Comparative effects of multilevel muscle tendon surgery, osteotomies, and dorsal rhizotomy on functional and gait outcome measures for children with cerebral palsy.
(PM & R : the journal of injury, function, and rehabilitation, 2015-05)<h4>Objective</h4>To compare the impact of common surgical interventions (selective dorsal rhizotomy, muscle-tendon surgery, and osteotomies) for patients with cerebral palsy (CP) on Gross Motor Function Measure and temporal, ... -
Energy recovery in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
(Osteoarthritis Cartilage, 2014-06)OBJECTIVE: Pathological gaits have been shown to limit transfer between potential (PE) and kinetic (KE) energy during walking, which can increase locomotor costs. The purpose of this study was to examine whether energy exchange ... -
Gait and behavior in an IL1β-mediated model of rat knee arthritis and effects of an IL1 antagonist.
(J Orthop Res, 2011-05)Interleukin-1 beta (IL1β) is a proinflammatory cytokine that mediates arthritic pathologies. Our objectives were to evaluate pain and limb dysfunction resulting from IL1β over-expression in the rat knee and to investigate ... -
Health and function of participants in the Long Life Family Study: A comparison with other cohorts.
(Aging (Albany NY), 2011-01)Individuals from families recruited for the Long Life Family Study (LLFS) (n= 4559) were examined and compared to individuals from other cohorts to determine whether the recruitment targeting longevity resulted in a cohort ... -
Hip extensor mechanics and the evolution of walking and climbing capabilities in humans, apes, and fossil hominins.
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018-04-02)The evolutionary emergence of humans' remarkably economical walking gait remains a focus of research and debate, but experimentally validated approaches linking locomotor capability to postcranial anatomy are limited. In ... -
Kinematic and dynamic gait compensations in a rat model of lumbar radiculopathy and the effects of tumor necrosis factor-alpha antagonism.
(Arthritis research & therapy, 2011-08-26)Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) has received significant attention as a mediator of lumbar radiculopathy, with interest in TNF antagonism to treat radiculopathy. Prior studies have demonstrated that TNF antagonists can attenuate ... -
Kinematic and dynamic gait compensations resulting from knee instability in a rat model of osteoarthritis.
(Arthritis Res Ther, 2012-04-17)INTRODUCTION: Osteoarthritis (OA) results in pain and disability; however, preclinical OA models often focus on joint-level changes. Gait analysis is one method used to evaluate both preclinical OA models and OA patients. ... -
Physical Performance Predictor Measures in Older Adults With Falls-Related Emergency Department Visits.
(Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 2019-06)OBJECTIVES:Identifying strong predictors for falls and mobility limitations in older adults with a falls-related emergency department visit is crucial. This study aimed to compare, in this clinical population, the incremental ... -
Vitamin B12 and Homocysteine Associations with Gait Speed in Older Adults: The Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging.
(The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2017-01)This study aimed to assess the independent associations of serum levels of vitamin B12 and plasma concentrations of homocysteine with gait speed decline.This study utilized longitudinal analysis of participants 50 years ... -
Whole body mechanics of stealthy walking in cats.
(PLoS One, 2008)The metabolic cost associated with locomotion represents a significant part of an animal's metabolic energy budget. Therefore understanding the ways in which animals manage the energy required for locomotion by controlling ...
