Abstract

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of CANE application by ELDERLY men on their GAIT temporal variables.Methods: Ten ELDERLY men who used to walk without CANE were chosen as control group (I). Another 10 ELDERLY men who used to walk with CANE for at least three years were selected as experimental group (II). All subjects were over 60 years old. Subjects did not have any serious disease such as Parkinson or any other illnesses that could affect their walking. First, the head, trunk, pelvic, thigh, leg and foot segments in the right side of the body were identified using three spherical markers (1.5 cm in diameter) for each segment. Then using H-Rez Motion Analysis System (240 HZ) with three Falcon cameras the subject's walking was captured and the related kinematics was analyzed. Multivariate Analysis Of Variance (MANOVA) was used for statistical analysis with a=0.05. Results: showed that the STRIDE length in groups I and II was 1341±235 and 1140±68 respectively. The differences between these two values were significant (p=0.01). Also, the WALKING SPEED for experimental group (650 m/s) was significantly smaller than that in control group (908 m/s) (p=0.01). The STRIDE duration and stance phase in experimental group were both 16% greater than that in control group (p=0.01).Discussion and conclusion: CANE imposes an additional support surface. When leading on CANE, the center of mass shifts towards the CANE base of support and therefore the body posture is disturbed. Consequently, the walking pattern is modified. For this reason, slower walking with smaller STRIDE length is seen in ELDERLY men who are used to walk with CANE. A particular rehabilitation program might be beneficial for this group.
