Apresenta um olhar propondo o uso do Walking Tour (WT) como forma de preservação da história e do patrimônio de uma cidade, inserindo-o como uma ferramenta de motivação, consciência e conhecimento, em escolas, associações e grupos organizados, podendo dessa maneira estimular a identidade entre cidadão e cidade. O uso do WT como instrumento pedagógico aparece no trabalho como um eficaz recurso educacional do professor para despertar no aluno a curiosidade necessária acerca de sua cultura e sua cidade. O trabalho propõe ao mesmo tempo a utilização do WT no turismo cultural como argumento ao guia de turismo e como forma de gerar trabalho, divisas e melhorias para a economia local.

Full textAlthough coordination has been identified as a fundamental element necessary for the successful achievement of walking, this aspect of gait has yet to be embraced into instrumented gait analysis, perhaps in part due to the lack of a normative reference and unfamiliarity of mathematical methods that are best suited to capture this essential behavior. Therefore, this work focused on expanding clinical gait analysis techniques by validating nonlinear methods that describe the influence of neurological control on the musculoskeletal system. This body of work investigated the coordination dynamics during gait in both prospective and retrospective subjects free of gait pathology, subjects with spastic cerebral palsy, and subjects with a lower limb amputation using motion capture and mathematical models to help elucidate the complexities of gait and enhance therapeutic interventions. This investigation quantified coordination strategies employed by an unimpaired subject when presented with various walking conditions and challenges mimicking various inhibitions associated with performing the task of swing limb advancement. Two novel indices of coordination dynamics were created to provide a concise metric and ease their inclusion into future research applications. The first normative reference dataset of these coordination measures was created from a large cohort of unimpaired subjects. While there is presently not a gold standard method for quantifying coordination during gait, the exciting correlations between the proposed measures and select clinical performance tasks indicate the coordination measures quantify essential inter-segmental coordination dynamics of walking. The theoretical pendular software model created shows swing limb advancement is not a purely passive motion, but instead an actively controlled motion. Comparisons between the various cohorts revealed the proposed measures of coordination are more suitable for characterizing motor control strategies contributing to a gait pattern, quantify organization of individual segments, identify mechanisms of change, and reveal the loci of impairment(s). The proposed measures of coordination dynamics are capable of distinguishing between different gait pathologies and patterns associated with altered limb advancement during the swing period of gait. Results from this multidisciplinary work have the strong potential to directly impact the clinical treatment of persons with aberrant coordination dynamics during gait.

This thesis is an investigation of the neural control of unimpaired human walking. Specifically, this work studied the potential for phase resetting of human walking by analyzing results from treadmill walking experiments. Subjects walked on a treadmill while wearing a robotic device that attaches to the lower leg, which applied 6 Nm torque perturbations to the ankle that acted to plantarflex the ankle. The effect of these perturbations on the stride period was then analyzed to determine the potential for phase resetting of the gait. For the experimental setup used, no phase resetting was found. This was determined by fitting a Fourier series regression to the data and finding very low R² values for all subjects, ranging from 0.04 to 0.10, which implies that no underlying periodic curve exists in the data. This evidence of zero phase resetting is consistent with prior work that indicates some type of kinematic controller is present during walking.

Full textThis study defines and determines the characteristics of super pedestrian trips in Washington, D.C. Super pedestrian trips are defined here as trips greater than the third quartile distance based on data from the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG) Household Travel Survey 2010/2011. In this case, super pedestrian trips are quantified as greater than 0.6 miles; super pedestrians are those completing the trip. A trip is defined as one complete segment of travel (i.e., walking directly from home to the office). Using data from the MWCOG Household Travel Survey 2010/2011, this study determines who makes super pedestrian trips in Washington, D.C. and assesses their socio-demographic characteristics using a linear regression model. The results from the linear regression model show that super pedestrians are likely to be young, low-income, male minorities without driver’s licenses or access to vehicles within the household. Pedestrians traveling the farthest distance may do so only out of necessity. The bulk of current planning and transportation literature focuses on the shortest pedestrian travel distances for trips typically less than one-quarter mile. However, pedestrians are walking greater distances and it is worth understanding from a planning and policy perspective the implications of these trips for livability and design of the urban environment. The core findings from this research contribute to the growing body of research on pedestrian behavior by illuminating the socio-demographic characteristics of those walking the farthest distances.

Stable human locomotion may be described as a non-linear limit cycle oscillator. This claim has been supported through the observation of dynamic entrainment and phase-locking to external mechanical perturbations applied at the ankle. Simple models have been developed in attempts to understand these behaviors, but have been unsuccessful at replicating experimental studies. In this manuscript, an energy-based controller was implemented on a single degree-of-freedom model, adjusting its leading leg angle at heel strike and consequently the energy dissipation of the model. Stochasticity was applied to the controller to simulate the variability which has been observed and quantified in walking. The results indicate that energy control may be responsible for entrainment in human walking, but a revised model may be required to match the experimental coefficients of variation in step duration and velocity.
