Biomechanical Analysis of the Lumbar Spine

min - Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery, 1997
Physiological mobility of the lumbar spine, as a very important feature of this spinal segment biomechanics, has been defined, i.e., physiological instability has been proven on a sample of 35 fresh cadaveric human lumbar spine specimens which were tested in experimental conditions of both centric and eccentric static loads.

Biomechanics and Analysis of Running Gait

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2005
Physical activity, including running, is important to general health by way of prevention of chronic illnesses and their precursors. To keep runners healthy, it is paramount that one has sound knowledge of the biomechanics of running and assessment of running gait.

Biomechanical Analysis of Cervical Distraction

Spine, 1987
A biomechanical analysis of cervical distraction is presented, and a model comparing closed reduction of cervical spine dislocations to spring mechanics is developed. Behavior of a spring may be described as F = k delta x where F = distraction force; delta x = elongation of the spring; and k = spring constant.

Biomechanical Analysis of Lumbosacral Fixation

Spine, 1996
The authors sought to measure the stiffness at the lumbosacral junction when it has been immobilized by means of two different posterior fixation systems in conjunction with three different anterior interbody fixation techniques. The information obtained provides a foundation for determining how methods of lumbosacral spinal fixation can maximize ...

Biomechanical Analysis of the Breaststroke Start

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2007
The aim of this study was to analyse the kinematics and coordination of the breaststroke start as regards to skill level using a video device. Ten national swimmers were compared with an international swimmer. All swimmers simulated the 100-m pace for 25 m after a grab start. The kinematical analysis assessed the durations of leave block, flight, entry

Finkelstein’s test: A biomechanical analysis

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2005
Finkelstein's test is the classic diagnostic test for de Quervain's disease. Finkelstein hypothesized that the entry of the muscle bellies of the extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) and abductor pollicis longus (APL) tendons into the first extensor compartment was responsible for the findings observed in his now eponymous test.

A Biomechanical Analysis of the Karate Chop

Research Quarterly. American Alliance for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, 1976
Abstract Cinematography, accelerometry, and electromyography were used to study the preimpact movements of the arm and trunk during karate chops intended to break two or three 3/4-in. pine boards. Six experienced subjects were used to provide initial descriptive information from which three broad classifications of movement patterns were made ...

Cervical SNAGs: a biomechanical analysis

Manual Therapy, 2002
A sustained natural apophyseal glide (SNAG) is a mobilization technique commonly used in the treatment of painful movement restrictions of the cervical spine. In the manual therapy literature, the biological basis and empirical efficacy of cervical SNAGs have received scant attention. In particular, an examination of their potential biological basis in

Orthopedic biomechanics: multibody analysis

2022
Joints of the musculoskeletal apparatus are characterized by high complexity, being described by three-dimensional kinematics, which results from the concurrence of translational and rotational motions among the articulating bones forming the joint. The complexity of the kinematics derives from the interaction of different anatomical structures, and ...
