Abstract: Previous literature suggests the sticking region, the transition period between an early peak concentric velocity to a local minimum, in barbell movements may be the reason for failing repeated submaximal and maximal squats. ...

Abstract: Research examining gait biomechanics of persons with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has grown significantly in recent years and has demonstrated that persons with ASD walk at slower self-selected speeds and with shorter ...

Abstract: The squat is an essential exercise for strengthening lower body musculature. Although squats are frequently employed to improve lower extremity strength and neuromuscular control, differences between sexes and slight ...

Abstract: Knee joint contact forces are commonly estimated via surrogate measures (i.e., external knee adduction moments or musculoskeletal modeling). Despite its capabilities, modeling is not optimal for clinicians or persons with ...

Abstract: Static frontal plane tibiofemoral alignment is an important factor in dynamic knee alignment and knee adduction moments (KAMs). However, little is known about the relationship between alignment and compartment contact ...

Abstract: Although predicted hip joint center (HJC) locations are known to vary widely between functional methods, no previous investigation has detailed functional method-dependent hip and knee biomechanics. The purpose of this ...

Abstract: Alterations of foot rotation angles have successfully reduced external knee adduction moments during walking and running. However, reductions in knee adduction moments may not result in reductions in knee joint reaction ...
