Purpose
• To compare the absolute work method with absolute power method in calculating work for impaired and normal gait, using physiological oxygen consumption measures as verification.

Methodology
• VO2 standing baseline value (Pierrynowski,1980; Stainsby,1980)
• 3 min walking VO2 steady state» speed chosen, then metronome set
• force data collected for a full gait cycle• 2 AMTI force platforms
» data from the first FS was carried over assuming symmetry (Cappozzo et al. 1976)

Work equations
• Absolute Power (AP)– integration of joint
moment x angular velocity (power)
– assumes:
» one muscle per joint
» no elastic storage
» pos. and neg. work equal mechanically
• Absolute Work (AW) – change of instanteous
energy
– location of summation limits energy exchanges
» I.e., if types of energy are separated then summed; between and within exchanges are permitted, but between any two segments

Mechanical Efficiency
• efficiency varies based on these assumptions:– baseline VO2
– value given to negative work
– if internal work is included
– calculation of antisymmetrical movements
– elastic energy storage
– assumption re: biarticular muscles
![Page 11: Internal Work and Oxygen Consumption of Impaired and Normal Walking](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56813d79550346895da75ae1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Mechanical Efficiency
• calculated using AP method– likely overestimates because:
» includes elastic storage twice
» model assumes no intercompensation, • biarticular muscles are not allowed
• negative power at one joint cannot be used to power the neighbouring joint
» Assume negative work = positive work
– all increased Internal work/ O2 cost
![Page 12: Internal Work and Oxygen Consumption of Impaired and Normal Walking](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56813d79550346895da75ae1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Mechanical Efficiency
• calculated using AW method» likely under estimates
– calculates net work vs. produced work
– assumptions of energy transfer limitations contradict Law of Conservation of energy
• I.e., potential to kinetic
– asymmetrical motion does not require energy
– all decreased internal work/ O2 cost

Normal Walking
• Normal walking data is similar to previous data from other published research

Discussion
• Direction of difference: » perhaps humans are optimized for
adaptability rather than efficiency
» LK trials tended to be lower
• induced changes in 3D or rotation not visible to planar analysis (Kerrigan, et al. (1997)
• values similar to other researchers » Winter 1.09 J/kg.m (1979)
» our data: • AW = 1.90 J/kg.m
• AP = 3.05 J/kg.m
![Page 21: Internal Work and Oxygen Consumption of Impaired and Normal Walking](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56813d79550346895da75ae1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Discussion
• Efficiency» obviously > 100% not possible
» subtracting effect of elastic storage, biarticular muscles
» internal work increases, efficiency decreases to about 65-70%
» compared to most efficient engines today: about 60%
![Page 22: Internal Work and Oxygen Consumption of Impaired and Normal Walking](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56813d79550346895da75ae1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Conclusion
• AP IBC seems to indicate that locked knee internal work is less than in the normal case.
• Both AP & AW seem to indicate that locked ankle gait is more efficient than normal
• Binomial test shows that AP method can distinguish between normal and impaired conditions.
• VO2 seems most consistent but not significant

Recommendations
• four or five cameras; increase accuracy
• do a three dimensional analysis; determine if energy lost is in the frontal plane
• use three force plates; increase the accuracy
• have one extreme condition with both ankle and knee of one leg restricted
