Peroneus Longus Muscle Activation Pattern During Gait Cycle in Athletes Affected by Functional Ankle Instability A Surface Electromyographic Study
Valter Santilli,Massimo Frascarelli,Marco Paoloni,Flaminia Frascarelli,Filippo Camerota,Luisa De Natale,Fabio De Santis +6 more
TL;DR: A statistically significant decrease in peroneus longus muscle activity was found in the injured side compared with the uninjured side, which may result in reduced protection against lateral sprains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hip and knee joint rotations differ between patients with medial and lateral knee osteoarthritis: gait analysis of 30 patients and 15 controls.
TL;DR: The motions and moments in the hip and knee in female patients on the waiting list for knee prosthesis surgery with medial or lateral osteoarthritis were compared with a control group and an association between presence of lateral OA of the knee and the biomechanics of the hip joint was found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex differences in whole body gait kinematics at preferred speeds
TL;DR: Sex differences in whole body gait kinematics from a large sample of subjects walking at self selected speeds showed that in the frontal plane, women walked with greater pelvic obliquity than men, but exhibited a more stable torso and head.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gait patterns after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction are related to graft type.
TL;DR: There are graft-specific differences in knee biomechanics after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction that appear to relate to the donor site.
Journal ArticleDOI
The up and down bobbing of human walking: a compromise between muscle work and efficiency
TL;DR: This work investigated the mechanics, energetics, muscle efficiency and optimization of human walking by decreasing and increasing the vertical CM displacement (flat and bouncy walking) in comparison to normal walking at six speeds and showed that not only do humans bob up and down in normal walking to save energy via a pendulum‐like mechanism but also to make their muscles work efficiently.

Measurement of lower extremity kinematics during level walking
TL;DR: The relatively small number of body surface markers used in the VICON system render it easy to implement for use in routine clinical gait evaluations and should be a useful reference for describing and comparing pathologic gait patterns.

Principles of dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the Lagrange Equations are used to model the dynamics of a rigid body and a system of parts of a particle system with respect to the velocity of a single particle.

Justification of triaxial goniometer for the measurement of joint rotation.
TL;DR: Considering all factors in joint functional evaluation, the modified triaxial goniometer is a useful and effective method to provide simple real time three-dimensional angular motion measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
The anthropometry of the manual work space for the seated subject
TL;DR: This paper is an exploration of the space-geometry of hand motions as they relate to young men in the seated posture primarily in functional anthropometry, but the information derived should have practical use in improving the design of work areas.

Walking patterns of men with parkinsonism.
TL;DR: Interrupted-light photography was used to record the simultaneous displacement patterns of multiple body segments of 44 patients with parkinsonism during free-speed and fast walking to quantitatively characterize their gait peculiarities.
