Biomechanical testing of upright range of motion versus overhead supine range of motion
Rehabilitation of an elbow, following injury, is not a well-studied subject. Clinically, there is not a general consensus on which recovery method is optimal for healing an unstable elbow. When dealing with medial collateral ligament deficiency, many authors have proposed several forearm positions …

The effect of injury on ankle range of motion and proprioception
To assess the effect of injury to the ankle on postural sway in participants with a history of no injuries, one injury and two or more injuries. To compare the changes in passive range of motion of the ankle in participants with no injuries, one injury and two or more injuries. The results suggest …

The Effects of Wearing Headscarves on Cervical Spine Proprioception and Range of Motion
… Wearing the headscarf is a part of an essential religious practice by females in Islamic cultures. Regular wear of the headscarf might have an influence on cervical proprioception and range of motion (ROM). The cervical spine is unique in providing multidirectional movement as …

The effect of balancing ligamentous tension (an indirect technique) on range of motion at the ankle
The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of an indirect technique (balancing ligamentous tension) on altered talocrural joint range of motion (ROM). The subjects were asymptomatic male and female volunteers, aged between nineteen and twenty nine years. Subjects with a 6 degree or …

The Relationship between Dorsiflexion Range of Motion and Knee Kinematics in a Land-and-Jump Task
… and non weight-bearing dorsiflexion range of motion and frontal knee kinematics at initial ground contact and maximal knee flexion in a land-and-jump task. Thirteen male participants (age = 23 + 2.35 y, height = 181.4 + 5.68 cm, mass = 84.5 + 17.2 kg) proficient in landing and jumping …

The Effect of Stretching Regimes on Stride Length and Range of Motion of the Equine Trot
… quantifying the various influences on equine locomotion are widespread, however research on the effects of stretching on equine movement is limited and lacks in comparison to human medicine. Equine trainers should be aiming to facilitate movement that is natural, aesthetic and rewarding for the …

Exploring the range of motion between the acetabular component and the femoral component in hip resurfacing
Accurate placement of the femoral and acetabular components is crucial to retain the natural hip Range of Motion (RoM) in hip resurfacing, as well as prevent accelerated wear and subsequent premature component failure. Currently, magnetic resonance images and anterior-posterior radiographs are …

Role of Transverse Plane Hip Range of Motion and Strength on Pain and Function in Hip Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip is a chronic, progressive disease that decreases joint mobility and function and is associated with disability and musculoskeletal pain (Bieler et al., 2017; O’Neill et al., 2018; O’Neill & Felson, 2018; Rydevik et al., 2010). According to the Centers for Disease …

Traumatic brain injuries and older adults: The implications of neck strength, muscle activation, and range of motion
… brain injuries (TBIs) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in older adults. Previous research has focused on non-modifiable risk factors, such as age and gender. However, some potential modifiable risk factors to fall-related TBIs in older adults may be related to neck musculature …
