摘要: Sixteen control subjects and 15 with type 2 diabetes were examined to compare gait characteristics during walking in a linear path turns of 0.33 0.66 m diameter. Subjects excluded if there was diminished sensation the feet or impairment strength legs. This done isolate effect independent loss sensation. Gait assessed through contact sensors on foot, video, two axis accelerometers mounted bilaterally head, shoulders, hips, knees ankles. The results these experiments showed that walked significantly slower (P<0.05) than wider stance (P<0.01), both for (velocity 62.2% controls 134.9% controls) when making 50.6% 120.1% controls). Accelerometry increased flexion/extension lateral movement major joints compared subjects. Part at due tremor 8 Hz 16 bands. These findings suggest least some joint people is likely neurological origin not related muscle weakness feet.
