Chronic lower limb ischemia significantly impairs the everyday functioning of the patient as it progresses. Patients complain of the inability to walk longer distances, climb stairs or walk briskly. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of chronic lower limb ischemia on the long-term results measured using the Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ), as well as to establish a relationship between our results and selected variables, i.e. BMI (Body Mass Index), ICD (Intermittent Claudication Index), ACD (Absolute Claudication Index) and gender. Materials and Methods. The research group consisted of 50 individuals diagnosed with lower limb ischemia stage IIb according to the Fontaine classification. All of the patients experienced intermittent claudication after walking a distance of less than 200 m. The mean age was 64,4±6,0 years for men (n=38) and 62,7±6,9 years for women (n=12). BMI for both sexes was 27,1±4,1 kg/m². The study used the WIQ questionnaire, which consists of 21 items and evaluates walking speed, walking distance and stair climbing. In order to obtain information concerning gender, age and BMI of the patients, an original survey was created and distributed. In addition, the patients were evaluated using the treadmill stress test, which helps to determine the severity of claudication among patients. Results. Our research showed no correlation between the WIQ score and the gender of the patient. A statistically significant correlation was found between ICD, ACD and WIQ scores (rho=0,760, rho=0,770). No relationship was observed between the BMI and WIQ score (p=0,612). Scores in the individual WIQ domains strongly correlated with the total score obtained in the questionnaire. Conclusions. The WIQ questionnaire proved to be a reliable tool for assessing motor function and disorders in patients with chronic lower limb ischemia. The results of the treadmill stress test complied with the score of the questionnaire. There was no correlation between the WIQ score and gender, as well as with the BMI of the patients.

Purpose. In this study, the effect of added weights on the various force and time related characteristics of vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) during the last five steps prior to walk-to-run transition was studied. Basic procedures. Experimental set up consisted of a force platform embedded treadmill. Sixteen college students performed experimental trials by carrying 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% of their body weight. During each trial, after walking for about 30 seconds the speed of the treadmill was increased manually at a rate of 0.089 m/s/s (0.2 miles/hour) until the participant started running. Main findings. A significant interaction (weights × steps) was observed for the first peak of VGRF. The trough, second peak, impulse, and rate of force development of VGRF increased with added weights. During the last five walking steps, most of VGRF parameters changed in a nonlinear fashion. Conclusions. Based on the behavior of VGRF parameters and manually recorded preferred transition speed values, we argue that the added weights would reduce the walk-to-run transition speed. We further speculate that a combination of transition determinants actively participate in the reorganization process during the last five walking steps, prompting the gait transition.

This paper is an ethnographic study of everyday walking practice in the city. The research was conducted in 2014-2015 in selected streets of Brno city and was based on a hybrid method of shared walking (go-along) coupled with observations and semi-structured interviews. As urban walking is recognized as a significant mode of travel, this paper aims to expand existing knowledge by contributing qualitative data. The key influence is the work of Michel de Certeau (1984) who understands walking as a practice of everyday life. Everyday walking helps shape physical spaces and this subsequently affects human behavior. In this article I will discuss how people relate to walking, how they act in urban space and what importance they attach to their behavior. Another aim is to ascertain how pedestrians behave while performing their everyday routine and how they interact with drivers and cyclists.

It is well established nowadays the benefits that physical activity can have on the health of individuals. Walking is considered a fundamental method of movement and using a backpack is a common and economical manner of carrying load weight. Nevertheless, the shock wave produced by the impact forces when carrying a backpack can have detrimental effects on health status. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate differences in the accelerations placed on males and females whilst carrying different loads when walking. Twenty nine sports science students (16 males and 13 females) participated in the study under 3 different conditions: no weight, 10% and 20% body weight (BW) added in a backpack. Accelerometers were attached to the right shank and the centre of the forehead. Results showed that males have lower accelerations than females both in the head (2.62 ± 0.43G compared to 2.83 + 0.47G) and shank (1.37 ± 0.14G compared to 1.52 ± 0.15G; p<0.01). Accelerations for males and females were consistent throughout each backpack condition (p>0.05). The body acts as a natural shock absorber, reducing the amount of force that transmits through the body between the foot (impact point) and head. Anthropometric and body mass distribution differences between males and females may result in women receiving greater impact acceleration compared to men when the same load is carried.

