“…A planar law applies to both walking and running, as well as to other gait modes ( Grasso et al, 2000 ; Ivanenko et al, 2007 ). It distinguishes between different developmental stages of human walk ( Cheron et al, 2001b ; Cheron et al, 2001a ; Ivanenko et al, 2004 ; Dominici et al, 2011 ), as well as between normal and pathological gait ( Grasso et al, 2004b ; Laroche et al, 2007 ; Leurs et al, 2012 ; Degelaen et al, 2013 ; Cappellini et al, 2016 ; Ishikawa et al, 2017 ; Wallard et al, 2018 ). Importantly, it has been shown that the planar covariation in humans is not a trivial consequence of the geometrical and kinematic relationships between different limb segments ( Ivanenko et al, 2008 ).…”

Locomotion of tetrapods on land adapted to different environments and needs resulting in a variety of different gait styles. However, comparative analyses reveal common principles of limb movement control. Here, we report that a kinematic synergy involving the planar covariation of limb segment motion holds in 54 different animal species (10 birds and 44 mammals), despite large differences in body size, mass (ranging from 30 g to 4 tonnes), limb configuration, and amplitude of movements. This kinematic synergy lies at the interface between the neural command signals output by locomotor pattern generators, the mechanics of the body center of mass and the external environment, and it may represent one neuromechanical principle conserved in evolution to save mechanical energy.

“…Such planar covariation of the elevation angles held for various gaits, such as running (Hicheur et al, 2006; Ivanenko et al, 2007), curved walking (Courtine and Schieppati, 2004), backward walking (Grasso et al, 1998; Hicheur et al, 2006), walking on inclined surfaces (Noble and Prentice, 2008), walking with bent or erect posture (Grasso et al, 2000), stepping over an obstacle (Ivanenko et al, 2005b; Maclellan and McFadyen, 2010), walking with body weight unloading (Ivanenko et al, 2002), and walking on a slippery surface (Cappellini et al, 2010), which suggests an invariant characteristic in locomotion. In addition, this characteristic appeared in toddlers (Cheron et al, 2001; Ivanenko et al, 2004, 2005a; Dominici et al, 2007, 2010; Hallemans and Aerts, 2009; Cappellini et al, 2016); neonates (Dominici et al, 2011); gait disorders (Grasso et al, 2004; Laroche et al, 2007; Leurs et al, 2012; Martino et al, 2014; Cappellini et al, 2016; Ishikawa et al, 2017; Wallard et al, 2018); and also various animals (Catavitello et al, 2018), including cats (Poppele and Bosco, 2003), dogs (Catavitello et al, 2015), monkeys (Courtine et al, 2005; Ogihara et al, 2012), and birds (Ogihara et al, 2014). Investigating the coordination structures has provided useful insights for adaptation mechanisms in locomotion.…”

Humans walk, run, and change their speed in accordance with circumstances. These gaits are rhythmic motions generated by multi-articulated movements, which have specific spatiotemporal patterns. The kinematic characteristics depend on the gait and speed. In this study, we focused on the kinematic coordination of locomotor behavior to clarify the underlying mechanism for the effect of speed on the spatiotemporal kinematic patterns for each gait. In particular, we used seven elevation angles for the whole-body motion and separated the measured data into different phases depending on the foot-contact condition, that is, single-stance phase, double-stance phase, and flight phase, which have different physical constraints during locomotion. We extracted the spatiotemporal kinematic coordination patterns with singular value decomposition and investigated the effect of speed on the coordination patterns. Our results showed that most of the whole-body motion could be explained by only two sets of temporal and spatial coordination patterns in each phase. Furthermore, the temporal coordination patterns were invariant for different speeds, while the spatial coordination patterns varied. These findings will improve our understanding of human adaptation mechanisms to tune locomotor behavior for changing speed.

“…For each subject, range of motion (RoM) defined as peak-to-peak amplitude were calculated for the pelvis, hip, knee and ankle in the three planes (sagittal, frontal, transverse). We used RoM (rather than maximum and minimum values) because of its high reproducibility (14). Moments and power parameters were calculated as described in Stoquart et al (22).…”

“…Three-dimensional gait analysis (3DGA) is a powerful tool for providing objective quantitative information on gait pathology permitting the better understanding of abnormal gait patterns. To date, 3DGA has been widely used to give a comprehensive description of gait deviations among several orthopaedic conditions (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). In their multicenter study, Kruger et al (9) said, as a conclusion, that results from 3DGA were vital to understanding the mobility limitations of OI and that such data could inform clinicians about specific gait deviations in this population, allowing clinicians to recommend more focused interventions.…”

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a rare congenital disease of connective tissue characterized by recurrent fractures and progressive skeletal deformities which may impact on gait. The aims of this prospective study were to identify gait deviations in children with osteogenesis imperfecta compared to age-matched controls and establish relationships with clinical features. We evaluated 22 patients with different types of osteogenesis imperfecta using three-dimensional gait analysis. The incidence and location of frac- tures, fracture at birth, age at first fracture, use of intramedullary rodding and number of surgical in- terventions in the lower extremities, bone mineral density, hypermobility and number of injections of bisphosphonates were recorded for each patient. Step length was lower in the osteogenesis imperfecta group compared with the control group. Kinematics showed that sagittal pelvic and transversal hip range of motion were higher in the osteogenesis imperfecta group, whereas sagittal knee range of motion during swing phase was reduced. Regarding kinetics, hip flexion moment and hip negative power peak were significantly decreased in the osteogenesis imperfecta group. Mechanical and energetic parameters were considered as normal. The principal component analysis revealed that the bone mineral density was increased in children who had received more in- jections of bisphosphonates and these had also less deficit in kinematic parameters. Main modifications in gait parameters were observed in spatiotemporal, kinematic and kinetic data. More studies are necessary to allow stratification of severity of the osteogenesis imperfecta disease, help improve its challenging multidisciplinary treatment and ob- jectively assess treatment outcomes.
