Comparison of lower extremity strength and strength symmetry among U.S. Ski Team sports
… and moguls ski competitors. Purpose: Compare lower extremity strength limb symmetry index (LSI) and relative strength (RS) among alpine, mogul, and aerials ski competitors. Methods: Archival data from 156 males and females from the U.S. Ski Team at Olympic, World Cup, and national levels were …

Association between Overuse Injury and Biomechanics in Distance Runners
… and kinetic, anthropometric and muscular strength variables with injury frequency in distance runners. We hypothesize that frequency of injury will influence a discrete set of kinematic, kinetic, anthropometric, and strength variables. Specifically, increased injury frequency will be …

The Impact of Race and Related Factors on Movement Mechanics
… differences can be explained by anthropometric, strength, and health status factors. Methods: Venous blood samples, anthropometric measures, lower extremity strength, and a health status assessment were collected for 92 participants (18-30y) in an IRB approved study. After measuring self-selected …

The Impact of Gender, Age, and Performance on Stroke Survivors' Goal Conceptualization, Prioritization, and Attainment
… important to stroke survivors, such as upper and lower extremity strength, balance, depression assistance and hand function are not measured in current required rehabilitation documentation. In the large population based study, women were more likely to discharge at a supervision level or better …

Effects of Obesity and Age on Muscle Strength, Gait, and Balance Recovery
… the effects of obesity and age on muscle strength, gait, and balance recovery. Three experimental studies were conducted. The purpose of the first study was to investigate the effects of obesity and age on extension and flexion strength at the hip, knee, and ankle. Absolute strength among …

Aging effect on successful reactive-recovery from unexpected slips: a 3D lower extremity joint moment analysis
… (3D) inverse dynamics analysis to determine lower extremity (ankle, knee and hip) joint moments on previously collected slip perturbation experimental data. In addition, the aging effect on the joint moment generation in both normal walking and reactive-recovery conditions was examined. …
