Fundamentals of motor function analysis
Editorial data: Dispense Corso di Perfezionamento "Tecnologie per l'Autonomia". Università Cattolica e Fondazione Don Gnocchi
Abstract: (text automatically translated from Italian) The aim of the lesson is to introduce the tools and biomechanical models for quantitative analysis of human movement, in its components kinematics, dynamics and electromyographic. Also describes the main variables that are useful in setting the therapeutic treatment / rehabilitation and monitoring of its effects. Finally, some applications are illustrated instrumental analysis of the movement in the following areas: project development of innovative orthotic for the journey in paraplegia, analysis of the biomechanical effects of the use of orthotics AFO in walking, analysis of the direct and indirect effects of guardians of the hand in treatment of focal dystonia of the upper limb. Finally, you will commonly used protocols in the laboratories of the Center IRCCS S. Maria Nascente for setting the therapeutic treatment / rehabilitation and for monitoring its effects.

Fundamentals of biomechanics, orthoses and walking aids
Editorial data: Dispense Corso di Alta Formazione "Ausili per l'Autonomia e la Partecipazione". Associazione La Nostra Famiglia IRCCS E.Medea
Abstract: (text automatically translated from Italian) The first part of the lesson is devoted to the analysis of normal walking, with particular reference to kinematics, kinetics and neuromuscular events. Below is a description of the way in some pathological forms of disability (subjects with cerebral palsy, people with bone and joint diseases, spinal cord injured subjects, subjects with lesions of the peripheral nervous system), distinguishing, within patterns observed, defects, primary and secondary , and remuneration. Are then processed hypotheses on the possible therapeutic solutions with particular reference to the orthotics and assistive devices. Of these devices are described characteristics and, in particular, the mechanism of action. Particular attention is paid to the analysis and interpretation of the signs and the process that, starting from the latter, take you through interdisciplinary work including, among other figures, even the fundamental orthotist, the correct choice of the garrison, and after the verification of its effectiveness and utility

Analisi comparativa dell’efficacia delle ortesi caviglia-piede (AFO): guida alla scelta e alla prescrizione
Editorial data: Tesi Corso di Perfezionamento "Tecnologie per l'Autonomia". Università Cattolica Milano e Fondazione Don Gnocchi, a.a. 2000-2002
Abstract: (text automatically translated from Italian) Scope of this thesis is that one to currently on sale bring back the state of the art with regard to the ortheses for the ankle, the criteria to hold present for the prescription, the legal norm that the rule. Moreover they come brought back the data of one preliminary study inside lead of the Department of ***Geriatria INRCA “the ***Fraticini” that currency the percentage of prescription of ***AFO (***Ankle-Foot-Orthosis) in hemoplegic patients, stabilized, discharged ***dal the Day hospital in the 2001-July year the 2002 and percentage of abandonment of these ortheses. Of the 25 patients (selected from a champion of 207 subjects discharged in that period) to which it had been prescribed the ortheses for the ankle (equal to 11% of the population), very 21 to the telephone talk have reported to wear it (still equal to 84% of the studied population). Our data are discordant respect to other studies on the argument. In particular the percentage of prescription, in these studies, was gone around around to 20-25%; the percentage of abandonment of the ortheses around to 30-40%. That could make to think that the percentage of prescription in less in our study regarding the others, is those that later on would have lead to a abandonment of the ortheses.

Andrea is a child 6 years old, that suffers from infantile cerebral paralysis and its mother is the parent whom more they give near takes treatment of he. The path of Andrea has been arduous, for years in fact the contact with a various figure from a relative provoked in he a reaction of plants, made - this - that has slowed down the rehabilitative path remarkablly. In 2007 frequentation of the asylum, ***seppur not assiduous begins one, for via of the remarkable difficulties of movement. At the moment of the caretaking, in fact, in order to move outside of its room, Andrea one completely entrusted its mother: she was she that in arm it transported it until the machine, in order then to load the necessary pram to the external movements and place in the ***androne in bottom to the scale. Inside of the room Andrea it used a small system of sitting by now decidedly too much (prescribed already from 2 years), while to the asylum it used the same pram used for the external movements, in how much the school did not possess some system of posture.
