"In my stride": a life-history of Alie Fataar, teacher
This thesis employs a life-history approach to investigate how a teacher-identity is cohered under conditions of education resistance in South Africa. The life-history is situated within the broad rubric of narrative studies, but extends this to investigating a teacher's life within its complex …

The Effect of a Skate Treadmill Training Intervention on Stride Mechanics
… skate treadmill training intervention on stride mechanics in youth ice hockey players. The secondary purpose was to investigate the effect of removing the training stimulus on retention of stride mechanics adaptations as a result of training. Stride mechanics were defined by the variables: …

Stride-level control of quadrupedal runners through optimal scaling of hip-force profiles
… to be exerted at each hip during the subsequent stride. Controlling the legs so as to match these profiles is left to the lower level leg controllers. The hip force profiles returned by OSHP are scaled variants of nominal force profiles based on biological ground reaction force data. The OSHP …

The Effect of Stretching Regimes on Stride Length and Range of Motion of the Equine Trot
… effects of two eight-week stretching regimes on stride length (SL) and range of motion (ROM) in the equine trot. Eighteen horses were divided into three matched groups according to age, conformation and breed. The groups were assigned to a 6-day stretching regime (6DSR), 3-day stretching regime …

An investigation into the efficacy of kinematics and kinetics method for stride-characteristic measurements of horses trotting on a treadmill
… of this study was to investigate the validity of stride characteristic measurements taken from the sternum by means of an Optical Motion Capture System (OMCS) and an Inertia Measurement Unit (IMU), in comparison with OMCS hoof markers. Measurements were taken from sound horses of a range of …

The assessment of fatigue-related changes in stride mechanics, variability and long-range correlations in recreational and elite distance runners using foot-mounted inertial sensors
This thesis was designed to assess stride mechanics, variability and long-range correlations during running, as well as their relationship with fatigue and skill level. For this purpose, three separate experiments were conducted. As a first step, it was established whether a simple hardware setup …

The Effect of Knee Osteoarthritis on the Variability and Fractal Dynamics of Human Gait
… however gait variability (i.e., the magnitude of stride-to-stride fluctuations with respect to time) and the fractal-scaling index (FSI) (i.e., correlated self-similar patterns of gait) can provide better information about the rhythmicity of the gait cycle over time. Recent studies have shown a …

A Principal Component Analysis Comparing Forward Skating Strides Pre-Post Skate Treadmill Training in Youth Hockey Players
… kinematic data, obtained from forward skating strides, pre-post skate treadmill training in youth (U-11), male hockey players to investigate changes in kinematics. Continuous joint angle (deg) and angular velocity (deg/s) stride data for the trunk, hip, and knee were determined, time …

Assessment of Powered Ankle Exoskeleton on Human Stability and Balance
… that the exoskeleton in both states affects stride stability metrics (e.g., stride length, stride duration, and stride speed). Despite the changes in stride stability, balance overall (as measured by torso sway) remains unaffected by either exoskeleton state when considering the pooled …

Effect of Textured Insoles on Gait Variability During Continous Overground Walking in Older Adult Fallers and Non-Fallers
… and the FSI of gait require hundreds of strides for valid analysis, which requires specific technology such as accelerometers to capture such large data sets. In addition to developing more sensitive measures to quantify fall risk, it is imperative to develop interventions that will …

Analysis of movement in pace and tölt in the Icelandic horse
… from the video footage. Attributes such as beat, stride length, stride frequency, speed, suspension and the ratio between stance phases of the frontlimbs and hindlimbs were analyzed and compared to subjectively scored data Horses in high quality tölt (score ≥ 9) had a much higher range of speed, …
