Title: | Reappraisal of gait patterns in minimally impaired Multiple Sclerosis patients reveals characteristic foot shuffling sounds | Authors: | VAN ZWIETEN, Koos Jaap NARAIN, Faridi Kosten, Lauren WENS, Inez OP 'T EIJNDE, Bert VANDERSTEEN, Marjan SCHMIDT, Klaus |
Issue Date: | 2013 | Source: | International Sound and Vibration Digest, 14 (1), p. 5-6 | Abstract: | Heller et al.(2013) state that in multiple sclerosis patients, inversion of the foot at terminal swing is insufficiently corrected. However, it is the inversion of the foot at the end of the stance phase that is insufficiently corrected because of poor eversion of the foot in the early swing phase, which results in early ground contact of the outside border of the still partially inverted foot in the terminal swing phase. In minimally impaired multiple sclerosis patients walking on a treadmill, this leads to the producing of characteristic high-pitched shuffling sounds, generated in fact by a temporary friction of the outside border of the shod foot-in-terminal-swing, along the surface of the treadmill belt. | Notes: | ISVD, Vol. 14, 1, February 2013, ITEM 7 : RESEARCH ON DIAGNOSTIC SOUND FOR MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS PATIENTS | Keywords: | Minimally impaired multiple sclerosis; Gait analysis by clinical observation; Shuffling sounds of foot during terminal swing phase | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/15097 | Link to publication/dataset: | http://www.iiav.org/index.php?va=isvd | Rights: | The International Sound and Vibration Digest (ISVD), Published by The International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration (IIAV) | Category: | A2 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
