Biomechanical Outcomes Related with Gait in Children with Cerebral Palsy Using ...
Gordo, Jessica Jorge; Pascoal-Faria, Paula; Mateus, Artur; Morouço, Pedro; Schiriati, Verónica; Sandra, AmadoGait in children with cerebral palsy (CP) is often affected by motor impairments which limit the patient's ability to walk. To improve gait and reduce walking limitations, children with CP need to use ankle foot orthoses. An orthosis is an externally applied device that is designed and fitted to the body to achieve one or more of the following goals: a) Control biomechanical alignment. b) Correct or accommodate...
Sheep Gait Biomechanics and the Assessment of Musculoskeletal Conditions: A Sys...
Silva, Rui; Dimas, Ivo Santos; Fernandez, Justin W.; Alves, Nuno; Morouço, Pedro; Maurício, Ana Colette; Veloso, António; Sandra, AmadoIn recent years, sheep have been reported as the ideal animal model to study osteoporosis, hence it is important to identify instruments, tools and ideal parameters needed to assess the effects of different treatments. In previous studies conducted in other animal models with osteoporosis, the most common parameters used for evaluation concerned primarily bone properties, such as the dual X-ray absorptiometry. ...
