Sentence examples for increase stride from inspiring English sources

The latter would not only increase stride length but also allow easier passage through dense vegetation and provide a high vantage point to spot prey, both adaptations reflected in modern avian terrestrial stalkers [104].

Moreover, successful treatment of HP has been shown to increase stride length in PD patients, whereas failure to eradicate HP results in significantly worse symptoms [ 98].

Young and middle-aged adults who are depressed generally do not have an increased fall risk, probably because depression by itself does not increase stride variability enough to cause falls and because other physiologic systems that help maintain gait and balance stability are generally intact.

1 7 Running in minimalist shoes can cause runners to run with a more plantar-flexed ankle at initial contact and adopt a forefoot footfall (FF) pattern, 4 6 7 increase stride rate, 1 7 reduce stride length, 1 increase ankle plantar-flexor moments and decrease knee extensor moments, 4 and improve running economy.

One possibility is that the changes in basal ganglia function in depression [ 15] increase stride variability, as occurs in Parkinson's disease; however, the mechanisms whereby depression and other affective disorders influence gait and impair the regulation of stride variability remain to be determined.

Their legs are proportionally longer than those of other big cats; an elongated spine increases stride length at high speeds; they have unretractable claws, special paw pads for extra traction, and a long tail for balance.

Three subjects with initially slow gait velocity improved to within normal limits by demonstrating increased stride length.

Increasing BWS increased stride length (p < 0.02) and flight duration (p < 0.01) and decreased stride rate (p < 0.01) and contact time (p < 0.01) in small-large magnitudes.

These gait-retraining changes, such as adopting a non-rearfoot strike and increasing stride frequency, have been found to have positive effects on a risk of injury.

In general, we found that increasing BWS on a LBPPT increased stride length and flight duration and decreased stride rate and contact time while attenuating a variety of physiological characteristics at a range of treadmill velocities.

The results showed that obstacle clearance is associated with the reorganization of the basic step pattern resulting in increased stride length of all limbs, increased duration of the swing phase of the hindlimbs only, and the appearance of two quadrupedal stance phases.