Obesity is blamed for over 2.8 million annual deaths all over the world with increasing prevalence of related comorbidities, including metabolic (e.g. diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension) and non-metabolic disorders (e.g. cancer, stroke, depression, polycystic ovary syndrome, fat liver disease, glomerulopathy, bone fragility etc.) The aim of the study was to describe the causes and remedies of obesity. There are two primary causes for the increase in obesity: lack of an active lifestyle and poor nutrition. Fortunately, inactivity and poor nutrition are causes that can be altered through intervention. The PA based on walking in duration of 5 months were used in subjects with BMI>30kg.m-1. The PA was controlled in 192 middle age women, 67 men of the same age, and 58 women seniors with help the pedometer Omron HJ720IT and energy content was controlled by Caltrac, and by relationship between speed of walking and VO2. VO2peak was improved from 13.2±2.1% in women to 15.1±2.4% in men, and by 13.0±2.7% in senior women. Similarly was altered the motor performance – maximal speed of walking on the treadmill about 11.3±2.6% in women and16.2±3.1% in men, and by 10.8±2.6% in senior women. %BF was decreased by 7.2±1.9% in women and by 6.5±2.0% in men, and by 6.7±2.4% in senior women. Together with these variables were significantly improved the predispositions for physical and workload evaluated by ECM/BCM coefficient (6.8±2.5% in women, 7.9±3.1% in men, and 8.5±3.0% in senior women). We may concluded that walking with the mean energy content of 1500kcal.week-1 (9430 ± 840steps.day-1)in females and men of middle age, and energy content about 1000 kcal.week-1 (6930 ± 610steps.day-1) in senior women is able to significantly reduce the overweight and/or obesity and an improve actual fitness state in subjects without regular movement regime. Therefore, the chance of success in reducing the effects of hypokinesia have only those PA, which are cheap, safe, well manageable and easily available for sale in the times and conditions, complying with the intervened individuals.

Purpose. Fatigue has been pointed as a fall risk in the elderly; however, the effects of prolonged gait on neuromuscular recruitment and on its pattern remain unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of prolonged gait on neuromuscular recruitment levels and spatial-temporal gait variables. Methods. Eight healthy older women (age: 72.63 ± 6.55 years) walked at their preferred walking speed for twenty minutes on a treadmill. The Root Mean Square (RMS) from the vastus-lateralis, femoral biceps, tibialis anterior and lateral gastrocnemius muscles were determined at the first and last minute of the test during the moments of Heel Strike (HS), Terminal Stance and Terminal Swing (TS). In addition, coactivation in the knee and ankle as well as the stride cadence and length were measured in the test. The two RMS data (taken at the first and last minute) were compared by means of a Student's t-test. Results. Twenty minutes of walking induced fatigue in the subjects, as observed through an increase in RMS, notably during the HS and TS. Coactivation was also influenced by the prolonged gait test. The only gait phase where a risk of falling was enhanced was the HS. Nonetheless, subjects developed strategies to maintain a safe motor pattern, which was evidenced by an increase in stride length and a decrease in stride cadence. Conclusion. Tests lasting just twenty minutes on a treadmill were enough to induce fatigue in older adults. However, the level of fatigue was not enough to present a danger or fall risk to elderly individuals.

This paper investigates the themes of walking and wandering in Paul Leppin’s novel Severins Gang in die Finsternis by analysing their occurrence and aesthetic connotation. The act of walking and the exploration of urban landscape are strongly present in the novel, which is set in Prague and is characterised by several depictions of the milieu; therefore, the text has been analysed from this angle in numerous previous studies, mainly mentioning the elements of flanerie appearing in the narration. The present study discusses the problematic aspects in defining the protagonist of the novel as flaneur, suggesting alternative interpretations that can describe the aesthetic experience of Severin’s walking more exhaustively. The analysis mainly follows Francesco Careri’s research on the aesthetics of walking, which are summarized in his work Walkscapes. Walking as Aesthetic Practice. Following the same methodological approach, the paper also analyses occurrences of the act of walking other than Severin’s walkabouts, focusing especially on the presence of processions throughout the text.

