Overview

Investigates how 24-hour shifts affect gait in interns, indicating the need for proper rest.

Key Points

  • The research aims to evaluate the effects of 24-hour shifts on interns' gait due to sleep deprivation and recovery periods.
  • Conducted gait analysis before, immediately after, and after 24 hours of rest post-shift
  • Involved 28 interns (10 men, 18 women) in the analysis
  • Recorded sleep duration during the rest periods to assess its impact on gait parameters
  • No significant changes in gait parameters immediately after the shift
  • After rest, right foot rotation and single support line improved, while left foot rotation decreased
  • Daytime sleep duration positively correlated with single support time, while nighttime sleep negatively impacted step width
