A biomechanical analysis of racewalking gait

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1986
The purpose of this study was to investigate the kinetic and kinematic properties of the lower extremity during the phases of the racewalking gait as defined by the rules and compare these to normal walking and running. Cinematographic and force plate data were gathered from 10 competitive racewalkers under four gait conditions.

A biomechanical analysis of the joints of the thumb

Journal of Biomechanics, 1980
Abstract A three dimensional biomechanical analysis of the joints of the thumb is presented. Activities investigated included developing an isometric twisting moment on a fixture representing a screw top jar, and squeezing the same fixture between the thumb and the fingers.

Biomechanical Analysis of Lumbosacral Fixation

Spine, 1992
Flexion testing was performed until failure on 66 lumbosacral bovine spinal segments comparing ten different lumbosacral instrumentation techniques. Maximum flexion moment at failure, flexural stiffness, and maximum angulation of the lumbosacral joint at failure were determined as well as strain measurements across the anterior aspect of the ...

Biomechanical analysis of the keratoconic cornea

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2009
Keratoconus is a non-inflammatory disease characterized by irregular thinning and gradual bulging of the cornea, which results in distortion of the corneal surface that causes blurred vision. We conducted three-dimensional finite element (FE) simulations to analyze the biomechanical factors contributing to the distorted shape of a keratoconic cornea ...

An Artificial Disc: Chemical and Biomechanical Analysis

Macromolecular Symposia, 2008
AbstractSummary:Degeneration of intervertebral discs is the most common cause of back pain. The first phase of this degenerative process involves the nucleus pulposus. A rapid recovery of this structure can prevent further degradation of the annulus fibrosus.

Qualitative biomechanical analysis of technique

2017
This chapter provides an essential background for identifying and diagnosing faults in performance through phase analysis model or performance outcome model for improving performance. Phase analysis model is sequential in nature and is based on the use of movement principles.

Biomechanical Analysis of the Deadlift

The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 1996
ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to document the differences in kinematics between the Sumo and conventional style deadlift techniques as performed by competitive powerlifters. Videotapes of 19 conventional and 10 Sumo contestants at two regional New Zealand powerlifting championships were ...

A biomechanical analysis of the metacarpo-phalangeal joint

Journal of Biomechanics, 1977
Abstract A three dimensional biomechanical analysis of the metacarpo-phalangeal joint of the index finger is presented. The activities investigated were developing an isometric moment on a fixture representing a water tap and pinching a 45 mm cylinder with index finger and thumb.

Biomechanical simulation in the analysis of aimed movements

CHI '13 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2013
For efficient design of gestural user interfaces both performance and fatigue characteristics of movements must be understood. We are developing a novel method that allows for biomechanical analysis in conjunction with performance analysis. We capture motion data using optical tracking from which we can compute performance measures such as speed and ...

Biomechanical Analysis of Padding

Advances in Bioengineering, 1999
Abstract Padding materials are routinely used to reduce the potential for head injury. The interior of vehicles has been identified as an area where injury can occur in the absence of padding. Head impacts with roof, pillars and support structures have been studied by Fan, Monk, and Friedman.
