Dynamic stability during level walking and obstacle crossing in persons with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

Dynamic stability during level walking and obstacle crossing in persons with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

Highlights • We evaluate quantitative, instrumented dynamic stability in persons with FSHD. • Level walking stability is maintained by adjustment of walking speed and step time. • Forward dynamic stability decreases in FSHD when crossing a small obstacle. • Increased trunk/hip flexion and trailing t...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We evaluate quantitative, instrumented dynamic stability in persons with FSHD. • Level walking stability is maintained by adjustment of walking speed and step time. • Forward dynamic stability decreases in FSHD when crossing a small obstacle. • Increased trunk/hip flexion and trailing toe clearance is found in moderate FSHD.
