“…Reference data for normal subjects have been collected. Although the obtained selected joint angle curves are in agreement with the literature (Leardini et al, 2007;Collins et al, 2009;Benedetti et al, 1998), caution is recommended when comparing the results among different protocols, especially in the case of non-sagittal planes (Ferrati et al, 2008).…”

International Society of Biomechanics has proposed a general reporting standard for joint kinematics based on anatomical reference frames. Nevertheless, the gait analysis protocols based on this standard are still poorly reported. The purpose of the current study is to propose and preliminarily assess the potential of an anatomically based ISB 6-DOF protocol, which combines the ISB reporting standard together with a marker cluster technique. The proposed technical marker set enables full description of the lower limb kinematics (including three-dimensional ankle-foot complex rotations) according to the current biomechanical recommendation. The marker set provides a clinically acceptable inter-trial repeatability and minimal equipment requirements.

“…A recent study evaluated the performance of anatomically based protocols (Manca et al, 2010;Leardini et al, 2007;Ferrati et al, 2008), including those using marker clusters (Collins et al, 2009). However, both those protocols are not fully consistent with the ISB recommendation.…”

“…A recent study conducted in the general population comparing the kinematic data from different marker sets reported significant differences in the results for pelvic range of motion [53]. The results highlight the need for interpreting caution when comparing the results of different marker sets from the studies of our review [54]. In addition to different marker sets, inaccurate marker placement accounts for a major source of measurement error in computing joint kinematics [26].…”

Spinal, pelvic, and hip movement asymmetries in people with lower-limb amputation: Systematic review

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract-Following amputation, people with transfemoral amputation (TFA) and transtibial amputation (TTA) adapt with asymmetrical movements in the spinal and lower-limb joints. The aim of this review is to describe the trunk, lumbopelvic, and hip joint movement asymmetries of the amputated limb of people with TFA and TTA during functional tasks as compared with the intact leg and/or referent leg of nondisabled controls. Electronic databases were searched from inception to February 2014. Studies with kinematic data comparing (1) amputated and intact leg and (2) amputated and referent leg of nondisabled controls were included (26 articles). Considerable heterogeneity in the studies precluded data pooling. During stance phase of walking in participants with TFA, there is moderate evidence for increased trunk lateral flexion toward the amputated limb as compared with the intact leg and increased anterior pelvic tilt as compared with nondisabled controls. None of the studies investigated spinal kinematics during other functional tasks such as running, ramp walking, stair climbing, or obstacle crossing in participants with TFA or TTA. Overall, persons with TFA adapt with trunk and pelvic movement asymmetries at the amputated limb to facilitate weight transfer during walking. Among participants with TTA, there is limited evidence of spinal and pelvic asymmetries during walking.

“…It is imperative to understand the technical aspects of biomechanical analyses, particularly in cases where gait reports assist in determining treatment interventions for patients. The typical biomechanical model used in such analyses is the HelenHayes model [9] with limitations (such as cross-talk between planes at the knee and hip) widely acknowledged [12]. Erroneous hip and pelvic curves can arise from inaccurate marker placement of the notoriously challenging sacrum marker and the two markers on the left and right anterior superior iliac spines (ASIS).…”
