Plantar flexors are the main engine of walking in healthy adults
Introduction The plantar flexors contribute to the uniqueness of man's walking across bipeds (including apes). This role is achieved in late infancy through neural maturation. This may explain why this mechanism is lost with all corticospinal lesions despite the spared power of plantar flexors in segmental motions. During adult human walking, the plantar flexor muscles at the rear limb, during double stance, are suspected to provide most of the w…
The illness-disease dichotomy and the biological-clinical splitting of medicine
In a recent paper, Sharpe and Greco (2019) argue that some clinical conditions, such as chronic fatigue syndrome (sometimes called myalgic encephalomyelitis), should be treated by altering the patient's experience and response to symptoms without necessarily searching for an underlying cause. As a result, we should allow for the existence of 'illnesses without (underlying) diseases'. Wilshire and Ward (2019) reply that this possibility requires u…
Assessing and Adjusting for Cross-Cultural Validity of Impairment and Activity Limitation Scales Through Differential Item Functioning Within the Framework of the Rasch Model
INTRODUCTION: In Europe it is common for outcome measures to be translated for use in other languages. This adaptation may be complicated by culturally specific approaches to certain tasks; for example, bathing. In this context the issue of cross-cultural validity becomes paramount. OBJECTIVE: To facilitate the pooling of data in international studies, a project set out to evaluate the cross-cultural validity of impairment and activity limitation…
