Lower limb electromygraphy and kinematics of neuropathic diabetic patients during real‐life activities: Stair negotiation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: In this study we investigate the influence of diabetic neuropathy (DN) on lower limb electromyography (EMG) and kinematics during stair negotiation. METHODS: Forty-six adults (healthy and DN) performed stair ascent and descent tasks. Kinematic and EMG data were assessed unilaterally. RESULTS: DN patients had lower ankle dorsiflexion while ascending and plantarflexion while descending. This reduced dorsiflexion compromises proper ankle and knee positions necessary for an efficient lifting action by the vastus lateralis (VL). The mechanical disadvantage of VL at the beginning of the stance triggered prolonged VL activation at the end of stair ascent. In stair descent, DN patients showed lower tibialis anterior activity in the early phase that can potentially impair the mechanism of impact absorption when the forefoot contacts the step. CONCLUSIONS: Our results reveal an adaptive motor strategy in DN patients to overcome the challenge of stair ascent, which promoted more biomechanical deficits.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
