Diabetes Mellitus and Limited Joint Mobility in the Upper Extremity
… and understudied in people with DM. Limited joint mobility (LJM) is a systemic complication of DM believed to be caused by thickening and stiffness of periarticular connective tissue due to non-enzymatic accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), and resultant cross-link …

The Rise of Modern Avian Flight: Wing Movement and Joint Mobility Within Ornithurae
… To decipher a link between 3D wing joint mobility and the flight ecology in living birds, I captured and analysed the 3D wing kinematics of bird cadavers representing nine species through biplanar fluoroscopy (XROMM) and quantified their *ex vivo* movement envelopes. I developed a …

The relationship between kinaesthesia, motor performance, physical fitness and joint mobility in children with and without joint hypermobility in Nigeria
Background: Some children with generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) develop symptoms at some point, which could negatively affect their overall health status. When GJH presents with symptoms, it is described as benign joint hypermobility syndrome (BJHS). Some of the symptoms may include pain, soft …

On the deformation of human skin for mechanical counter pressure space suit development
… space suits that do not inhibit astronaut mobility. Gas pressurized suits are typically bulky and stiff to operate or require unnatural human motion. Development of mechanical counter pressure (MCP) space suits can change the current space suit design paradigm. The primary goal of this …

VERT-Derived Jump Volume and Intensity Related to Functional Movement Quality in Female Collegiate Volleyball Players
… neuromuscular function, motor control, and joint mobility. This study aims to investigate the relationship between jump metrics measured using the VERT Team System and functional movement quality assessed using three NASM transitional movement assessments. Methods: VERT wearable sensors were …

Evolved neural network approximation of discontinuous vector fields in unit quaternion space (S3) for anatomical joint constraint
… of anatomically correct three-dimensional joints for the simulation of humans is a complex process, a key difficulty being the correction of invalid joint configurations to the nearest valid alternative. Personalised models based on individual joint mobility are in demand in both animation …

Proprioception, balance and lower limb strength in Nigerian children (7-10 years) with Generalized Joint Hypermobility and Developmental Coordination Disorder
… as having a higher prevalence of generalised joint hypermobility (GJH) than their Caucasian counterparts. It is believed that abnormal joint biomechanics as a result of the joint laxity contribute to the damage of joints. The ability to perceive movement or position sense at joints …

Fish fins and fast-starts: Multi-level analyses reveal functional variation within median fins of bluegill sunfish.
… positional variations in fin-ray flexibility and joint mobility. Based on variation in morphological and biomechanical properties, regional differences in fin-ray kinematics during locomotion, allowing discrete regions of the fins to perform distinct functional roles, were proposed. …

Deformation and fracture of soft materials for cartilage tissue engineering
… cartilage can cause severe pain and restricted mobility, with few long term treatments available. The developing field of tissue engineering offers an alternative to the currently used full joint replacement. Restoring damaged cartilage through tissue engineering would enable an active lifestyle …

Valutazione degli effetti dell'esercizio fisico adattato sulla capacità fisica e sulla regolazione cardiocircolatoria in pazienti con sclerosi multipla
… and exercises for balance, coordination, joint mobility and stretching. Cardiopulmonary testing on a electromagnetically braked cycle-ergometer was used to assess maximum workload (Wmax), oxygen uptake (VO2max), carbon dioxide output (VCO2max), pulmonary ventilation (Vemax) and heart rate …

Developing an evidence-based instrument to guide transfemoral prosthetic prescription in South Africa
… prescription. Physical ability, muscle strength, joint mobility, and stump condition were identified as important determinants of prosthetic function. The findings also underscored the importance of mental health, user expectations, and systemic factors like pre prosthetic rehabilitation. The …

A longitudinal study on possible correlates that might explain the onset and progression of musculoskeletal symptoms in school-aged children with Generalized Joint Hypermobility
Background: Generalized Joint Hypermobility (GJH) is an increased joint range of motion in multiple joints. Its prevalence in the general population is usually a function of age, gender, ethnicity and Beighton score cut-off score. GJH has been documented to be beneficial to sports and activities …

Role of Transverse Plane Hip Range of Motion and Strength on Pain and Function in Hip Osteoarthritis
… is a chronic, progressive disease that decreases joint mobility and function and is associated with disability and musculoskeletal pain (Bieler et al., 2017; O’Neill et al., 2018; O’Neill & Felson, 2018; Rydevik et al., 2010). According to the Centers for Disease Control, hip OA affects 1 in 7 …

CHILDREN’S HIPS: INNOVATION IN THE DIAGNOSIS, MONITORING AND TREATMENT OF CHILDREN’S HIP DISEASES
… The results of Study 3 highlighted that hip mobility is an important outcome to measure in clinical trials for Perthes’ disease, but to date there is no system able to continuously monitor hip angle in children. Thus, Study 4 aim was to develop a wearable device capable of continuously …
