Objective: This study aims to compare the pelvic biomechanics of patients who underwent Salter innominate osteotomy (SIO) for one hip and Pemberton pericapsular osteotomy (PPO) for the other hip.
Materials And Methods: Fifty-seven of 126 patients who received a one-stage procedure involving SIO for one hip and PPO for the other hip were included in this series. Preoperative x-rays, archived reports and patient recall were obtained and retrospectively analyzed for these 57 patients. Pelvic biomechanics of the two osteotomy techniques were compared on x-rays and computerized tomography imaging.
Results: Based on x-rays, three hips with SIO and 1 hip with PPO had changes that could reflect unstable pelvic biomechanics. SIO caused an average lower limb discrepancy of 0.47 cm in all patients. Positive results were found in 5 patients at their most recent clinical examination.
Conclusion: PPO affects the biomechanics of the pelvis much less than SIO. PPO demonstrated ideal biomechanical results compared with SIO, with fewer changes to the pelvic ring and the hip joints.

Background: The goal of this study was to examine the effects of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) on muscle activity during walking after lower-limb amputation. Amputation results in a loss of sensory feedback and alterations in gait biomechanics, including co-contractions of antagonist muscles about the knee and ankle, and reduced pelvic obliquity range-of-motion and pelvic drop. SCS can restore sensation in the missing limb, but its effects on muscle activation and gait biomechanics have not been studied in people with lower-limb amputation.

Background: Low back pain affects over 80 % of adults, with sacroiliac joint dysfunction accounting for 15-30 % of these cases. Sacroiliac fusion is a surgical procedure for refractory joint pain. While the biomechanics of the joint and its fusion relative to the spinal column are well-known, the hip-spine relationship post-fusion remains unclear.

The anatomy of the pelvis may obscure differences in pelvic tilt, potentially underestimating its correlation with clinical measures. Measuring the total sagittal range of pelvic movement can serve as a reliable indicator of pelvic function. This study assessed the inter- and intra-examiner reliability of the Kinovea version 0.

Duchenne gait, characterized by an ipsilateral trunk lean towards the affected stance limb, compensates for weak hip abductor muscles, notably the gluteus medius (GM). This study aims to investigate how electromyographic (EMG) cluster analysis of GM contributes to a better understanding of Duchenne gait in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). We analyzed retrospective gait data from 845 patients with CP and 65 typically developed individuals.

Among control methods for robotic exoskeletons, biologically inspired control based on central pattern generators (CPGs) offer a promising approach to generate natural and robust walking patterns. Compared to other approaches, like model-based and machine learning-based control, the biologically inspired control provides robustness to perturbations, requires less computational power, and does not need system models or large learning datasets. While it has shown effectiveness, a comprehensive evaluation of its user experience is lacking.
