Abstract
eleven trials were identified involving 377 subjects. The pooled effect size for the follow-up values of the functional outcomes was 0.32 in favour of the power training (95% CI 0.06 to 0.57) and 0.38 (95% CI -0.51 to 1.28) for the change value. The pooled effect from three studies for self-reported...

Journal of Trauma (70)1 2011
Abstract
In 1997, H. Zwipp. proposed a 5-point scoring system for the classification of complex trauma of the foot. However, outcome and quality of life after this type of injury have not been studied systematically.
Seventy-four patients with a complex injury of the foot were treated between 2001 and 2007....

Abstract
Sixty-six percent of horses undergoing arthroscopic surgery of the middle carpal joints returned to racing, but there were only weak associations between future racing success and findings at surgery. Lesions in the middle carpal joint were similar to what have previously been described, but there w...

Abstract
Conformation in horses is often considered an indicator of athletic ability, performance and resistance to orthopaedic disease. Evaluation is performed in the standing horse and repeatability influenced by stance. Ground reaction forces increase in the moving horse as speed increases.

Abstract
Disequilibrium and gait disturbance are the most common causes of falls, which are becoming a serious social problem for the increasing geriatric population. Gait disturbance is caused not only by neurological diseases but also by joint and skeletal system abnormalities, and these abnormalities have...

Abstract
The basic locomotor modules located in the brainstem and the spinal cord can control elements of gait movement independently from other structures. Although these locomotor modules are considered to be acquired innately, their higher-level control is important in primates, especially in humans, who...

We also assessed the effects of a rehabilitation program for patients with PD who experienced FOG. Although the lower limb function was more impaired in patients with PD and FOG than in those with PD without FOG, the rehabilitation program was effective even for patients with PD and FOG.

We have mainly discussed the cerebellar ataxic gait. The cerebellum can be divided into 3 phylogenically different lobes: the archicerebellum, paleocerebellum, and neocerebellum. The main components of the cerebellar circuit are 2 types of neurons, i.e., the Purkinje cells and granule cells and 3 ty...

Abstract
Leg swing in human walking has historically been viewed as a passive motion with little metabolic cost. Recent estimates of leg swing costs are equivocal, covering a range from 10 to 33 per cent of the net cost of walking. There has also been a debate as to whether the periods of double-limb support...
