Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Gait Analysis
  • Human Movement Science

Background:

  • Traditional gait analysis often focuses on lower limb biomechanics.
  • Simultaneous assessment of upper limb movement during gait is less common.
  • Integrating upper limb analysis can provide a more holistic understanding of gait.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel marker set for simultaneous upper and lower limb biomechanical assessment during gait.
  • To enable comprehensive gait analysis including both upper and lower body movements.
  • To establish a feasible method for clinical applications.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an optoelectronic system, force platforms, and video analysis with 24 healthy young adults.
  • Applied a proposed marker set for simultaneous data acquisition of upper and lower limbs during gait.
  • Calculated kinematic and kinetic parameters for shoulder and elbow joints.

Main Results:

  • Successfully obtained kinematic and kinetic data in multiple planes for shoulder and elbow joints.
  • Established normative ranges for upper limb gait parameters from healthy participants.
  • Demonstrated the capability to compute angles, angular velocities, angular acceleration, moments, and powers.

Conclusions:

  • The developed marker set enables simultaneous assessment of upper and lower limb biomechanics during gait.
  • No additional trials are needed beyond standard gait analysis for upper limb motion assessment.
  • The experimental setup is practical and feasible for clinical gait analysis.
