Sentence examples for trunk acceleration from inspiring English sources

Trunk acceleration was measured during a 5-min treadmill session using a 3D accelerometer.

The results indicated that walking speed, walk ratio and trunk acceleration variability were not dependent on age (R2 < 2%).

Outcome measures were gait speed and spatial and temporal parameters of footfall and trunk acceleration, derived from an electronic gait mat and accelerometers.

Patients with dementia exhibited a significantly (p < .05) less variable, but more irregular trunk acceleration pattern than cognitively intact elderly on single and dual task walking.

Men increased and women decreased gait speed following manipulations (p = 0.017), with gender differences also in stride velocity variability (p = 0.017) and inter-stride medio-lateral trunk acceleration variability (p = 0.014).

Thus the biggest transients in anteroposterior trunk acceleration oscillate in time with stepping.

The walking pattern during dual tasking for the whole group became increasingly unstable, even though participants modified their gait pattern by slowing their walking speed, and decreasing the magnitude of trunk accelerations.

Outcome measures include stride related measures such as mean and coefficient of variation of stride time, and dynamic measures regarding the magnitude, smoothness, predictability and local stability of trunk accelerations.

Recent evidence suggests that vision during gait is affected in PD [ 17] and that the smoothness of trunk accelerations is also altered [ 9, 10].

This fatigue-induced increase in step width, medio-lateral trunk accelerations and variability in antero-posterior acceleration is related to decreased walking stability and is comparable to gait patterns in frail people [ 22].

Specifically, these studies have revealed a deterioration of the smoothness of trunk accelerations in people with PD as measured by harmonic ratios, which was more pronounced in those with a history of falls.
