| functional gait assessment pdf: Functional Assessment for Adults with Disabilities National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Health and Medicine Division, Board on Health Care Services, Committee on Functional Assessment for Adults with Disabilities, 2019-08-31 The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) provides disability benefits through the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. To receive SSDI or SSI disability benefits, an individual must meet the statutory definition of disability, which is the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity [SGA] by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. SSA uses a five-step sequential process to determine whether an adult applicant meets this definition. Functional Assessment for Adults with Disabilities examines ways to collect information about an individual's physical and mental (cognitive and noncognitive) functional abilities relevant to work requirements. This report discusses the types of information that support findings of limitations in functional abilities relevant to work requirements, and provides findings and conclusions regarding the collection of information and assessment of functional abilities relevant to work requirements. |

| functional gait assessment pdf: Forensic Gait Analysis Ivan Birch, Michael Nirenberg, Wesley Vernon, Maria Birch, 2020-07-07 Gait analysis is the systematic study of human walking, using the eye and brain of experienced observers, augmented by instrumentation for measuring body movements, body mechanics, and the activity of the muscles. Since Aristotle’s work on gait analysis more than 2000 years ago, it has become an established clinical science used extensively in the healthcare and rehabilitation fields for diagnosis and treatment. Forensic Gait Analysis details the more recent, and rapidly developing, use of gait analysis in the forensic sciences. The book considers the use of observational gait analysis, based on video recordings, to assist in the process of identification or exclusion. With the increase in use of CCTV and surveillance systems over the last 20 to 30 years, there has been a steady and rapid increase in the use of gait as evidence. Currently, gait analysis is widely used in the UK in criminal investigations, with increasing awareness of its potential use in the US, Europe, and globally. The book details the history of the science, current practices, and of the emergent application to establish best-practice standards that conform to those of other forensic science disciplines. Engagement with the Forensic Science Regulator, and the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences in the UK, and the International Association for Identification has helped to ensure and enhance the quality assurance of forensic gait analysis. However, there remains a fundamental lack of standardized training and methodology for use in evidentiary and investigative casework. This book fills that void, serving as one of the first to describe the current state of practice, capabilities and limitations, and to outline methods, standards of practice and expectations of the gait analyst as a forensic practitioner. Forensic Gait Analysis reflects current research and forensic practice and will serve as a state-of-the-art guide to the use of gait analysis in the forensic context—for both education and training purposes. It will be a welcome addition to the libraries of professionals in the areas of podiatry, gait analysis, forensic video analysis, law enforcement, and legal practice. |

| functional gait assessment pdf: Clinical Pathways in Stroke Rehabilitation Thomas Platz, 2021-01-14 This open access book focuses on practical clinical problems that are frequently encountered in stroke rehabilitation. Consequences of diseases, e.g. impairments and activity limitations, are addressed in rehabilitation with the overall goal to reduce disability and promote participation. Based on the available best external evidence, clinical pathways are described for stroke rehabilitation bridging the gap between clinical evidence and clinical decision-making. The clinical pathways answer the questions which rehabilitation treatment options are beneficial to overcome specific impairment constellations and activity limitations and are well acceptable to stroke survivors, as well as when and in which settings to provide rehabilitation over the course of recovery post stroke. Each chapter starts with a description of the clinical problem encountered. This is followed by a systematic, but concise review of the evidence (RCTs, systematic reviews and meta-analyses) that is relevant for clinical decision-making, and comments on assessment, therapy (training, technology, medication), and