Abstract: (2594 Views)
Purpose: Kyphosis is not only associated with relatively altered vertebral body shape, but also with reduced bone density and fitness, as well as decreased muscle strength. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to investigate the effects of two types of thoracolumbosacral braces on gait kinetics and muscle activities during walking before and after puberty in kyphosis child.
Methods: Forty boys (n=20) and girls (n=20) with kyphosis volunteered to participate in this study. The participants divided into four equal groups (boys before and after puberty and girls before and after puberty). Kinetic and EMG data were recorded during walking.
Results: The analyses revealed that (i) significant decreases and medium to-large sized bracing effects for peak of vertical and lateral ground reaction forces during heel contact (ii) significant increases and medium to- large sized bracing effects for Gas-med and BF activities during the loading phase of walking.
Conclusions: Lower vertical ground reaction force at brace conditions demonstrate the improvement of gait efficiency before and after puberty.
