Gait analysis in children with cerebral palsy: are plantar pressure insoles a r...
Raposo, Maria Raquel; Ricardo, Diogo; Teles, Júlia; Veloso, António Prieto; João, FilipaCerebral palsy (CP) is a common cause of motor disability, and pedobarography is a useful, non-invasive, portable, and accessible tool; it is easy to use in a clinical setting; and can provide plenty of information about a foot–soil interaction and gait deviations. The reliability of this method in children with CP is lacking. The aim of this study is to investigate test-retest reliability and minimal detectabl...

Test-retest reliability of a 6DoF marker set for gait analysis in cerebral pals...
Ricardo, Diogo; Teles, Júlia; Raposo, Maria Raquel; Veloso, António Prieto; João, FilipaBackground: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a complex pathology that describes a group of motor disorders with different presentations and functional levels. Three-dimensional gait analysis is widely used in the assessment of CP children to assist in clinical decision-making. Thus, it is crucial to assess the repeatability of gait measurements to evaluate the progress of the rehabilitation process. The purpose of the st...
Three-Dimensional kinetic adaptations of gait throughout pregnancy and postpartum
Branco, Marco A. C.; Santos-Rocha, RA; Vieira, Maria Filomena; Aguiar, Liliana; Veloso, António PrietoBiomechanical adaptations that occur during pregnancy can lead to changes on gait pattern. Nevertheless, these adaptations of gait are still not fully understood. The purpose was to determine the effect of pregnancy on the biomechanical pattern of walking, regarding the kinetic parameters. A three-dimensional analysis was performed in eleven participants. The kinetic parameters in the joints of the lower limb d...
Analysis of predictive equations of body fat in young taekwondo athletes
Moreira, Pedro Vieira Sarmet; Silva, Analiza Mónica; Crozara, Luciano Fernandes; Veloso, António Prieto; Vieira, FilomenaDue to the lack of valid and accessible tests to measure the body fat percentage (BF%) of adolescent taekwondo athletes (TKDA), this study aimed to analyze six anthropometric equations in the prediction of BF% with the Dual-Energy-x-Ray (DEXA) as referential method for five TKDA (12.23 years ± 1.60). The BF% estimated by the equations were compared with DEXA values using the t-student , linear regression and Bl...
Comparative evaluation of the tridimensional spine position measured with a new...
Quaresma, Cláudia; Joao, Filipa; Fonseca, Miguel; Secca, Mário Forjaz; Veloso, António Prieto; O'Neill, João Goyri; Branco, Jorge C.We designed and built a non-invasive instrument, called Vertebral Metrics, to measure the x, y, and z positions of each spinous process of the spine on a standing position. In the present study, we perform a comparative evaluation of Vertebral Metrics, by comparing the results obtained from this instrument with those from a validated optoelectronic system of stereophotogrammetry, with 10 infrared cameras. The s...
Comparative study of plantar pressure during step exercise in different floor c...
Santos-Rocha, Rita; Veloso, António PrietoMechanical load has been estimated during step exercise based on ground reaction force (GRF) obtained by force platforms. It is not yet accurately known whether these measures reflect foot contact forces once the latter depend on footwear and are potentially modified by the compliant properties of the step bench. The aim of the study was to compare maximal and mean plantar pressure (PP), and maximal GRF obtaine...
Osteogenic index of step exercise depending on choreographic movements, session...
Santos-Rocha, Rita; Oliveira, Carla; Veloso, António PrietoStep exercise has been promoted as a low impact physical activity recommended for the improvement of cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness. This recreational activity might also be recommended to improve bone health since mechanical load plays an important role in the normal development of the skeleton.