Universe reverberates with steps. Once steps fall silent, the world reaches its end. Beginning with this quotation from Vasilij Rozanov we try to investigate walking and its various modalities which constitute also modalities of thinking. Reading Nietzsche's dedication to walking and nomadic lifestyle, we understand walking, "gehen", as a specific harmony achieved between body and thought as well as between body and its situatedness. It is a peculiar manner of walking, the irrationality of Chaplin's or Groucho Marx's gait, that marks a point of crisis in the systematic structure of the organization of Western society.

Educational trails are marked tourist trails placed in naturally or culturally remarkable places where selected significant phenomena and objects are specifically explained. On the most general level, we can understand educational trails as an expression of a modernist relationship to the natural and cultural heritage. The oldest educational trails were built in Germany and the USA in the 1920s and 1930s, the oldest Czech educational trails date from the late 1960s. After 1990, resp. 2000 we can observe, due to the strong wave of new regionalism and environmentalism in the Czech Republic and the mass support of building educational trails from various subsidiary programs, an unusual boom in building educational trails. Their number on our territory can be estimated at almost 1000. Academic attention that has been devoted to the educational trails so far can be described as quite inadequate. The study is therefore, on one hand, introduction into the study of educational trails and, on the other hand, demonstration of one of the possible interpretative approaches to this phenomenon through a case study focused on the content of two trails in central and western Bohemia. The initial method of the study is content analysis (or comparison of content analyzes) of relevant educational trails. The aim is both to verify the „truth“ of the facts presented on the trails, and to find out what role they play or can play in identifying and perceiving cultural (especially historical) and natural phenomena by tourists and other „users“ of these trails. In the study, we try to verify the hypothesis of a different concept of the presentation of historical events and historical cultural landscape in the areas affected by the transfer of the German-speaking population after Second World War and traditionally Czech inland areas where the transfer did not take place. On the theoretical level, the contribution is based mainly on the critical epistemological positions of the anthropology of landscape and historical ethnology, historical and ethnological study of memory and partly of the recent ethnological works devoted to the relationship of tourism and historical memory in Central Eastern Europe.

Wprowadzenie: Sposób chodu kobiet i mężczyzn jest od dawna postrzegany jako różny, jednak stosunkowo niedługo istnieje możliwość wykonania dokładnych pomiarów dających precyzyjne informacje na temat tych różnic. Stworzenie oddzielnych przedziałów norm chodu dla kobiet i mężczyzn mogłoby pomóc w diagnostyce, profilaktyce i terapii zaburzeń lokomocji. Cel: Praca przedstawia przegląd dostępnej literatury na temat chodu zdrowych dorosłych kobiet i mężczyzn, w celu wykazania czy istnieją naukowe podstawy do stworzenia oddzielnych przedziałów wartości norm dla chodu w zależności od płci. Metody: Przeszukano elektroniczne bazy danych PubMed, Web of Science i Science Direct stosując hasła ‚gait’, ‚sex’, ‚gender’, ‚men’, ‚women’, ‚male’, ‚female’. Kryteria włączenia obejmowały: artykuł był dostępny w języku angielskim, artykuł zawierał informacje dotyczące osób zdrowych, w badaniu analizowano biomechanikę chodu, w badaniu porównywano wartości dla obu płci, badanie obejmowało osoby dorosłe. Jeżeli w piśmiennictwie wyszukanych prac pojawiały się artykuły spełniające kryteria włączenia były one dołączane do przeglądu. Wyniki: Kryteria włączenia spełniało 12 prac. Po przejrzeniu abstraktów, a następnie pełnych tekstów pozostawiono 8 prac, 4 wyłączono ze względu na nie stosowanie powszechnych parametrów biomechanicznych lub badanie biomechaniki chodu do celów innych niż temat przeglądu (badanie ortez). Wnioski: Istnieją różnice w parametrach kinematycznych kobiet i mężczyzn podczas chodu dla miednicy i stawu biodrowego w płaszczyźnie czołowej i prawdopodobnie w płaszczyźnie strzałkowej dla stawu skokowego. Zalecane jest stworzenie oddzielnych przedziałów norm dla kobiet i mężczyzn.