the use of technical aids as appropriate. Based on these summaries, clinical algorithms / pathways are provided and the main clinical-decision situations are portrayed. The book is invaluable for all neurorehabilitation team members, clinicians, nurses, and therapists in neurology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and related fields. It is a World Federation for NeuroRehabilitation (WFNR) educational initiative, bridging the gap between the rapidly expanding clinical research in stroke rehabilitation and clinical practice across societies and continents. It can be used for both clinical decision-making for individuals and as well as clinical background knowledge for stroke rehabilitation service development initiatives. |

| functional gait assessment pdf: Biomechanics of Lower Limb Prosthetics Mark R. Pitkin, 2009-10-14 Foreword from a Clinical Biomechanist, Applied Physiologist and Prosthetist teaching graduate students in Prosthetics & Orthotics. While there are many books on Biomechanics, arguably the quintessential science of limb prosthetics, none addresses the fundamental principles in sufficient detail and depth to be practically useful to the prosthetist, rehabilitation specialist or researcher. Dr. Pitkin’s monograph is an exemplary collection of theoretical principles from his research and o- ers, presented in its clinical and applied biomechanics form. The textbook provides an excellent overview of the many facets of lower limb prosthetic design and engineering for the ardent clinician researcher and student. The book delves into many of the basic concepts that are required knowledge for the clinician and the scientist to have as the foundation for their work. Dr. Pitkin has an e- quent manner in which he reflects on the history and literature to tell the storied evolution of prosthetic design . He takes the reader on a journey to consider his theories, which have substantive foundations to contemplate. By the end of chapter one, we have the basic h- tory and an appreciation for the rationale behind the “rolling joint ankle” with evidence to support his theoretical views. |
| functional gait assessment pdf: Primary Care Occupational Therapy Sue Dahl-Popolizio, Katie Smith, Mackenzie Day, Sherry Muir, William Manard, 2023-05-15 Healthcare is shifting towards a holistic, whole person approach to improve population health, decrease cost of care, and improve patient, and provider experiences. To achieve this, the primary care sector is adopting an integrated, interprofessional care team model which addresses both biomedical and behavioral health, and includes preventative care, population health management, technology, and innovative strategies to increase access to care. Occupational therapy (OT) is uniquely positioned to add their distinct whole person mental/behavioral health and medical care scope and skill to these teams to address patient needs. As this is an emerging practice area for OT, and no guidelines specific to primary care exist, this book will be a first of its kind text for occupational therapy practitioners (OTP) in primary care settings. As OTPs work with habits, roles, and routines that affect health, OT in primary care promotes health and improves patient self-management of medical conditions and lifestyles, reducing patient dependence on costly health care services. This timely clinical manual guides best practices for primary care OT. It helps OTPs fit into the quick paced primary care practice model. In traditional OT settings, intervention sessions are longer, and focus on acute rehabilitation or mental/behavioral health conditions. In primary care, visits are brief, and address patient needs in the context of their presenting issue. No other published guide meets the unique needs of this emerging practice area. Authors provide administrative information specific to OT in primary care, and interventions for specific health conditions, including chronic conditions, common to this setting. Written by experts in the field, Primary Care Occupational Therapy is the definitive resource for all primary care OTPs or those interested in lifestyle-based interventions for conditions frequently seen in primary care. It is also a useful guide for behavioral health care providers and administrators of general medical practices. |

