European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1994 The hypothesis that Pygmies may differ from Caucasians in some aspects of the mechanics of locomotion was tested. A total of 13 Pygmies and 7 Caucasians were asked to walk and run on a treadmill at 4-12 km.h-1. Simultaneous metabolic measurements and three-dimensional motion analysis were performed allowing the energy expenditure and the mechanical ...

Managing intra-articular deformity in high Tibial osteotomy: a narrative review
Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, 2020 The joint line convergence angle (JLCA) has a normal range between 0° to 2°, which increases in magnitude depending on the severity and stage of osteoarthritis in the knee. The JLCA represents the interaction of the intra-articular deformity arising from

Different visual manipulations have similar effects on quasi-static and dynamic balance responses of young and older people [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Background Studies demonstrated that the older adults can be more susceptible to balance instability after acute visual manipulation. There are different manipulation approaches used to investigate the importance of visual inputs on balance, e.g., eyes ...
