The purposes of this study was to investigate the arch supporting effects of the Low-Dye taping with elastic tape on the healthy adults with pronated foot. Secondary, we also observed whether the supporting effect can last till the end of the exercise. Foot arch indices such as vertical navicular he...
Abnormal gait biomechanics, specifically excessive hip adduction and contralateral pelvic drop, have been implicated as a potential cause of overuse injuries in female runners. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether endurance or strength of the hip abductor musculature had a stronger r...
Ankle injuries are a frequent setback to athletes across a range of sports and identifying risk factors or groups at greater risk of injury is important in preventing such injuries. The purpose was to identify sex, leg and sport differences in ankle joint angles and moments during common athletic mo...
Mild fatigue during activities of daily living may have a greater impact on muscle function in older versus younger adults. Multi-muscle pattern (MMP) analysis was performed combining a wavelet transform and principal component analysis (PCA) to discriminate contributions of principal patterns (PP) ...
Interventions to prevent falls have been a major focus of research in recent years. We propose that older adults can improve performance in common clinical measures of balance by performing a lateral stepping training. Fourteen older adults aged 65+ underwent a six-week lateral stepping training 3-d...
The energetic cost of muscle force production depends on the contraction type. For example, during mid stance of human walking, the calf muscles show relatively isometric fascicle behaviour, which is thought to be one reason why human walking is highly economical. As fascicle behaviour of the knee e...
Upper limb kinematics may reflect the higher rate of rotator cuff injuries in breast cancer survivors (BCS) after treatment. Motion of BCS and controls was evaluated during functional tasks (FTs). BCS with impingement pain demonstrated lower scapular upward rotation, humeral abduction, and humeral i...
The aim of this study is to quantitatively compare threedimensional (3D) shape variations in the talus and calcaneus within individuals with unilateral CAI and healthy controls. Statistical shape models (SSM) of the talus and calcaneus were built based on the mixed data of 26 patients with CAI (mean...
