The interplanetary and planetary environments are characterized by several intrinsic and induced properties as magnetic fields, waves and instabilites, boundaries, and ionizing radiation components. These features usually evolve on timescales ranging from seconds up to years, mainly controlled by th...
Travelling beyond the solar system. Upto 20% yearly return is a reasonable expectation. Now as the market is cyclic, and at a particular point, you can't decide whether market will be highs or it will be in lows, you need to give a window of opportunity to get expected returns. Generally this window...
Hip dysplasia is an anatomic deformity that causes joint instability and abnormal contact mechanics, which is known to lead to hip pain and early osteoarthritic joint degeneration. Computational modeling using techniques such as discrete element analysis (DEA) offers the opportunity to evaluate intr...
While collagen is believed to be a major passive load bearing structure in muscle, previous work reports a very weak correlation between muscle collagen content and passive stiffness [1,2]. This may result from a lack of appreciation of intramuscular anatomical variations among muscle fibers and con...
The present study evaluates the 3D angle between the joint moment and the joint angular velocity vectors and investigates if the ankle, Chopart and Lisfranc joints are predominantly driven or stabilized during gait. The 3D angle curves show that the three joints adapt a stabilization-resistance conf...
This study examines data collected using an infrared passive marker-based motion capture system and an inertial measurement unit motion capture system and assesses whether the data is comparable across systems. Sensors from both systems were placed on the subjects and data was collected simultaneous...
Hip-related pain can frequently affect young athletic individuals, including football players. To date, no studies have investigated hip biomechanics during running in football players with hip-related pain. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate sagittal and frontal plane hip kinematics and ...
To understand subjective evaluation of an option, various disciplines have quantified the interaction between reward and effort during decision making, producing an estimate of economic utility, namely the subject 'goodness' of an option. However, those same variables that affect the utility of an o...
Question – can the confirmation email be addressed to the first name of the Attendee rather than the User? We have some situations where a user is actually registering someone besides themselves.
Going into the black hole.
Age-related changes to neck strength may contribute to fall-related traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). However, there is limited knowledge on reliable neck strength measuring devices in older adults. This study found a novel neck strength device had excellent intra-rater reliability when testing young...
Animal lower limb muscle-tendon units (MTUs) typically have intramuscular and extramuscular tendons, which are known as aponeuroses and tendons, respectively. Due to their similar passive material properties, both aponeuroses and tendons are often grouped into a single series elastic element that is...
This study assessed the effects of an intrinsic foot muscle (IFM) strengthening program on biomechanical factors associated with the development of plantar fasciitis. Following an 8-week, periodized IFM strengthening protocol, rearfoot and midfoot eversion, medial longitudinal arch deformation, and ...
Spinal fusion surgery combined with interbody fusion cage is an important treatment for lumbar disc herniation, lumbar degenerative joint disease combined with radiculopathy, spondylolisthesis combined radiculopathy, and spinal instability. This study focused on investigating whether pedicle screw t...
A time-series-based classification method (kNN) was used to quantify kinematic changes of a shoe’s roll-over process between two repeated runs in different shoe comfort conditions. Data was collected using a gyroscope attached to the shoe. A significant difference between the achieved classificati...
I understand. If it is too much of a budget constraint for departments, let me know and we'll add further discounts. While we do need to make money to be financially stable, the end goal is to help universities use technology to produce new knowledge. Question – can the confirmation email ...
The present work characterized the variability of postural reactions induced by mechanical vibration of ankle tendons. Posturography measures were obtained with a forceplate on thirty healthy adults. Overall, results denoted a high level of measurement error (intra-subject variability), but good to ...
The Hollowing exercise is part of training regimens to recover dynamic lumbar stability thought the enhancement of deep abdominal muscles function. During exercise execution guidance is usually given, but the intra-session effectiveness is unknown. We compared the thickness of transverse abdominis (...
This study aimed to test whether intramuscular pressure (IMP) represents aging related changes by stimulating the fibular nerve and measuring ankle torque, compound muscle action potential (CMAP), and IMP from TA of healthy young (20-40 years old) and older (60-80 years old) adults. It was found tha...
We investigated the use of shear wave tensiometry to detect modulation of Achilles tendon loading induced via exosuit assistance. Tendon shear wave speed, and hence tendon loading, exhibited systematic variations with walking speed, load carriage, and the timing of active ankle exosuit assistance.
Claims have been made that excessive forearm pronation at foot contact (FC) during a pitch, also known as ‘Tommy John Twist’, causes an increase in elbow varus torque. A sample of 148 professional pitchers were analyzed to investigate the relationship of forearm pronation and varus torque during...
Trunk movements and centre of body mass at the start of gait with 15% of young male subject’s body weights placed in a backpack upper and lower locations on the back were explored using a 3D motion analyser with force plates and EMG for the trunk and lower limbs. The lateral flexion range of the t...
