dc.description.abstract | Frequently, patients who suffer injuries in some lower member require forearm crutches in
order to partially unload weight-bearing. These lesions cause pain in lower limb unloading and their
progression should be controlled objectively to avoid significant errors in accuracy and, consequently,
complications and after effects in lesions. The design of a new and feasible tool that allows us to
control and improve the accuracy of loads exerted on crutches during aided gait is necessary, so
as to unburden the lower limbs. In this paper, we describe such a system based on a force sensor,
which we have named the GCH System 2.0. Furthermore, we determine the validity and reliability
of measurements obtained using this tool via a comparison with the validated AMTI (Advanced
Mechanical Technology, Inc., Watertown, MA, USA) OR6-7-2000 Platform. An intra-class correlation
coefficient demonstrated excellent agreement between the AMTI Platform and the GCH System.
A regression line to determine the predictive ability of the GCH system towards the AMTI Platform
was found, which obtained a precision of 99.3%. A detailed statistical analysis is presented for all the
measurements and also segregated for several requested loads on the crutches (10%, 25% and 50% of
body weight). Our results show that our system, designed for assessing loads exerted by patients on
forearm crutches during assisted gait, provides valid and reliable measurements of loads. | es |
