Association between gait and cognition in an elderly population based sample
Gait disorders and cognitive impairment are common in people over the age of 65. However, there is considerable heterogeneity in cognitive ageing [1], and about 20% of even very old people walk well [2]. This implies that decline in cognition and mobility is not a necessary consequence of aging. Better understanding of gait and cognitive impairment is important in order to identify the drivers of successful ageing. (Source: Gait and Posture)

P 108 – Quantity and quality of the peroneal nerve muscles in leg with chronic ankle instability assessed by ultrasonography
Ultrasonography can assess the muscle quantity (cross-sectional area, CSA) and quality (adipose tissue within the muscle) which are determinant of muscle strength. Few studies measure the peroneal nerve muscles ’ (PNM) quantity and quality with evertor strength. Furthermore, the results of previous studies whether evertor strength decreased or not in legs with chronic ankle instability (CAI) were inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether evertor strength decrease or not in legs w ith CAI and examine the changes in muscle quantity and quality of PNM. (Source: Gait and Posture)

P 157 – Sex and age influence on balance normative data using AMTI AccuSway Plus ACS
Development of balance starts early in life and any disturbance can have serious impact on other motor functions, e.g. gait. During childhood and adolescence balance disturbances can be first signs of serious diseases, e.g. brain tumours, therefore its objective assessment is of clinical importance. In clinical environment the reference values of healthy subjects are needed to properly evaluate possible medical problems. (Source: Gait and Posture)

P 113 – Do unilateral femoral derotation modify controlateral pelvic, hip and foot rotations in patients with cerebral plasy?
In single event multilevel surgery, femoral derotation is commonly performed. When the kinematic deviations are asymmetrical its indication is frequently one-sided. What are the effects of this procedure on the transverse kinematics of the pelvis and on the contralateral hip rotation and foot progression angles? Among 170 children with CP, operated, with at least a clinical gait analysis before and after surgery, 42 having had a unilateral femoral derotation are included. Patients with tibial derotation are excluded. (Source: Gait and Posture)

P 073 - Changes in balance parameters in group of osteogenesis imperfecta
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder, which frequency is estimated as 1 in 10.000 to 20.000. This disease is not uniform – the type of disorder depends on radiographic, clinical and genetic data [1]. Many fractures cause bone deformities, which may result difficulty in moving and standing.

P 088 - Balance of children and adolescents with vertigo symptoms
Vertigo and dizziness are common problems in elderly population, but are also registered in children and adolescents, however caused by different basic diseases than adult cases [1]. Psychological or otolaryngological aspects of the problem were summarized [2]. Balance problem in vertigo was described on a wide age group of Finland ’s population [3], as questionnaire-based research. Posturography is recommended to be golden standard diagnostic methods set for vertigo [4], but literature in that topic is lacking. (Source: Gait and Posture)

P 126 - Quantitative analysis of rowing technique using motion capture system
Motion capture systems are very precise, so they are used for tracking motion of athletes, including rowers [1]. The technique used in rowing activities is extremely important for achieving better results and performance. The quantitative analysis may be useful for improving athetes ’ rowing skills and to indicate their weaknesses that cannot be noticed by a trainer [2]. The obtained 3D data may be used for biomechanical analysis conducted in a motion capture software. (Source: Gait and Posture)

P 167 - Reliability and validity of four-point scale of Thompsons test after Achilles Tendon Rupture
Achilles tendon rupture often leads to decreased activity and physical function both after surgical and non-surgical treatment (Tengman, 2013; Willy, 2017). Optimal treatment as well as intensity of rehabilitation is still debated (Holm, 2015). In the rehabilitation the relevance and importance of physical examination tests, including the Thompsons test, to evaluate healing and function is not clear (Todorov, 2015). There are limited reports on the reliability of the tests and to our knowledge objective quantification of Thompsons test is lacking. (Source: Gait and Posture)

P 168 - Improvement in plantarflexion at Thompsons test after Achilles tendon rupture
Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) often leads to decreased activity and physical function (Tengman 2013, Willy 2017). In recent years more attention has been directed towards the role of rehabilitation, although the optimal rehabilitation program is still debated (Holm 2015, Frankewycs 2017). It has been suggested that the rehabilitation can be divided into four different phases where the progress to next phase should be based on time from injury and recovery of the individual patient (DJO Publications 2014).
