title: [Normal gait and its changes after total arthroplasty of the lower extremity. Study on 200 subjects of the support phase of the step and its impulse].
abstract: The authors have studied the normal gait of 50 individuals using a dynamometric platform. Measurements have been made of the impulse at each step, the weight bearing phase and the forces transmitted by the foot to the floor. The results have been compared with those obtained from a study of the gait of 150 patients treated by total prostheses (133 hips, 10 knees, 7 ankles). This type of study leads to a better appreciation of operative results.
