MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF REFLEX DURIGN UPRIGHT POSTURE IN PARALYZED SUBJECTS

摘要: The characteristics of flexor reflexes have been investigated in the previous studies with human subjects who were seated or supine position. However, researchers did not describe how spinal circuits are used different hip angles for paralyzed subjects, such as standing position walker cane. In upright posture compatibility between a reflex leg and body balance is special problem lower limb injured subjects. Therefore, purpose this study was to investigate effects angle change on evoked supported by walker. study, six cord four stroke recruited through inpatient physical therapy clinics Korea national rehabilitation hospital. A single axis electronic goniometer mounted lateral side joint impaired record movements sagittal plane at joint. connected data acquisition system, amplifiers computer. Since subject' influenced flexion response, an help parallelogram walder. Two series tests performed each leg. first influence during stationary response. adjusted foot plate. second examined effect voluntary action subject swing motion gait. electrically induced simultaneously produced hip, knee dorsiflexion ankle enabling phase walking. Form experimental results we observed that response largerwith extended than flexed posture. Under movement gaint, peak stimulation increased injury patients movement.