Introduction: Men and women are claimed to walk differently- with modern techniques we are able to quantify gait parameters and establish whether those perceived dissimilarities are supported by precise measurements. Creating separate normative values for men and women may help in gait disturbances diagnosis, prevention and therapy. Objectives: We review available studies on normal locomotion in adult men and women, to clarify if there is scientific evidence to create separate normative values of normal gait according to gender. Methods: Potentially relevant articles were identified with an electronic search of PubMed, Web of Science and Science Direct. Combination of keywords ‘gait’, ‘sex’, ‘gender’, ‘men’, ‘women’, ‘male’, ‘female’ were used. Articles were included if they met following criteria: article was written in English, the article contained information about non-pathological subjects, the study analyzed biomechanics of walking, the article compared metrics of both sexes, the study included data for adults. If additional papers were identified from cited references and met the inclusion criteria they were incorporated into the catalog of references. Results: The inclusion criteria was met by 12 articles. After reviewing abstracts and full-text articles 8 were included and 4 were excluded due to not applying common gait biomechanics parameters or studying gait biomechanics for purposes not connected to the review’s topic. Conclusions: There are differences between males’ and females’ gait kinematic values for coronal plane pelvis and hip movement and possibly in sagittal plane ankle movement. Creating separate normative values is recommended.

Celem pracy jest ocena skuteczności fizjoterapii rozszerzonej o różne formy treningu marszowego na bieżni u osób starszych z obniżoną sprawnością fizyczną i zaburzeniami równowagi w przebiegu osteoporozy. Badaniem objęto 9 mężczyzn i 21 kobiet w wieku 60-80 lat. Pacjentów podzielono losowo na dwie równe grupy (kontrolną i badawczą). W grupie kontrolnej zastosowano trening chodu do przodu na bieżni ruchomej, a w grupie badawczej trening chodu do tyłu. Jako narzędzie badawcze wykorzystano testy funkcjonalne, m.in.: Tinetti, Functional Reach Test, Get Up and Go oraz badanie momentu siły mięśni czworogłowych stawów kolanowych. Wyniki badań wskazują, że trening chodu do tyłu na bieżni ruchomej w istotny sposób wpływa na poprawę sprawności fizycznej osób starszych i może być specyficzną i skuteczną formą kształtowania ich równowagi ciała.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of physiotherapy consisting of various forms of gait training on a treadmill in elderly patients with reduced physical fitness and with balance disorders. The examination group consisted of 9 men and 21 women aged 60-80 years and they were randomly divided into two groups (control and test). The gait exercises on a treadmill were based on walking forward in the control group and on walking backward in the test group. The following tests were employed for the purpose of the research: Tinetti test, Functional Reach Test, Get Up and Go Test. The strength of quadriceps muscles of the knee joints was examined as well. The research results show that backward walking on the treadmill significantly influences balance and physical fitness in elderly people and it may be an effective way of improving balance in the elderly.

W swoim artykule autorka opisuje, w jaki sposób piesze wędrówki przyczyniły się do powstania jej powieści Call of the Undertow wydanej w 2013. Nawiązując również do swojej wcześniejszej książki – Doubling Back: Ten Paths Trodden in Memory, pokazuje, że powrót na znane już szlaki może stać się inspiracją do powstania dzieła z pogranicza „wspomnień, trawelogu i literackiej medytacji”. W obu książkach Cracknell w złożony sposób przygląda się przyrodzie, historii społecznej, lokalnym społecznościom i ich wewnętrznym układom, przyjmując w swoich książkach metody badawcze, które wyjaśnia w niniejszym artykule. Fascynują ją światy graniczne i odkrywanie jednostkowych historii kobiet, które mają odwagę podważać zasadność granic i podziałów. Dla Cracknell, ruch jest niezbędnym elementem w procesie twórczym, a w Doubling Back staje się on wręcz głównym tematem jej rozważań. W „Chodząc w kółko: Krajobrazowe opowieści”, autorka zadaje pytanie o rodzaj tekstu, który pozwala na bardziej cielesne doświadczenie podróżnicze, zastanawiając się również, czy czytelnik sam powinien być wędrowcem, aby lepiej i pełniej zrozumieć relacje z odbywanych przez innych podróżników pieszych wypraw.

