Quantifying Joint Coordination Variability in Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Reconstructed Individuals During Walking
The knee is the second most common joint to sustain injury. An estimated 200,000 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures occur each year in the United States alone, and about 100,000 ACL reconstruction (ACLR) surgeries are performed annually. There is a significant risk of developing …

Joint Coordination Variability In Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstructed Subjects During Stair Ambulation Using a Vector Coding Technique
… treatment for this injury to restore knee joint stability and function. While surgical reconstruction has been shown to restore laxity of the knee, current literature lacks consensus on return to normal knee joint kinematics following surgery. Additionally, re-injury is a major risk for …

Developing and Evaluating New Methods for Assessing Postural Control and Dynamics
… research has been conducted regarding postural coordination and control, and other mechanisms/processes involved in maintaining postural stability. However, there is relatively limited knowledge regarding the patterns of joint coordination, the underlying postural controller, and efficient …

Biomechanical Adaptations to an Implemented Ramp Angle in Recreational Alpine Skiers
… skier balance and pressure control. Thus, joint coordination and center of pressure maintenance in alpine skiers (n = 19) was investigated during simulated ski squat and balance tasks with increasing binding ramp angles (0°, 1°, 2°). Greater sagittal plane center of pressure excursions were …

Quantifying coordination of human gait : fall risk and effects of aging
… hardship among older adults. Compromised coordination, defined as a decrease in the ability to properly time the motion of body segments with one another, is thought to be one factor contributing to the high rate of falls in older populations. Thus, coordination is often used by clinicians …

Biomechanical Golf Swing Analysis using Markerless Three-Dimensional Skeletal Tracking through Truncation-Robust Heatmaps
… computer vision framework to model and measure joint angles and angular velocities throughout the golf swing. Using two-dimensional video footage of right-handed golfers performing driver swings, the MeTRAbs pose estimation model and supplemental cross-frame temporal motion sequencing code were …

Outcomes of Trans-border Spatial Development Cooperation: Insights from Musina and Beitbridge Twinning Agreement
… in the twinning document were not achieved. The Joint coordination meetings were no longer being conducted, benchmarking exercises were not conducted, the goals were not time-bound, there was no standalone budget, no central secretariat and lastly, the majority of the local residents were not …

Multi-segment coordination within the foot in children with and without clubfoot during walking, toe raises and single limp hopping
… study was to assess kinematics, kinetics and joint coupling within the foot in children previously treated for clubfoot. Sixteen children with 23 affected clubfeet and 16 children without history of clubfoot underwent three-dimensional motion analysis using a multi-segment foot model, during …

Towards Understanding the Effects of Exoskeletons on Sensory Integration and Step Regulation
… at the lower limbs involves augmenting the joint forces while not interfering with the user's intent. However, the human body is highly redundant, locomotive tasks can be performed through a large range of joint coordination and the way in which locomotion is achieved is closely tied to the …

The Psychology of Ritual: An Empirical Investigation of Ritual’s Regulatory Functions and Psychological Processes
Traditionally, ritual has been studied from broad sociocultural perspectives. Recently, however, psychologists have begun turning their attention to the study of ritual, uncovering the causal properties driving this puzzling yet universal aspect of human behavior. With growing interest in the …

Gait Variability for Predicting Individual Performance in Military-Relevant Tasks
… is inherently complex, requiring the control and coordination of many neurophysiological and biomechanical degrees-of-freedom, and the extent to which individuals exhibit variation in their movement patterns is captured by the construct of motor variability (MV). MV is being used increasingly to …

New Approach to Dynamic Spectrum Management for DSL Environments = Contribución a la gestión dinámica del espectro en es escenarios DSL
… as a function of the physical channel or by joint coordination on the signal level, so called vectoring, taking into consideration channel conditions. This technology can contribute to the development of future data networks that will be more reliable, provide increased data rates and reduce …
