The immediate effects of rhythmic arm swing and finger tapping exercises on gait of Parkinson's patients
… investigated the immediate effects of a rhythmic arm swing exercise vs. a rhythmic finger tapping exercise on gait parameters of individuals in the early stages of Parkinson's disease (PD). The study design was a randomized control trial involving three experimental conditions: control group, …

THE INFLUENCE OF THE BACK FUNCTIONAL LINE ON LOWER EXTREMITY FRONTAL PLANE KINEMATICS AND KINEMATIC PREDICTORS OF LOADING DURING RUNNING
… injuries (RRI). We used conditions of arm swing constraint to manipulate the action of the LD and investigate the response in GM and VL muscles. Our main variables of interest include: 1) BFL muscle activity, specifically mean and peak amplitude, onset, and co-activation of the LD and …

Effect of Two Volleyball Arm Swings on Post-Impact Ball Velocity
… ball velocities generated by the bow-and-arrow arm swing (BAS) and circular arm swing (CS) in volleyball spiking. Ten female collegiate volleyball players were videotaped using two-dimensional cinematography. Markers were placed at the hip, shoulder, elbow wrist, end of the fingers, and the …

A Study of Three Competitive Swimming Front Racing Starts
… swimming front starts: the conventional arm swing start, the grab start, and the grab (butterfly) start. Procedure. Thirteen experienced competitive swimmers (six female and seven male) did each of the three starts a total of six times. The middle four times for each start were used as …

The Effects of Age on Gait and Functional Movement Characteristics in an Older Adult Population
… the likelihood of tripping) and increased arm swing during obstacle clearance (potentially increasing stability). This work represents the creation of one of the largest databases of gait in older people including three-dimensional motion analysis for normal walking and three functional …

Development of a wireless ditributed three channel stimulator used for automatic triggering of stimulation to enable co-ordinated task execution of stroke patients
… to correct drop foot and assist reciprocal arm swing in walking mode, and enables reaching and grasping stimulation when the user is stationary. This combination of a wireless network of stimulators and sensors allows the development of a new generation of FES systems that are convenient for …

Studies of myosin mechanics using fluorescence
… of LRET. LRET and FRET measured the lever arm swing of smooth muscle myosin II and confirmed that there was an actin dependent state. FIONA is able to track the position of a single dye with approximately one nanometer accuracy while DOPI is able to determine the dye's orientation. Both of …

Agility quantification using body worn inertial sensors
… number of foot contacts, stride length variance, arm swing variance, mean normalized stride frequency, and number of body rotations). Eighteen participants donned 13 sensors to complete a reactive agility task, which involved navigating a set of cones in response to a vocal cue. Participants were …