| functional gait assessment pdf: Assessments and Risk Factors for Falls in Persons with Acute Stroke Hanna Sjöholm, 2021-02-22 Background: Early identification of risk factors is crucial for reducing the high fall risk associated with stroke, and sex differences in relation to falls need to be further investigated. There is a lack of uniform, standardized, and reliable testing procedures for postural reactions, and existing tests assessing negotiating obstacles while walking cannot be performed when walking aids are used. Aim: To investigate the predictive validity of fall risk in persons with acute stroke for easily administered data and assessments, as well as to investigate the psychometric properties of two new tests. Methods: The Postural Rections Test (PRT) and the Cone Evasion Walk Test (CEW) were developed based on literature, and on input from an expert panel. To estimate the reliability of the PRT and CEW, video-recordings of 20 persons with acute stroke performing each item in the PRT and CEW were assessed by 10 physiotherapists on two occasions, at least two weeks apart. The construct validity of the CEW (n = 221), was examined in relation to selected corresponding tests, and predictive validity by correlating the CEW to falls within six months. In 124 women and 160 men the results from the PRT and CEW, along with other easily administered data and assessments on participant characteristics, functions, and activities were analyzed in relation to the number of days to the first fall by Cox regression, while fall incidence was analyzed by negative binomial regression, both for the total cohort, and for women and men separately. Sex differences in monthly fall incidence were analyzed with Poisson regression. Results: For the intra-rater reliability of the PRT, the overall proportion of agreement was 87 − 92% for the different postural reactions, and in median 9–10 out of 10 physiotherapists scored the same value for inter-rater reliability. In the CEW the intra-class correlation coefficients for intra-rater and inter-rater reliability were 0.88–0.98. The results showed expected poor to moderate correlations to the selected tests for construct validity, and to falls within six months. Participants touched significantly more cones on the side that was opposite to the side of their lesion. The Cox regression analysis showed that intake of more than eight medications, paresis in the arms, paresis in the legs, impaired protective reactions in sitting, and limitations in self-care activities were decisive risk factors for the time to the first fall, and according to the negative binomial regression, limitations in mobility activities was a decisive risk factor for high fall incidence in the total cohort (p<0.0005). The assessor’s judgment of a person’s six-month fall risk, was particularly well suited for identification of individuals with a high risk for multiple falls; however only in women when analyzed for each sex separately (p<0.0005). Compared to men, a higher number of fall risk factors were identified in women, including impaired mental functions, paresis in the arms, and limitations in several activities of self-care and mobility (p<0.0005). In men, the most decisive fall risk factors were intake of a high number of medications, intake of antidepressants, and mobility limitations (p=0.001). Fall incidence during the first month from discharge was significantly higher in men compared to women. Conclusions: The PRT and CEW can be reliably used in persons with acute stroke, and are valid for assessment of fall risk. A high quantity and wide range of rapid and easily collected data can be used for identification of persons at high risk for falls. The risk factors differed in part when analyzing the time to the first fall, and six-month fall incidence, and different fall risk factors were the most decisive when analyzed separately in women and men. Monthly fall incidence was higher in men during the first month. Bakgrund: Tidig identifiering av riskfaktorer för fall är av väsentlig betydelse för att minska den höga fallrisken hos personer med stroke, och kunskap om eventuella könsskillnader vad gäller riskfaktorer för fall behövs för att kunna individanpassa fallriskbedömningar och fallpreventiva insatser. Det har tidigare saknats ett enhetligt och standardiserat bedömningsförfarande för posturala reaktioner; dvs jämvikts-, upprätnings- och fallskyddsreaktioner. Det har även saknats ett bedömningsinstrument för förmågan att undvika föremål i samband med gång, som kan utföras av personer som går med gånghjälpmedel. Syfte: Att hos personer med akut stroke undersöka prediktiv validitet av fallrisk för lättadministrerade patientdata och bedömningsinstrument, liksom att undersöka psykometriska egenskaper för två nyutvecklade tester. Metod: Reliabilitetstestningen av Postural Reactions Test (PRT) och Cone Evasion Walk Test (CEW) utfördes genom att personer med akut stroke filmades då de utförde testerna. När alla delmoment i PRT samt CEW utförts av 20 personer vardera bedömdes testutförandena på filmerna av 10 sjukgymnaster vid två olika tillfällen, med minst två veckors mellanrum. Begreppsvaliditeten av CEW undersöktes genom att analysera samstämmigheten