Effects of Increased Shoe Collar Height and Limb Dominance on Landing Knee Biomechanics in Collegiate Volleyball Players
… this study was to determine the effect of MC and limb dominance on knee landing mechanics. It was hypothesized that participants would land with greater initial contact (IC) and peak frontal joint plane angles and moments and smaller IC and peak sagittal plane joint angles and moments at the knee …

The Relationship Between Core Stability Related Measures and Performance in Adolescent All-Star Cheerleaders
… trunk flexion to extension range of motion, dominant limb single leg stance test, and normalized to height dominant limb single leg hop distance. Performance measures included a standing back tuck, a running tumbling dismount, a toe-touch, and a base skill assessment. The CSRM were tested …

Exploring lateralized sensorimotor processing using somatosensory evoked potentials
Differences exist between the two upper limbs in the chosen motor control strategy when moving in dynamic environments. To date, a large body of literature has explored these differences but few studies have incorporated neurophysiological data to support their findings. By utilizing somatosensory …

Humeral Retroversion, Range of Motion, and Strength Adaptations in Tennis Players
… Bilateral differences (Δ) were calculated (dominant minus nondominant) for HRV and ROM variables. Isometric ER:IR strength ratios were measured and calculated for the dominant limb using hand-held dynamometry. Paired-sample t-tests and one-way ANOVAs were used to analyze limb-to-limb and …

Stability and instability in the coordination of multijoint limb movements
… as a function of the practice level of the limb involved, the perturbation magnitude or the amount of friction change between stylus and writing surface, and the interaction between perturbation magnitude and practice level. Reversal point locations for the stylus (end-effector) and the …

The Impact of Lower Limb Dominance on Side-to-Side Symmetry in Daily Living and Sports-related Tasks
… success of rehabilitation programs. Considering limb dominance in the lower limbs is also important as limb dominance could influence symmetry measures. There is a need to assess symmetry, particularly in healthy populations, in tasks other than walking and running and establish how the dominant …

Asymmetries within elite youth soccer players: an investigation into the impact of soccer-specific loading
… soccer can influence the development of interlimb asymmetries and propose a holistic approach to reduce these asymmetries. The literature review provides a comprehensive review of the physical and technical demands of youth soccer and how they contribute to asymmetrical loading and adaptation …

Force Platforms for Isometric Hamstring Testing: Reliability, Validity and Practical Applications in Professional Soccer
… to IKD, demonstrating high reliability in both dominant (CV = 4.3%) and non-dominant (CV = 5.4%) limbs and the ability to detect changes in strength in pre- vs. post exercise tests (McCall et al., 2015). McCall’s group did not assess the validity of force platforms however and suggested further …

COMPENSATORY HIP AND KNEE MECHANICS IN TRANSTIBIAL AMPUTEES DURING STAIR DESCENT AND DIRECTIONAL TASK
<p>This study compared lower limb mechanics in unilateral transtibial amputees and able bodied controls during strenuous activities of daily living (ADL). Seven unilateral transtibial amputee and five matched-abled bodied control participants executed stair descent on a four-step rehabilitation …

Exploring limb symmetry index for balance across a range of functional tasks.
… of clinical examination. To this end a limb symmetry index (LSI) of 80 – 90% of the unaffected limb has been proposed by previous authors (Daniel et al 1982, Barber et al 1990, Sapega 1990, Petschnig et al 1998). Whilst LSI has been reviewed for a large variety of potential variables, …

Establishing Normal Motion Between the Thigh to Pelvis and Trunk to Pelvis Segments in Female, Collegiate Volleyball and Soccer Athletes
… Natural double leg stance and single leg stance (dominant limb) were completed and the distance of the thigh to pelvis and trunk to pelvis segments as measured by an electromagnetic tracking system. The participants then performed a landing and lateral step-down task. Results: Results of the …

The Effects of Alterations to Upper Limb Inertial Properties on Vertical Point-to-Point Movement
Purpose: Several studies have examined intralimb coordination between the shoulder and elbow joints during target-oriented movements. These studies have observed consistent patterns in coordination despite changes in movement variables such as speed, direction, and inertia. Researchers used …

THE INFLUENCE OF THE BACK FUNCTIONAL LINE ON LOWER EXTREMITY FRONTAL PLANE KINEMATICS AND KINEMATIC PREDICTORS OF LOADING DURING RUNNING
… BFL as the muscle synergy composed of the non-dominant upper extremity (i.e., constrained side during unilateral condition) LD muscle, the dominant GM muscle, and the dominant VL muscle. The secondary BFL was defined as the dominant upper extremity (i.e., unconstrained during unilateral …

Position-specific isometric strength tests and their relationship with dynamic performance in collegiate athletes
… isometric strength in athletic populations predominantly using bilateral isometric pulling tests to reveal force-generating capabilities of athletes. However, there is a growing interest in exploring the relationship between dynamic performance and unilateral isometric pushing tests to enhance …
