The influence of stimulus cue on the initiation of stepping in young and older adults.
At 102 weeks, immediate combination treatment with either strategy was more effective than MTX monotherapy prior to the initiation of step-up therapy.
Biomechanically, hip extension is critical to the initiation of stepping in the cat (McVea et al., 2005).
First, the initiation of step 2 should be timely, i.e., the decision should be made as early as possible after failure of step 1 to maintain A1C <7.0%.
Gradually the costs incurred increased, such that by 2 years after initiation of step therapy, the average quarterly cost per patient was $99 higher in the step-therapy group than in the control group [ 145].
By contrast, initiation of stepping following stimulations at rest (i.e., 250 ms) usually (77%) started before stimulus offset; treadmill speed began to increase at 209.9 ± 49.3 ms from stimulus onset (range 95 311 ms, 100 onsets, n = 3 mice) and peaked bimodally at 315 and 445 ms (p = 0.02, Hartigan's dip test) [ 31].
Participants' gaits were observed for initiation of gait, step height, step length, step symmetry, step continuity, path deviation, trunk stability, walk stance and turning while walking.
14 The fact that this intervention had an impact on the initiation of the step response is important since step or gait initiation is frequently repeated during daily activities, leading to accidental falls during the step initiation phase in people with deficits in balance control.
Surely the fact that step direction and the swing leg in the voluntary step execution test were known prior to the step execution could possibly have influenced the initiation of the step.
As mentioned above, Matsumura et al. (2003) suggested that the site for the initiation of décollement step-down is almost coincident with the location of seismogenesis.
38 Falls during initiation of a step could occur when the APAs are not performed efficiently enough prior to the unloading of the swing leg, causing an unstable postural condition.
