Assessment of aerobic capacity and walking economy of transfemoral amputees
Gjøvaag, Terje; Starholm, Inger Marie; Mirtaheri, Peyman; Wiig Hedde, Fride; Skjetne, Katrine (Prosthetics and orthotics international;, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-06-24)Background: Studies of the maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) of transfemoral amputees have mostly used protocols that activate a relatively small muscle mass. Consequently, transfemoral amputee VO2max may be systematically ... -
Carbohydrate and Fat Oxidation in Persons With Lower Limb Amputation During Walking With Different Speeds
Gjøvaag, Terje; Mirtaheri, Peyman; Starholm, Inger Marie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Studies suggest that the energy expenditure of healthy persons (control) during walking with the preferred walking speed in steady-state conditions is dominated by fat oxidation. Conversely, carbohydrate and ... -
Effects of knee orthoses on kinesthetic awareness and balance in healthy individuals
Ramstrand, Nerrolyn; Gjøvaag, Terje; Starholm, Inger Marie; Rusaw, David (Journal of Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies Engineering;Volume 6, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-02)Introduction: Conflicting evidence exists regarding the effects of knee orthoses on proprioception. One belief is that pressure applied by orthoses heightens kinesthetic awareness and that this affects balance. This study ... -
Energy expenditure of transfemoral amputees during floor and treadmill walking with different speeds
Starholm, Inger Marie; Mirtaheri, Peyman; Kapetanovic, Nihad; Versto, Tarjei; Skyttemyr, Gjermund; Westbye, Fredrik Tobias; Gjøvaag, Terje (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background: Walking energy expenditure, calculated as the percent utilization of the maximal aerobic capacity, is little investigated in transfemoral amputees. Objectives: Compare the energy expenditure of healthy ... -
Energy expenditure of transfemoral amputees walking on a horizontal and tilted treadmill simulating different outdoor walking conditions
Starholm, Inger Marie; Gjøvaag, Terje; Mengshoel, Anne Marit (Prosthetics and Orthotics International;34 (2), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-06)Background and aim: Transfemoral amputees often report that walking on tilted pavements or in terrain with the prosthesis on the highest side is quite strenuous. This study investigates the energy expenditure of transfemoral ...
