摘要: Body weight support (BWS) systems are a common tool used in gait rehabilitation. BWS may alter the requirements for an individual to actively stabilize by 1) providing lateral restoring forces that reduce nervous system and 2) decreasing stabilizing gravitational moment frontal plane, which could increase stabilize. The goal of current study was quantify interaction between stability. We hypothesized when able-bodied people walk with BWS: provided would plane comparing dynamically similar gaits, increasing decrease speed is constrained. Our findings partly these hypotheses, but indicate complex With BWS, subjects significantly decreased step width variability increased (p<0.05) both Speed-Matched conditions. be attributable combination mechanical enhanced sense position have improved locomotor control. Increases walking high levels been due decreases about stance limb, challenge control stability multiple planes.
