The aim of this study was to investigate the site- and joint angle- dependence in the elastic properties of the iliotibial band (ITB). The stiffness of ITB was measured on five sites of the right lower limb with nine combinations of hip and knee joint angles using ultrasound shear wave elastography ...
This work examined the performance of a hand-tracking task prior-to and following either wrist flexor or extensor isometric fatigue. Wrist extension and flexion force decreased equally following fatigue. Tracking error was significantly greater immediately following fatigue compared with baseline, b...
In individuals with recurrent low back pain, symptom remission did not result in a return to back-healthy state of trunk control, based on kinematic coordination and muscle activity.
Falls among the elderly (aged ≥ 65) occur frequently and result in high injury and mortality rates. Studying how older adults regulate stepping to maintain lateral balance is critical to understanding and reducing falling events in this population. Here, we compared how healthy young and older adu...
Cortical remodeling was shown to be affected by the type and magnitude of physiological stress.¶ This study investigated the effect of compression vs. tension loading on the morphology, mineral¶ content and stiffness of secondary osteonal bone in the proximal humerus of white-tailed deer.¶ Thirty...
Fracture energy was computed as an objective measure of intra-articular fracture (IAF) severity across multiple joints. Energies were normalized by contact areas to enable comparison of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) rates across joints. There was a highly significant relationship between cont...
Head stabilization has been considered an important variable for motor control strategies, however, is not habitual include it in clinical gait analysis. The research goal of this study was to analyze the stability of the position of the head during the heel strike and toe-off events of the gait cyc...
Stroke is an acute cerebrovascular disease that might cause severe motor function impairment of upper limbs (UL) [1]. Although UL motor function can be improved through effective rehabilitation, deficiencies in fine motor (FM) skills often remain even after patients are discharged from rehabilitatio...
Shear wave tensiometry is a non-invasive approach that enables the in vivo measurement of tendon stress based on wave propagation speed. Here, both transient and standing wave analyses are used to measure wave speed in isolated tendons subjected to cyclic axial loading. Wave speeds increased monoton...
We examined the functional role of intramuscular coherence in relation to changes in spatiotemporal gait parameters during split-belt walking adaptation. We found that corticospinal drive measured by intramuscular coherence in the tibialis anterior muscle changed with adaptation, and that increased ...
