Ankle torque steadiness is related to muscle activation variability and coactivation in children with cerebral palsy.

30 Aug 2009 The aims of this study were to: (1) investigate the significance of muscle activation variability and coactivation for the ability to perform steady submaximal ankle torque (torque steadiness) in healthy children and those with cerebral palsy (CP), ... Read more...

Intraobserver reliability of static measures in the normally developing infant foot and clubfoot.

30 Aug 2009 Static measures data for infants are used in clinical practice and studies without published reliabilities. Intraobserver reliabilities for static measures were assessed in normally developing feet and clubfeet. Coefficient of repeatability was used ... Read more...

Efficacy of the transfer function index using the pulse volume recording as a parameter to assess intermittent claudication.

27 Jul 2009 PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to elucidate whether the ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) or transfer function index (TFI) was useful as an alternative parameter to the treadmill-walking test using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in ... Read more...
