The role of foot posture and motion on external knee adduction moment : implications for the effectiveness of lateral wedge insoles
… considered effective in reducing external knee adduction moment (EKAM). LWI aim to shift a proportion of knee load from the medial compartment to the lateral compartment of the knee joint, providing some symptomatic relief. Foot posture may influence the efficacy of LWI in reducing the EKAM due …

Investigating the relationship between hip joint kinematics and patient-reported measures during squatting tasks & reliability of clinical methods of squatting assessment in females with acetabular dysplasia
… were used to examine differences in maximal hip adduction between groups. A within-subject repeated measures ANOVA was used to investigate hip adduction differences across multiple positions by task. Spearman rank-ordered correlation coefficients were used to evaluate the relationship between …

The isokinetic assessment of muscle strength in rugby union players.
… Isokinetic assessment of shoulder abduction and adduction strength was identified as providing a sport specific measurement based on the muscle actions involved in the rugby tackle.A pilot study was conducted to assess the reliability of the isokinetic assessment of shoulder abduction and …

Species-specific Myoglobin Oxidation
… (OxyMb) oxidation is accelerated by HNE adduction. The adduction of HNE to the histidine (His) residues of OxyMb is believed to alter the tertiary structure of OxyMb and make the heme group more vulnerable to oxidation. Previous studies suggested that the HNE effect on OxyMb oxidation was …

Trunk Lean in Control and Osteoarthritic Gait
… gait has been linked to a reduction in the knee adduction moment, which is associated with joint loading. Differences were examined in knee adduction moments and frontal plane trunk lean during gait between subjects with knee osteoarthritis and a control group of healthy adults. Additionally, …

Biomechanical measures of lower limb variability, and prediction of non-contact knee injuries risk factors in male athletes
… of frontal plane projection angle (FPPA) and hip adduction angle difference between legs and over season, and its relationship with injury. Methodology: After assessing the validity and reliability of FPPA and hip adduction angle during single leg squat (SLS) and single leg landing (SLL) tasks, in …

Do the gluteal muscles influence dynamic knee valgus when single-leg landing?
… between gluteus medius EMG activity and hip adduction angles during all landing tasks with R2 ranging from 0.13 to 0.22. Gluteus medius EMG activity moderately correlated with knee abduction angle during right SLS and with internal hip rotation angle during left SLS. Significant moderate to …

An artificially-intelligent biomeasurement system for total hip arthroplasty patient rehabilitation.
… hip ROM in the flexion/extension and abduction/adduction rotations (forward and backward swing and outward and inward movement of the hip respectively). The review of literature in the area of biomeasurement devices is also presented. A major data collection was carried out using twenty-one THA …

The incidence and associated risk factors of injury in professional golfers
… in the joint range of motion of horizontal adduction of the leading shoulder (p=0.04) between the group reporting an injury compared to the group with no injury. Furthermore, statistically significant differences were found in decreased range of motion of internal rotation of the trailing …

Isometric hip and groin strength in elite football players: preliminary investigations into the validity and reliability of testing, comparison to a normal population and in-season strength changes.
… profiles (dominant and non- dominant maximum adduction and abduction scores, adductor ratios, abductor ratios and adductor:abductor ratios) between elite footballers and a normal population, and (3) explore the variability of isometric hip and groin strength across a season in elite …

Laxity of the Hip Capsule in Natural and Posteriorly Implanted Specimens
… in both internal/external rotation and abduction/adduction and varied throughout the range of flexion. The 4-dimensional (combined IE, AD/AB and Flex/Ext resistive torque) total resistive torque rotation space exhibits an 'active zone' whereby the resistive torque attempts to restore it back to …

Bodyweight Squat Movement Changes after a High-Intensity Short-Rest Workout
… trunk flexion, hip flexion, hip rotation and hip adduction. Subjects were split in to two groups: high lactate (n=7) and low lactate (n=7). Separate 2x2 mixed model ANOVAs were used to assess differences between time points (pre-test, post-test) and groups (high lactate, low lactate) for the …

The Effect of Two Maintenance Procedures on an Equine Arena Surface in Relation to Motion of the Hoof and Metacarpophalangeal Joint
… and significantly (P<.05) greater MCIII adduction at impact following harrowing, when gait was grouped. Hardness and traction were statistically similar on both treatments. Alterations to the surface cushion that do not significantly alter hardness and traction appear to be sufficient to …

Evaluating human-EVA suit injury using wearable sensors
… shoulder flexion/extension, shoulder abduction/adduction and cross body reach, which is a complex succession of critical motions for astronaut and pilot task. The contact pressure between the person and the spacesuit was measured by three low-pressure sensors (the Polipo) over the arm, and one …

Use of Biomechanical Motion Analysis to Evaluate Endotracheal Intubation Skill in a Simulated Clinical Setting
… p-values were obtained from the wrist abduction/adduction (p = 0.009) and elbow abduction/adduction (p=0.002) ranges of motion among novices and experts, indicating significant difference. Combined with a lower completion time and the lower overall laryngoscope movement, the lower range of motion …

Effects of Occlusal Splints and Occlusal Equilibration on Skeletal Muscles in TMJ Patients
… splint. The notions tested were horizontal arm adduction, hip flexion with knee bent, and shoulder abduction. Nine of the patients were treated until they were asymptomatic and then tested again with and without the occlusal splint. An occlusal equilibration was performed, and then patients were …

Morphology of the Ankle Collateral Ligaments: Functional and Clinical Considerations
… ATFL limits plantarflexion, inversion and talar adduction, and internal rotation. The calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) originated 7.63 mm from the lateral malleolar tip and passed to the calcaneal lateral surface to insert 17.7 mm commonly posterosuperior to the fibular tubercle. The CFL resists …
