METHODS: Fifty-fivepatients with painful hip injuries (30 males) performed isometric peak strength tests of the abductors, extensors, and internal and external rotators of the hips wit...
Prediction of 3D ground reaction forces during gait based on accelerometer data
Leporace,Gustavo; Batista,Luiz Alberto; Nadal,JurandirAbstract Introduction The aim of this study was to predict 3D ground reaction force signals based on accelerometer data during gait, using a feed-forward neural network (MLP). Methods Seventeen healthy subjects were instructed to walk at a self-selected speed with a 3D accelerometer attached to the distal and anterior part of the shank. A force plate was embedded into the middle of the walkway. MLP neural netwo...

Motor coordination during gait after anterior cruciate ligament injury: a syste...
Leporace,Gustavo; Metsavaht,Leonardo; Oliveira,Liszt Palmeira de; Nadal,Jurandir; Batista,Luiz AlbertoTo investigate the state of art about motor coordination during gait in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Searches were carried out, limited from 1980 to 2010, in various databases with keywords related to motor coordination, gait and ACL injury. From the analysis of titles and applying the inclusion/exclusion criteria 24 studies were initially selected and, after reading the abstract, eigh...

Qual o melhor questionário para avaliar os aspectos físicos de pacientes com os...
Metsavaht,Leonardo; Leporace,Gustavo; Sposito,Maria Matilde de Mello; Riberto,Marcelo; Batista,Luiz AlbertoOBJETIVO: Mensurar a validade e a confiabilidade dos questionários WOMAC, IKDC, Lysholm em pacientes com osteoartrite no joelho e determinar a influência da idade no escore destes. MÉTODO: Cinquenta e sete pacientes com diagnóstico de OA primária de joelho completaram os questionários SF-36, WOMAC, Lysholm e IKDC. A validade foi testada mensurando a correlação (coeficiente de correlação de Pearson, "r") entre o...
