Standing-up of a healthy subject and a paraplegic patient. 1982

T Bajd, and A Kralj, and R Turk

The joint torques in hip, knee and ankle were measured during the standing-up of a healthy subject. Force plate and stroboscopic photography were used in the experiment. It has been observed that the time courses of particular joint torques depend on the kind of standing-up. On the basis of these results a standing-up procedure for paraplegic patients was proposed. With the use of electrical stimulation to both paralyzed knee extensors and through use of the arm support, a completely paraplegic patient was able to rise independently from the wheel-chair. The same dual-channel stimulation also provides knee locking during standing of spinal cord injured patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007717 Knee A region of the lower extremity immediately surrounding and including the KNEE JOINT.
D009068 Movement The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior. Movements
D010264 Paraplegia Severe or complete loss of motor function in the lower extremities and lower portions of the trunk. This condition is most often associated with SPINAL CORD DISEASES, although BRAIN DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES; and MUSCULAR DISEASES may also cause bilateral leg weakness.
