Altered joint kinematics and increased electromyographic muscle activity during walking in patients with intermittent claudication

BACKGROUND: Patients with intermittent claudication (IC) tend to walk at a slower pace, have less lower leg muscle strength, and consume approximately 40% more oxygen during walking compared with healthy individuals. An unfavorable locomotion pattern has been suggested to explain this metabolic inefficiency. However, knowledge on gait patterns in IC is limited. Muscle activity patterns during walking measured using surface electromyography (EMG) have not been investigated in this patient population. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, gait pattern of patients newly diagnosed with IC and ag... Mehr ...
