Angle--angle diagrams in the assessment of locomotion.

This paper includes original research relating to kinematic information presented in the form of knee-angle/hip-angle diagrams. Cyclic loops which had been utilized in the past mainly for their visual representation have been quantified using a shape recognition technique. Quantitative analyses of angle-angle diagrams associated with 5 normal subjects were carried out. The quantification and physical interpretations of the parameters extracted from the angle-angle diagrams provided a valuable adjunct to visual assessment of the gaits.

Angle-angle diagrams in above-knee amputee and cerebral palsy gait.

This paper presents the results of further research relating to quantitative analyses of angle-angle diagrams associated with an above-knee (A/K) amputee and a cerebral palsied (C.P.) subject. The quantification and physical interpretations of the parameters extracted from the angle-angle diagrams not only provided a valuable adjunct to visual assessment of the gaits but also elicited significant information regarding overall coordination and control during each gait.

Peroneal nerve stimulator in rehabilitation of hemiplegic patients.

Of nine hemiplegic patients having foot-drop who were test-treated with the Philips functional electronic peroneal stimulator, only three who tolerated continued use of the stimulator for five weeks had improvement in function. Findings in these cases indicate that to be selected for trial use of a stimulator a hemiplegic patient should fulfill the following criteria: (1) be in the hospital, (2) be ambulant with or without a cane and/or short leg brace, (3) have no severe contracture of the ankle joint, (4) have no severe spasticity, (5) have no obvious lower motor neuron lesions, (6) be cooperative and intelligent, (7) have no severe manual difficulty (he should be able to put on the stimulator without assistance), and (8) be able to tolerate the discomfort from the stimulation.
