Impact of Sex and Stretch-Shortening Cycle Induced-Fatigue on Limb Stiffness and Limb Stiffness Asymmetry During the Stop-Jump
… induced by the stretch-shortening cycle on lower limb mechanics and asymmetry values in the stop-jump task. The first purpose of the study was to assess the effect of sex and stretch-shortening cycle fatigue on limb stiffness and limb stiffness asymmetry. The second purpose was to assess landing …

The Effect of Biofeedback on Eccentric Knee Joint Power, Limb Stiffness, and Limb Stiffness Symmetry in ACLR Patients During Bilateral Landing
… on eccentric knee joint power (ECCKP), limb stiffness, and limb stiffness symmetry (using normalized symmetry index, NSI), in addition to secondary lower extremity outcomes that are associated with these metrics, during landing among patients following ACLR. This study used data …

The Impact of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Sex, and Sport-specific, Game-like Factors on Limb Stiffness and Limb Stiffness Asymmetry during Landing
… proposed reason. Asymmetric landings where one limb experiences greater landing force can decrease joint stability and place the overloaded limb at greater risk for ACL injury. Additionally, a stiff landing, characterized by increased ground reaction force (GRF), extended joints at initial …

Impact of Surface Stiffness on Lower Limb Stiffness and Symmetry During Gait
… used to evaluate the normality of movements. Limb symmetry, specifically, is the equal actions of the lower limbs during movement. This is needed to perform tasks safely and efficiently without injury. Gait and movement symmetry has been used to predict lower limb injury risk for many …

All Models are Wrong, Simple Models Provide Insight: A Study of Human Manipulation
… this capability annually due to conditions like limb amputation or Cerebral Vascular Accident. Robotic rehabilitation technologies, including prosthetics and exoskeletons, aim to restore motor function. However, understanding human control strategies is crucial for effective implementation. …

Appropriately complex biomechanical modelling of distance running
… bouncing on a massless linear spring of constant stiffness. It was found that forefoot strikers exhibited a relatively linear force-length relationship, but rearfoot strikes did not. In addition, significant differences were found when a range of definitions for calculating lower limb stiffness …
