PROCEDURE

Gait, sit-to-stand movement, stair climbing and treadmill gait

Spatio temporal characteristics, muscle activation and foot pressure distribution are measured by motion capture system, surface electromyography (sEMG) and F-Scan Mobile system during 10m walking test. Muscle activation and foot pressure distribution are measured by surface electromyography (sEMG) and F-Scan Mobile system during five times sit-to-stand test.Muscle activation and foot pressure distribution are measured by surface electromyography (sEMG) and F-Scan Mobile system during stair climbing. Cortical activation is measured by functional Near-Infrared-Spectroscopy (fNIRS) (NIRScout, NIRx, Germany) during treadmill gait.

PROCEDURE

Sit-to-stand movement and treadmill gait

Muscle activation and foot pressure distribution are measured by surface electromyography (sEMG) and F-Scan Mobile system during five times sit-to-stand test. Cortical activation is measured by functional Near-Infrared-Spectroscopy (fNIRS) (NIRScout, NIRx, Germany) during treadmill gait.

DEVICE
