Adam Rozumalsky Publicado: Junio, 2024 Abstract ​Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is commonly used to permanently reduce spas​ticity in children with cerebral palsy (CP). However, studies have yielded varying​ results regarding muscle strength and activity after SDR. Some studies indicate​ weakness or no changes, while a recent study using NMSK simulations demonstrates improvements in muscle
