Assessment of joint kinetics in elite sprint cyclists
… the net muscle actions acting across any joint contributing to movement. However, analysis of joint kinetics requires motion-capture techniques that present some unique challenges for cycling. This thesis presents three studies investigating the application of a custom-designed force pedal …

Walking Speed, Gait Asymmetry, and Motor Variability
… speed trials. JMP Pro 13 was used to compare joint kinetics and gait kinematics for all aims. Marker placement was repeatable between time points. Participants walked slower in the self-selected walking speed trial, which resulted in both kinematic and kinetic gait mechanics alterations. Gait …

Ankle Kinetics During Landing Tasks in Participants with Chronic Ankle Instability and Uninjured Controls
… has focused on sagittal plane kinematics and kinetics. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare three-dimensional ankle joint kinetics during functional landing tasks in participants with CAI and uninjured controls. Participants performed single-leg vertical drop landings and …

A randomised control trial for the restoration of functional ability in patients post total knee arthroplasty: Eccentric versus concentric cycling ergometry
… the total knee arthroplasty procedure improves joint-specific outcomes, including pain and range of movement, functional deficits post-surgery has been noted. Movement abnormalities and quadriceps weakness of the operated limb, as well as a decrease in strength on the non-operated have been …

Biomechanics of foot function in relation to sports performance
… a focus on the role of the metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ). Currently, little is known about the effect of footwear upon the normal biomechanical function of the MPJ during sprinting, as this joint has often been neglected in previous biomechanical studies of lower limb energetics. A series of …

Determining muscle-tendon characteristics and function of stretch-shortening cycle performance in dancers
… in dance is potentially twofold as the primary joint: to both generate torque during dance-specific SSC’s and to achieve stylistic “pointing” of the toes – hyper-plantarflexion. Little research has delineated the MTU properties surrounding the ankle-joint of dancers and how they might influence …

THE BIOMECHANICAL ASSESSMENT OF TAI CHI CHUAN MOVEMENT AND IMPLICATION IN REHABILITATION EXERCISE
… has been done on the relationship between joint kinetics of the TCC practitioners and walking gait. This study aimed to investigate whether TCC improves lower limb conditions. Also, the muscle forces during gait will be analysed using computer musculoskeletal …

Hip and Knee Biomechanics for Transtibial Amputees in Gait, Cycling, and Elliptical Training
… at increased risk of contralateral hip and knee joint osteoarthritis, likely due to abnormal biomechanics. Biomechanical challenges exist for transtibial amputees in gait and cycling; particularly, asymmetry in ground/pedal reaction forces and joint kinetics is well documented and …

High flexion kinematics and kinetics for the improvement of artificial knee joints
… created for high flexion activities, if the knee joint kinematics and joint contact forces applied during finite element testing, knee simulator testing, and fatigue testing were more physiologically accurate. The objective of this work was to determine knee joint kinematics and contact forces …

Differences in Running Mechanics Between Overweight/Obese and Healthy Weight Children
… would display higher vertical loading, greater joint moments and greater joint angular impulses during running. We also expect decreased sagittal plane range of motion and increased frontal plane range of motion of the hip, knee, and ankle joints in the OV/OB group during running. Methods: …