EN

Using the example of her novel, Call of The Undertow, published in 2013, Linda Cracknell writes about how repeated walks in a new place rich with possibility resulted in a fictional narrative out of observation and sensation. She also draws on her non-fiction book, Doubling Back: Ten Paths Trodden in Memory, a book described as a combination of ‘memoir, travelogue and literary meditation’, inspired by re-treading former journeys on foot taken by herself or by others.Both books have involved a ‘multiple gaze’ across nature, social history, communities and inner lives, and share some creative methods. In both she’s attracted to liminal worlds, exploration and often to women who challenge boundaries. Motion is necessary to this writer’s imaginative writing, but in Doubling Back, the motion has itself become the subject. For the writer, the craft is similar but fiction feels a greater transformation of the material. For the reader, which kind of text provides a more visceral experience of having travelled herself, and is it necessary for the reader to be a walker in order to fully engage with accounts of journeys on foot?

Purpose: Nordic Walking (NW) is a sport that has a number of benefits as a rehabilitation method. It is performed with specially designed poles and has been often recommended as a physical activity that helps reduce the load to limbs. However, some studies have suggested that these findings might be erroneous. Study aim. The aim of this paper was to compare the kinematic, kinetic and dynamic parameters of lower limbs between Natural Walking (W) and Nordic Walking (NW) at both low and high walking speeds. Methods: The study used a registration system, BTS Smart software and Kistler platform. Eleven subjects walked along a 15-metre path at low (below 2 m⋅s–1) and high (over 2 m⋅s–1) walking speeds. The Davis model was employed for calculations of kinematic, kinetic and dynamic parameters of lower limbs. Results: With constant speed, the support given by Nordic Walking poles does not make the stroke longer and there is no change in pelvic rotation either. The only change observed was much bigger pelvic anteversion in the sagittal plane during fast NW. There were no changes in forces, power and muscle torques in lower limbs. Conclusions: The study found no differences in kinematic, kinetic and dynamic parameters between Natural Walking (W) and Nordic Walking (NW). Higher speeds generate greater ground reaction forces and muscle torques in lower limbs. Gait parameters depend on walking speed rather than on walking style.

Purpose. To evaluate gait asymmetry during obstacle crossing by young and elderly adults performing normal and dual-task gait. Methods. Ten healthy young adults and ten elderly adults with mild cognitive impairment performed a gait protocol by stepping over a foam obstacle during normal gait and while performing a secondary task (Stroop task). Sagittal kinematics of the lead and trail limbs were analyzed. Statistical procedures involved analysis of variance and t tests at a significance of 0.05. Results. Many of the kinematic variables presented a main effect for group (young adults vs. elderly adults), where the elderly featured poorer gait performance. It was observed that gait velocity during obstacle crossing in normal and dual-task gait was similar between the preferred and non-preferred limbs in both the young and elderly. However, the elderly were slower during normal and dual-task gait. A main effect for the dual-task condition was observed. Kinematic asymmetries for obstacle crossing were more frequent in the elderly and especially during the dual-task condition. Conclusions. The results suggest that the elderly may require more compensatory adjustments after crossing an obstacle. The asymmetries observed among the elderly may contribute to higher risk of falling during perturbed gait.

The « great detention » analysed by Michel Foucault shows the fear societies have of wanderers and tramps. During the wholeclassical period, political and religious elites try to lock up people who don’t have neither home nor work, thinking that they are a danger to society’s order. Arts and literature represent this threat, reinforcing the negativity of wandering and mobility in minds. However, there is a time in French history leading to question this doxa. A political revolution turns these representations round. The French Revolution changes the camp of suspicion towards wandering. Starting from 1789, old elites, ironically, find themselves out in the streets with nothing. These people, the Émigrés, are the ones creating literature during the revolutionary period. This phenomenonaffects writing at this time, and arises ethical and aesthetic questions. The texts written in exile trying to answer these questions create a new sensibility which is going to influence the minds of the 19th century.

In this paper a new idea of description and dynamic analysis of a man walking apparatus. Own mathematical model of a man walking apparatus in the space state was presented. Method of phase plane by using ,,phase effect of diagram” was used. During own investigation of young and old subjects were choosen from monograph elaborated by very famous Canadian investigator D.A. Winter (Winter, 1991, 2009). A new hypothesis about using a small phase loops for assessment of neuro-muscular coordination system of a man was proposed.
