Hindfoot and forefoot kinematic differences among individuals with and without Functional Ankle Instability
… (FAI). It has been proposed that altered joint kinematics during activity may contribute to instability in these individuals, however research findings have been inconsistent. Objective: To capture foot and ankle kinematic data during two common tasks (walking gait and jump landing) among three …

BIOMECHANICAL RISK FACTORS FOR ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT INJURY: WHAT DO LANDING TASKS TELL US?
… biomechanics and performance. Sex-related kinematic differences were evaluated in 30 male and 30 female athletes, who were asked to perform a battery of landing tasks. A key aspect was the customization of jump characteristics based on the athletes' anthropometrics and performance levels, …

EVALUATING THE EFFECT OF AGE AND SEX ON UPPER LIMB KINEMATICS AMONG SASKATCHEWAN FARMERS DURING FARM TASKS.
… evaluate the effect of age and sex on shoulder kinematics during high-risk farm tasks. Methods: Twenty farmers from rural Saskatchewan farms participated in the study (14 males and 6 females). The upper body motion of the participants was measured with inertial measurement unit sensors as they …

A Principal Component Analysis Comparing Forward Skating Strides Pre-Post Skate Treadmill Training in Youth Hockey Players
… temporal and phasic waveform patterns within kinematic data, obtained from forward skating strides, pre-post skate treadmill training in youth (U-11), male hockey players to investigate changes in kinematics. Continuous joint angle (deg) and angular velocity (deg/s) stride data for the trunk, …

KINEMATIC COMPARISON OF THE UNDERWATER DOLPHIN KICK BETWEEN SWIMMERS WITH DIFFERENT LEVELS OF COMPETITIVE ABILITY
… The purpose of this study was to identify kinematic differences in the UDK between experienced swimmers within a broad range of competitive abilities, using a model which more accurately represents UDK trunk undulations than models used in previous kinematic studies. Fifteen competitive …

Investigation of Upper Limb Kinematics and Corticospinal Pathway Activity Early After Stroke
… A deeper understanding of underlying kinematic characteristics and the neural correlates of movement can be achieved through neuro-biomechanical assessment. This would provide knowledge of the interaction of the nervous and musculoskeletal system, which may contribute to development of …

An Evaluation of passive recumbent quantitative fluoroscopy to measure mid-lumber intervertebral motion in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain and healthy volunteers.
… been clinically diagnosed. It aimed to develop kinematic parameters from the continuous data and determine whether these could detect subtle mechanical differences by comparing this to data obtained from healthy volunteers. Methods: This was a prospective cross sectional study. Forty patients …

Marine invertebrate sperm: assessment of sperm quality using computer-aided sperm analysis
… the sperm concentration, motility and sperm kinematic parameters using computer-aided-sperm analysis (CASA). Sperm morphology and sperm motility play an important role in determining sperm quality as they relate to fertilization success. More specifically, head length and total sperm length …

An investigation to determine the kinematic variables associated with the production of topspin in the tennis groundstrokes
… to improve this aspect of the game. Many of the kinematic analyses into tennis groundstrokes were conducted more than ten years ago, with measurement techniques that may not have accurately measured the anatomical rotations important for generating racket velocity. It has only recently been …

The kinetics, kinematics and energy requirements of distance running: Implications for footwear design
… Study 1 aimed to determine the kinetic and 3-D kinematic differences between treadmill and overground running, in order to determine whether the treadmill replicates overground running and whether different footwear is necessary during treadmill running. It was observed specifically that …

Biomechanical and psychological factors that distinguish fallers from non-fallers : a comparative study of transtibial amputees and able bodied individuals
… at high risk of falling. While biomechanical differences between fallers and non-fallers have been identified in older adults, no research to date has specifically compared amputee fallers and non-fallers. The aim of this thesis was to undertake a biomechanical comparison of amputee and …

Modelling plate kinematics in the Scotia sea
A new model of plate kinematics in the Scotia Sea region is presented in which continental crustal blocks and the signatures of seafloor spreading are defined semi-automatically using gravity and total field magnetic anomalies and some of their residuals, transformations and derivatives. This study …

Biomechanical Assessment of Varied Lifting Tasks With and Without Passive Back Support Exoskeletons
… focuses on the VTLowe's exoskeleton and the kinematic differences found during Stoop, Squat, and Freestyle lifting. These lift styles were evaluated while the study participants lifted boxes weighing 0% or 20% of their body weight both With and Without the exoskeleton. Evaluating the …
