Constraints on movement variability during a discrete multi-articular action
… of organismic and task constraints affected movement variability during a basketball shooting task. The specific constraints that were manipulated included task expertise, state anxiety and dioptric blur (organismic constraints), and, shooting distance and attentional focus instruction (task …

Exploration of Movement Variability and Limb Loading Asymmetry During Simulated Daily Functional Tasks
… 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 impact quality of life and in some cases have been …

Evaluation of movement variability and knee biomechanics during functional sporting tasks in healthy individuals and individuals following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury (ACL) and ACL reconstruction
… some sporting activities. Knee biomechanics and movement variability (MV) comprise two very important aspects relating to injury risk, where it has been suggested that the latter may play a role in ACL injury. AimThe aims of this thesis were: to investigate MV and knee biomechanics during four …

EFFECTS OF VESTIBULAR TRAINING ON POSTURAL CONTROL OF HEALTHY ADULTS
… in medial gastrocnemius (p = .033) and eye movement variability (p = .024) were significantly decreased in the headshake groups following training. Pearson correlations showed moderate associations between postural sway, eye movement variables and vestibular reflex gains. Specifically, there …

Understanding Variability in Older adults using Inertial Sensors
… maintenance and may therefore result in a fall. Movement variability in an individual's task performance can be used to assess the limitations of the movement control system. Maintaining variation in movement engenders flexible and adaptable modalities for elderly individuals to prevent falls in …

Orchestration : the movement and vocal behavior of free-ranging Norwegian killer whales (Orcinus orca)
… during feeding were characterized by elevated movement variability, heightened vocal activity and call types containing additional orientation cues. Tail slaps produced by tagged animals were identified using a rapid pitch change and occurred primarily within 20m of the surface. Two …

Risk factors for Achilles tendinopathy in runners - an investigation of selected intrinsic, kinematic, kinetic and muscle activity factors that are associated with Achilles tendinopathy
… lower limb alignment, running biomechanics and movement variability were investigated. This study also aims to understand how different sensory inputs, such as shoe or pain may affect biomechanics. Thirty four uninjured runners (UN) and twenty one runners with Achilles tendinopathy (AT) composed …

Trunk loading and back pain
… well as a reduced range of motion and increased movement variability of the trunk are evident in back pain patients (BPP). These differences to healthy controls (H) have been evaluated primarily in quasi-static test situations involving isolated loading directly to the trunk. Nevertheless, …

Differences in Movement and Loading Variability Between ACLR and Healthy Athletes During Bilateral and Unilateral Landings
… research was to understand the differences in movement and loading variability between ACLR and healthy athletes during unilateral and bilateral landings while utilizing limb symmetry to understand between group differences. It was hypothesized that females with an ACLR would have greater …

Ecological and recreational interactions of the native pike Esox lucius and the invasive pikeperch Sander lucioperca in England.
… specialisations. A telemetry study revealed movement variability within species and that increased movement was associated with spawning for both pike and pikeperch, and highlighted the potential importance of limited off-channel habitat in a channelized lowland river which was important to …

Biomechanical measures of lower limb variability, and prediction of non-contact knee injuries risk factors in male athletes
… Also, recent studies have suggested that movement variability should be considered a potential source of information for analysis in monitoring athletes’ biomechanical performance. The aims of this thesis are to assess the performance and performance-variability of frontal plane projection …
