左立脚相において左股関節と左膝関節の伸展が増大したことで歩行速度が向上した廃用症候群の一症例

Walking speed is expressed as distance per unit time and calculated as the product of step length and walking rate. It is important to increase the position of the lower limb by extension of the hip joint and knee joint in order to improve walking speed. We started physical therapy for a patient with disuse syndrome after aspiration pneumonia who complained of not reaching the toilet in time because of a reduction in walking speed caused by poor extension of the left hip joint from the left mid stance to the left terminal stance. The patient’s walking speed was improved by increasing the extension of the left hip joint from the left mid stance to the left terminal stance.
