Exploration of Movement Variability and Limb Loading Asymmetry During Simulated Daily Functional Tasks
… of the numerous interactions that occur between limbs during various tasks. There are documented movement differences when assessing movement in various populations, for example, joint angle and loading symmetry differences when comparing a clinical and healthy population. Symmetry deficits can …

Differences in Balance and Limb Loading Symmetry in Postpartum and Nulliparous Women During Childcare Related Activities
… which disturb balance and lead to asymmetric loading in the pelvis and legs. This imbalance makes daily tasks, such as lifting and carrying a car seat during childcare, more difficult, and increases the risk of chronic pain and injury. This study aimed to explore how different groups – PP and …

Is the upper quarter Y-Balance test a useful measure to determine upper limb loading response in female competitive gymnasts after upper extremity injury?
… provided real-time data during the handstand. Limb symmetry index (LSI), a measure that compares performance between extremities, was calculated using YBT-UQ composite scores and two pressure measurements, peak pressure and time-to-peak pressure. Statistical analysis of the relationship between …

An investigation into the use of inertial measurement units to assess the loading profiles of adolescent Badminton players.
Monitoring athlete loading is important for understanding athlete adaptations, recovery and injury risk. It is common practice to calculate training load from trunk-mounted accelerometers, housed within Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), yet many sports have specific anatomical regions where higher …

Design and Evaluation of a Quasi-Passive Variable Stiffness Ankle-Foot Prosthesis to Improve Biomechanics Across Walking Speeds
… are an estimated 875,000 people with major lower limb loss in the United States, with numbers projected to increase 1.6-fold by 2050 due to increasing prevalence of diabetes, obesity, and related dysvascular conditions [1]. Lower limb amputation often leads to secondary conditions such as knee …

Movement patterns in the unstable total knee replacement
… outpatient clinical setting. This study measured limb loading during simple functional tasks. Bilateral stance and level walking gait were examined in patients with suspected TKA instability (n = 10) and in a convenient sample of healthy controls (n = 10). Pressure distribution was analysed at …

Biomechanical adaptations involved in ramp descent: Impact of microprocessor-controlled ankle-foot prothesis. Kinetic and kinematic responses to using microprocessor-controlled ankle-foot prosthesis in unilateral trans-tibial amputees during ramp descent
… programs and prosthetic developments for lower-limb amputees. The thesis aim was to determine the biomechanical adaptations made by active unilateral trans-tibial amputees (TT) using a microprocessor-controlled ankle-foot prosthesis in active (MC-AF) compared to non-active mode (nonMC-AF) or …

Design and Evaluation of a Powered Series-Elastic Cycloidal Ankle (CyAn) Prosthesis
The prevalence of major lower limb loss in the United States is projected to increase significantly due to rising rates of diabetes and obesity, highlighting an urgent need for advanced prosthetic solutions [1]. Individuals with lower limb amputations often face increased energy expenditure and …

Asymmetries within elite youth soccer players: an investigation into the impact of soccer-specific loading
… soccer can influence the development of interlimb asymmetries and propose a holistic approach to reduce these asymmetries. The literature review provides a comprehensive review of the physical and technical demands of youth soccer and how they contribute to asymmetrical loading and adaptation …
