Abstract:
A new summary index for kinetic gait data is proposed (Gait Kinetic Index - GKI), BASED on six kinetic selected variables: hip, knee and ankle moments and powers on the sagittal plane. This method was applied on a control group (CG) of 18 subjects and on 57 patients with diplegic Cerebral Palsy (CP). CP showed statistical different GKI value in comparison with CG. The same is for the sub GKI with the exclusion of GKI Knee Power. The GKI seems to be a promising tool useful to measure extensively the gait pathology taking into consideration kinetic aspects of gait pattern.

Elimination Kinetics: First-Order and Zero-Order
Drug clearance depends on the rate of drug elimination and its plasma concentration. Another important parameter is a drug's half-life, which is the time required for its concentration to decrease by half. In most cases, drug clearance follows first-order...
