Lower Extremity Kinematics During Walking and Elliptical Training in Individuals With and Without Traumatic Brain Injury

Abstract

Movement patterns of participants with TBI were similar to, but more variable than, those of comparison participants while using both the treadmill and the elliptical trainer. If incorporation of complex movements similar to walking is a goal of rehabilitation, elliptical training is a reasonable alternative to treadmill-based training.Video Abstract available (see Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A65) for more insights from the authors.