mellan CEW och ett antal utvalda, relaterade bedömningsinstrument. Deltagarna i studien noterade huruvida de fallit eller ej i falldagböcker och sedan samlades denna information in via månatliga telefonsamtal under sex månaders tid. Snabbt och enkelt insamlad patientdata och testresultat från lättadministrerade funktions- och aktivitetstester analyserades i förhållande till fall både för samtliga deltagare i studien (284 stycken), men även för kvinnor och män separat. Könsskillnader i månatlig fallincidens analyserades också. Resultat: Undersökningen av intrabedömarreliabilitet visade att samstämmigheten för de enskilda fysioterapeuterna i bedömningen av testutförandena mellan de två testtillfällena var 87-92% för PRT och 70-90% för CEW. Undersökningen av interbedömarreliabiliteten visade att i median 9–10 av 10 fysioterapeuter gjorde samma bedömning av testutförandena av PRT, liksom av CEW. Resultaten av validitetstestingen visade ett signifikant men svagt samband mellan CEW och Timed Up and Go, Functional Ambulation Classification, Star Cancellation Test och uppmärksamhetsuppgiften “upprepa subtraktion av sju från 100” i Montreal Cognitive Assessment. I utförandet av CEW, gick deltagarna på signifikant fler koner på den sida som var motsatt deras hjärnskada. Ett signifikant svagt samband identifierades mellan CEW och antalet fall. I den totala kohorten var användande av fler än åtta läkemedel, armpares, benpares, nedsatta fallskyddsreaktioner i sittande, och nedsatt förmåga att utföra aktiviteter i det dagliga livet avgörande riskfaktorer för tidiga fall. En begränsad förflyttningsförmåga var en avgörande riskfaktorer för hög fallincidens. Testledarens bedömning av risken att falla de kommande 6 månaderna var särskilt väl lämpad för identifiering av personer med en hög risk för hög fallincidens, dock endast för kvinnorna när analysen utfördes för kvinnor och män separat. Fler riskfaktorer identifierades hos kvinnorna, däribland nedsatta psykiska funktioner, armpares och nedsättningar i flera olika aktiviteter rörande personlig vård och förflyttningar. Hos männen var de mest avgörande riskfaktorerna ett stort antal intagna läkemedel, användande av antidepressiva läkemedel samt en begränsad förflyttningsförmåga. Den månatliga fallincidensen var signifikant högre hos männen än hos kvinnorna den första månaden efter utskrivningen från någon av strokeavdelningarna. Konklusion: PRT och CEW kompletterar befintliga bedömningsinstrument och är reliabla och valida för bedömning vid akut stroke. Både CEW och PRT-bedömningen av fallskyddsreaktioner i sittande kan användas för identifiering av personer med en förhöjd risk att falla. Ytterligare ett stort antal lättadministrerade bedömningsinstrument som kan användas för bedömning av fallrisk identifierades. Riskfaktorerna skiljde sig åt avseende risken att falla snart och risken att falla mycket och det var olika fallriskfaktorer som var de mest avgörande för kvinnorna jämfört med männen. Den första månaden efter utskrivning från strokeavdelning var den månatliga fallincidensen högre bland männen än bland kvinnorna. |

| functional gait assessment pdf: Human Walking in Virtual Environments Frank Steinicke, Yon Visell, Jennifer Campos, Anatole Lécuyer, 2013-05-15 This book presents a survey of past and recent developments on human walking in virtual environments with an emphasis on human self-motion perception, the multisensory nature of experiences of walking, conceptual design approaches, current technologies, and applications. The use of Virtual Reality and movement simulation systems is becoming increasingly popular and more accessible to a wide variety of research fields and applications. While, in the past, simulation technologies have focused on developing realistic, interactive visual environments, it is becoming increasingly obvious that our everyday interactions are highly multisensory. Therefore, investigators are beginning to understand the critical importance of developing and validating locomotor interfaces that can allow for realistic, natural behaviours. The book aims to present an overview of what is currently understood about human perception and performance when moving in virtual environments and to situate it relative to the broader scientific and engineering literature on human locomotion and locomotion interfaces. The contents include scientific background and recent empirical findings related to biomechanics, self-motion perception, and physical interactions. The book also discusses conceptual approaches to multimodal sensing, display systems, and interaction for walking in real and virtual environments. Finally, it will present current and emerging applications in areas such as gait and posture rehabilitation, gaming, sports, and architectural design. |
