Background/Objectives: This study aimed to examine how uncertainties in inertial properties and minimal sets of inertial parameters (MSIP) affect inverse-dynamics simulations of high-acceleration sport movements and to demonstrate that applying MSIP...
Adductor strains are prevalent injuries in professional soccer. The purpose of this study is to identify further evidence of characteristics associated with adductor injury. MLS and other worldwide leagues have differing styles of play warranting fur...
Background/Objectives: Despite widespread use in clinical and athletic settings, validity of handgrip strength (HGS) as a surrogate for maximal strength remains debated, particularly regarding how testing posture influences its predictive value. More...
Background/Objectives: Mechanical compression of the median nerve is believed to be responsible for idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) due to fibrosis of the subsynovial connective tissue (SSCT). Vascular consequences have also been observed in...
Background/Objectives: This study compared step-by-step kinematic measurements from an infrared contact mat (IR-mat) and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) system during bounding and single leg jumping for speed, while also evaluating the validity of...
Purpose: This study explores the impact of take-off distance on hurdling and interval running kinematics in sprint hurdles, recognizing its potential to improve performance. While beginners often use shorter take-off distances, a deeper understanding...
Bone metastases occur when cancer cells from the primary tumor spread to the bones. The incidence of bone metastases is increasing due to the longer survival of patients with primary tumors, driven by advances in cancer treatments. In patients with m...
Background/Objectives: One potential risk factor that remains especially contentious in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury literature is the role of neuromuscular fatigue in ACL injury risk. Therefore, the purposes of this review are (i) to...
Background: Linear methods of analysis of variability are concerned with the magnitude of variability and often consider deviations from a central mean as errors. The utilization of nonlinear tools to examine variability allows for the exploration an...
Background/Objectives: Computational models are increasingly used in orthopedic research, such as in the context of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, the models’ actual integration in clinical practice is far from routine. Major limitatio...
Introduction: Management strategies for stage II tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction are centered on tendon transfers and osteotomies. One of the most commonly used tendon transfers is flexor digitorum longus (FDL) tendon to navicular, but its supe...
Background: Previous literature has demonstrated that footstep sounds can be related to the unique gait pattern of individuals. This paper investigates the potential of using footstep sounds as a diagnostic tool in gait analysis. Methods: Fifteen par...
Background/Objectives: Asymmetries in force production, characterized by vertical ground reaction forces (VGRFs), during lower-limb bilateral movements such as deadlifting and squatting, are considered biomechanical risk factors for injury. Real-time...
Background/Objectives: Single-leg hops are used to determine return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Adult studies support the use of single-leg vertical hop (SLVH) due to higher power generation from knee extensors co...
Background/Objectives: The movement and vibration of the body’s soft tissues during dynamic exercise are mechanisms that attenuate force from ground impacts. However, repeated exposure to such vibrations over time can contribute to the developm...
Background/Objectives: Three-dimensional motion analysis is often used to evaluate improvements or decrements in movement patterns in athletes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability of joint flexion/extension angles of the pitchin...
This study aimed to validate the effectiveness of the Articulation Motion Assessment System (AMAS), a joint kinematic evaluation system, for clinical applications. AMAS enables synchronised measurement using neurophysiological indicators, overcoming...
Background/Objectives: To examine the combined effects of sleep quality, dual tasks, and load carriage on postural stability. Methods: Twenty-three university student participants (12 males, ages: 24.6 ± 6.1 year) completed the Pittsburgh Slee...
