Evaluation of Football Safety Techniques Utilizing Biomechanical Measurements
In recent years, concussions and the effect this injury has on the human brain has been an area of concern for many people involved in sports. And perhaps rightfully so, as between 1.6 and 3.8 million people each year sustain a sports-related concussion in the United States. In the past, …

Associations between musculoskeletal injury and selected lower limb biomechanical measurements in female amateur ballet dancers
Submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master’s Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, 2014.

Design, Fabrication and Calibration of Compliant, Multi-Axis, Fiber-Optic Force/Torque Sensors for Biomechanical Measurements
… with the linear estimation models. For biomechanical applications such as ground reaction force and gait measurements, the sensor must be able to measure the complete degree of freedom of any force or torque applied at a certain point. Therefore, a wearable compliant 6-axis force and …

Stability of the Shoulder Complex during Manual Exertions
… strain indices were developed using different biomechanical measurements that characterize the concavity compression mechanism. The highest correlation (r=0.70) between the strain index scores and ratings of perceived exertion was observed for a strain index which comprised of three normalized …

Prosthetic socket design : from a multi-indenter device for in vivo biomechanical tissue measurement to a quasi-passive transtibial socket interface
… flow, namely a multi-indenter device for in vivo biomechanical tissue measurement and a quasi-passive variable-impedance transtibial socket interface. An active indenter platform called the FitSocket is presented. To assess residual-limb tissue biomechanics, the FitSocket comprised 14 position and …

Modulation and modeling of anticipatory postural adjustments for gait initiation in persons with Parkinson's disease
… behaviors in persons with PD and FOG symptoms. Biomechanical measurements and mechanical modeling techniques were used to explore the neuromechanical factors (e.g., cognitive, sensorimotor, biomechanical) that could enable this type of intervention or therapy. (1) The first research objective …

Plant-habitat interactions in brackish marshes
… at locations with higher mechanical stress by biomechanical measurements. The results of this study show that under non-storm conditions, the vegetation belt of the marsh pioneer Bolboschoenus maritimus is able to buffer a large proportion of the flow velocity. We were furthermore able to show …
