“…This pelvis compensatory mechanism also occurs in hemiplegic gait (Wagenaar & Beek, 1992), in gait during pregnancy (Wu et al, 2002(Wu et al, , 2008, and in the gait of patients with disc herniation (Huang et al, 2011). In our study, pelvis rotation decreased with the increase in the hip motion of the affected side during the late postoperative period, similar to earlier findings (Crosbie & Vachalathiti, 1997;Lamoth, Beek, & Meijer, 2002). Normal gait pattern and hip motion in patients who underwent THA using the AL approach were present one year after surgery .…”

“…The reason is that other joints in the motion chain compensate the decrease of knee joint motion. Synchronous movement of the hip joint and pelvis was also reported in normal people previously [7], so it is inadequate to consider this linkage as simply a compensatory mechanism. The decreased knee joint motion to produce synchronized gait motion is compensated by increased hip joint motion on the opposite side (the healthy side) and by increased pelvic obliquity (Table 3).…”

The aim of this study is to determine how selected gait parameters may change as a result of medial meniscectomy at constant gait speed. Gait analysis using a ZEBRIS ultrasound based three-dimensional motion analysis system was performed in 24 patients who had undergone medial meniscectomy 18 months before the gait analysis. The constant gait speed was 3.5 km/h. Muscle activity was measured by the surface EMG system connected to the system. The muscle groups involved in the tests included (1) m. vastus medialis and (2) lateralis, (3) rectus femoris, (4) m. biceps femoris, (4) m. adductor longus, (5) m. gluteus medius, (6) m. gastrocnemius medialis and (7) lateralis. The spatial-temporal, angular parameters and intermuscular coordination determined are compared to the gait parameters of 51 healthy subjects. The study showed that medial meniscectomy resulted in a change of limb dominance; reduced knee joint motion was compensated by the increased motion of other joints in the kinematic chain-hip joint of the opposite side, pelvic obliquity-and the gait (spatial-temporal parameters) was symmetrical, with no significant differences compared to spatial-temporal parameters of healthy groups. Our study showed that the medial meniscectomy could result in adductor-free gait and reduce the rotation motion of the pelvis.

“…There is evidence that there is less redundancy in faster walking compared with selfselected speed walking. Crosbie and Vachalathiti [6], and van Emmerik and Wagenaar [39] have demonstrated more tightly co-ordinated and less variable hip, pelvic and trunk movements during fast walking.…”

The effect of walking faster on people with acute low back pain

IntroductionWalking is a functional activity that is commonly affected in people with low back pain [24, 38]. Although there is accumulating evidence that movements of the pelvis and lumbar spine play an important role in unimpaired gait [7,14,18,19, 28, 30, 32, 36, 40], little is known about how back pain affects these movements.A recent study found that the differences in pelvic and lumbar movements during self-selected speed walking between those with and without back pain were relatively small [31]. The movement deficits of people with back pain might become more apparent during the change from self-selected speed to fast walking, when extra demands are placed on the locomotor system. In people without impairment, fast walking has been associated with increased stride length and cadence [43] and increased transverseplane movements of the lumbar spine (relative to the pelvis) [8]. There is evidence that people with chronic low back pain find it difficult to increase the transverse plane rotations of the thorax when increasing walking speed Abstract Little is known about selfselected speed and fast walking in people with acute low back pain. This study aimed to investigate (1) the strategies that people with acute low back pain use to change from self-selected speed to fast walking and (2) the effect of a period of treadmill walking on level of back pain. Eight participants with acute low back pain and eight matched control participants were evaluated during self-selected speed and fast walking on a treadmill. The eight participants with back pain were retested 6 weeks later when pain had resolved. Measurements were taken of (1) three-dimensional angular movements of the pelvis and lumbar spine using a videoanalysis system, (2) the timing and distance parameters of walking, and (3) pain levels as measured by a visual analogue scale. We found that to walk faster, those with acute low back pain increased stride length and the frontal plane movements of pelvic list and lumbar lateral flexion (pelvis) to a greater extent than when symptoms had resolved. We also found that 10 min of treadmill walking at selfselected speed led to a reduction in the level of back pain and that there was a high degree of negative correlation between level of back pain and stride length. An additional 5 min of fast walking did not lead to any further changes in level of back pain. These findings support clinical recommendations that the moderate physical activity of walking may be beneficial in the management of people with acute low back pain. To walk faster, people with acute low back pain may utilise strategies that had been limited at self-selected speed, without any increase in pain.
