本研究旨在确定周围神经病变是否导致运动变异性的显著变化。14名严重周围神经病变患者和12名性别、年龄、身高和体重匹配的非糖尿病对照者参加了研究。在10分钟的连续地上行走过程中，测量右髋、膝、踝关节的关节面角和躯干的三轴加速度。计算每个运动学变量的步幅时间和步幅间标准差的标准差。与对照组相比，神经病患者行走较慢，运动变异性有所增加。然而，这些步态变异性的增加主要与自选步行速度的降低有关，而不是直接归因于感觉丧失本身。(C)2001 Elsevier Science B.V.保留所有权利。
The present study was conducted to determine if peripheral neuropathy leads to significant changes in locomotor variability. Fourteen patients with severe peripheral neuropathy and 12 gender-, age-, height-, and weight-matched non-diabetic controls participated. Sagittal plane angles of the right hip, knee, and ankle joints and tri-axial accelerations of the trunk were measured during 10 min of continuous overground walking. Standard deviations of stride times and stride-to-stride standard deviations of each kinematic Variable were calculated. Neuropathic patients walked slower and exhibited some increases in locomotor variability compared to control subjects. However, these increases in gait variability were primarily linked to reductions in self-selected walking speed and were not directly attributable to sensory loss itself.
