The Relationship Between Foot and Pelvic Alignment While Standing

Khamis, Sam; Dar, Gali; Peretz, Chava et al.

J Hum Kinet · 2015 · English · PubMed Central

A normal motion and segmental interrelationship has been determined as a significant factor in normal function. Yet, the relationship between distal segments and pelvic alignment needs further investigation. The aim of this study was to investigate the interrelationship between distal and proximal…

Measuring Dynamic Leg Length during Normal Gait

Khamis, Sam; Springer, Shmuel; Ovadia, Dror et al.

Sensors (Basel) · 2018 · English · PubMed Central

Dynamic leg length [DLL] is a resultant factor of anatomic leg length and lower limb movement that is measured by the distance from the hip to the heel, ankle, and forefoot during the gait cycle. The aim of this study was to present DLL measurement during normal gait. Forty healthy participants…

A functional electrical stimulation system improves knee control in crouch gait

Khamis, Sam; Martikaro, Raz; Wientroub, Shlomo et al.

J Child Orthop · 2015 · English · PubMed Central

BACKGROUND: Crouch gait is a major sagittal plane deviation in children diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP). It is defined as a combination of excessive ankle dorsiflexion and knee and hip flexion throughout the stance phase. To the best of our knowledge, functional electrical stimulation (FES) has…

The efficacy of neuroprosthesis in young hemiplegic patients, measured by three different gait indices: early results

Danino, Barry; Khamis, Sam; Hemo, Yoram et al.

J Child Orthop · 2013 · English · PubMed Central

PURPOSE: To evaluate functional electrical stimulation (FES) neuroprothesis as a method to improve gait in hemiplegic patients, using three different gait scoring methods as measures. METHODS: Five hemiplegic patients (four with cerebral palsy at GMFCS I, one with diffuse pontine glioma) with a…

Functional Benefit and Orthotic Effect of Dorsiflexion-FES in Children with Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy

Segal, Idan; Khamis, Sam; Sagie, Liora et al.

Children (Basel) · 2023 · English · PubMed Central

Functional electrical stimulation of the ankle dorsiflexor (DF-FES) may have advantages over ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) in managing pediatric cerebral palsy (CP). This study assessed the functional benefit and orthotic effect of DF-FES in children with hemiplegic CP. We conducted an open-label…
