A study on increasing a function of the gait movement in elderly

如何提高老年人的步态功能是本课题的主要研究内容之一。步行过程中的“意识”概念是一个新的概念，也是本研究的关键词。在自由行走中，这些受试者被要求在行走过程中感受来自地面的唯一压力。此外，还指导受试者按照健康人步行时压力中心轨迹的生物力学研究结果所示的良好步行示例进行步行，通过Palotec System（Paromed Co. Ltd.）分析步行时的足底压力。由相同的受试者测试以下三种不同的步行条件并进行比较。在平坦的道路上行走，在斜坡上行走（通过跑步机），在楼梯上行走。在步行的情况下，斜坡向上和楼梯的条件下，更明显地增加了鞋底的压力比平坦的方式。步行与“意识”的踢地面被评估为导致的优点，老年人和年轻人，以增加步态性能。建议在楼梯和斜坡上行走，以提高步态性能。

How to increase the function of the gait performance in elderly is one of the main topics of this research project. The concept of the "consciousness" during walking is a new idea and the key word of the present study.The students and some elderly persons were requested as the subject of this study. In free walking, these subjects were asked to feel the sole pressure from the ground during walking. The subjects were also instructed to walk following to the example of the good walking which is presented by the result of the biomechanical research of the trace of center of pressure during walking by a healthy person.The sole pressure during walking was analyzed by Palotec System (Paromed Co. Ltd.). The following three different walking conditions were tested by the same subjects and compared. Walking on the flat way condition, walking on the slope (by the treadmill), walking on the stairway condition. In the case of walking the slope upward and stairway conditions were more clearly increased the sole pressure than the flat way.The walking with the "consciousness" of kick the ground was evaluated as leads to the merit for the elderly and also for the young person to increase the gait performance. The walking on the stairway and the slope should be recommended to increase the gait performance.
