Precision and accuracy of an ankle-worn accelerometer-based pedometer in step counting and energy expenditure
Randal C. Foster,Lorraine Lanningham-Foster,Chinmay U. Manohar,Shelly K. McCrady,Lana J. Nysse,Kenton R. Kaufman,Denny J. Padgett,James A. Levine +7 more
TL;DR: The counts from the Stepwatch were virtually identical to the manual counts from a trained investigator and provided a reliable predictor of walking energy expenditure.

Gait and balance of transfemoral amputees using passive mechanical and microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees
Kenton R. Kaufman,James A. Levine,Robert H. Brey,B. K. Iverson,Shelly K. McCrady,Denny J. Padgett,Michael J. Joyner +6 more
TL;DR: Transfemoral amputees using a microprocessor-controlled knee have significant improvements in gait and balance.

Partial weight-bearing gait using conventional assistive devices
TL;DR: By using a bathroom scale, healthy subjects could be trained to achieve a target goal of 50% PWB with axillary and forearm crutches by using an assistive device and a bathroom Scale.

Energy expenditure and activity of transfemoral amputees using mechanical and microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees.
Kenton R. Kaufman,James A. Levine,Robert H. Brey,Shelly K. McCrady,Denny J. Padgett,Michael J. Joyner +5 more
TL;DR: People ambulating with a microprocessor-controlled knee significantly increased their physical activity during daily life, outside the laboratory setting, and expressed an increased quality of life.

Effect of scapular protraction and retraction on isometric shoulder elevation strength
TL;DR: Movement of the scapula into a protracted or retracted position results in a statistically significant reduction in isometric shoulder elevation strength as measured in this study.
