Effect of fatigue and gender on kinematics and ground reaction forces variables in recreational runners [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The presence of fatigue has been shown to modify running biomechanics. Overall in terms of gender, women are at lower risk than men for sustaining running-related injuries, although it depends on the factors taken into account.

The influence of equine hoof conformation on the initiation and progression of laminitis
Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 862-871, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Background The health and performance of horses are significantly affected by diseases associated with the hoof. Laminitis is a critical hoof disease that causes pain and, potentially, severe hoof and bone pathology. Objective To generate an equine hoof finite element (FE) model to investigate the impact of normal and toe‐in hoof conformations

Translational Sports Medicine, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 The posterior chain muscles of the lower limb include the hamstrings and triceps surae, along with the Achilles tendon. This study aimed to investigate the acute effects of static stretching exercises commonly used in clinical and training settings on the shear modulus (µ) of these muscles and tendon using Supersonic Shear‐Wave Imaging (SSI ...

Analysis of the Use of a Wind Turbine as an Energy Recovery Device in Transport Systems
Mathematics, 2021 A wind turbine can act as an energy recovery device (ERS) in a comparable way to brakes (regenerative braking). When the velocity of a vehicle changes, the amount of energy related to it also changes.

FallSkip device is a useful tool for fall risk assessment in sarcopenic older community people
International Journal of Older People Nursing, Volume 17, Issue 3, May 2022., 2022 Abstract Purpose Fall prevention is a major health concern for the ageing population. Sarcopenia is considered a risk factor for falls. Some instruments, such as Time Up and Go (TUG), are used for screening risk. The use of sensors has also been shown to be a viable tool that can provide accurate, cost‐effective, and easy to manage assessment of fall ...

Combining Classification and User-Based Collaborative Filtering for Matching Footwear Size
Mathematics, 2021 Size mismatch is a serious problem in online footwear purchase because size mismatch implies an almost sure return. Not only foot measurements are important in selecting a size, but also user preference.

Nucleus Disc Replacement: Design and Material Selection FEA Analysis
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Study Design. We selected the materials and implant design and performed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) studies. Background. Nucleus disc replacements, implanted since 1960, have undergone continuous evolution in materials and designs, but subsidence, extrusion, and in vivo degradation limit widespread use. Aim.
