The elevation of metabolic rate after combined arm-and-leg versus leg-only exercise
Previous investigations have shown that metabolic rate remains elevated for a period of time after the cessation of exercise. While other investigations have examined the effect of intensity and duration of prior exercise, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of exercise mode and the …

A metabolically efficient leg brace
… or powered. Both have been created to aid in the leg's generation of a ground reaction force which supports the torso during locomotion, yet their inherent design has limited their functional growth to date. While many differing gait simulations have demonstrated stable solutions for lossless gait …

Biomechanical Sex Differences Between Freshman and Sophomore Athletes in a Single-Leg Squat and Single-Leg Land
… was to investigate sex differences in single-leg squat kinematics and single-leg landing kinetics between freshman and sophomore athletes. Single-leg squat results revealed women had greater peak knee lateral rotation displacement, but no difference in total angular distances. Freshman and …

Analysis and Comparison of Space Vector Modulation Schemes for Three-Leg and Four-Leg Voltage Source Inverters
… modulation schemes have been analyzed for three-leg and four-leg voltage source inverters. The analysis is performed with respect to a) switching losses, b) total harmonic distortion, c) peak-to-peak ripple in the line current and d) the ease of digital implementation. The analysis is performed …

Ratings of perceived exertion during steady-state exercise using leg-only versus arm-and-leg cycle ergometry
… the Ratings of Perceived Exertion (RPE) of college-age females during steady-state leg-only (LE) and combined arm-and-leg exercise (ALE) using the 15-point Borg RPE scale. Volunteer subjects were 16 healthy, physically active female students, mean age 21.0 years (SE 0.33) and a percent body fat …

Biomechanical characteristics of multidirectional single-leg landing
Single-leg landing (SLL) is a functional task that has been linked to injury. It is the test most used in both research and clinical practice to evaluate the dynamic stability of the lower extremities, particularly the knee joint. It is also an important screening tool that can be used to identify …

A gait generation mechanism for leg rehabilitation therapy
… mechanism for rehabilitation of paralyzed legs. This mechanism should provide an appropriate afferent input to the spinal cord by moving the legs in a physiological way. This thesis focuses on the dimensional synthesis of a four-bar linkage to reproduce the desired ankle trajectory in the …

Signaling of integrin lower leg and transmembrane domains
… domain through two long extracellular legs to the ligand-binding headpiece. In addition, integrin TM homomeric association was also observed. But the role of this interaction remains elusive. In this work, the platelet integrin, αIIbβ3, has been used to elucidate the roles of integrin …

Development of leg motor neurons in drosophila melanogaster
… while adult flies walk and fly using legs and wings. Leg motor neurons control multi-jointed leg movement by coordinately regulating leg muscle contractions. With the aim of understanding how Drosophila leg motor neurons are specified, in Chapter One, I give a general introduction of …

Tension-Leg Platform for Offshore Diffusor-AugmentedHydrokinetic Turbine
… hydrokinetic turbine, supported by a tension-leg platform, to harness ocean and tidal currents for renewable energy production. By incorporating diffuser technology, the turbine’s efficiency is enhanced, increasing the coefficient of power and enabling effective energy capture even in …

When a leg ulcer becomes chronic : a phenomenological study of the older adult’s experience of living with a chronic venous leg ulcer
… disorder is the development of a venous leg ulcer. Chronic venous leg ulcers can have a negative impact on the general well-being of the older adult and costs to the health care system associated with the treatment of chronic venous leg ulcers are substantial. A review of the literature …

Perceived Submaximal Leg Extension Forces of Young Adult Males
… (AF) productions of males for accuracy during leg extensions when given a random desired force (DF) ranging from 10-90% of maximal force (MF). Thirty males ranging from 18 to 30 years of age (M = 21.99 + 3.04), who had no previous experience with the test equipment, went through 9 randomly …

Turkey-leg-tendon : a model system for collagen mineralisation
Turkey leg tendon (TLT) is used as a model system to explore the process of collagen mineralisation. Mineralisation takes place in distinct regions across the length of the tendon and is accompanied by a change in biomechanical properties of collagen. The collagen becomes more aligned and adapted …

P-Delta effect for leg members of latticed communication towers.
Guyed Latticed Communication Towers are highly complex structures which are very difficult to model and analyze. Because of their geometric non-linearity, P-D effects are significant. To evaluate this, a sample guyed tower with one set of guys was modeled and linear and non-linear analyses were …

Measuring Area and Volume of Leg Ulcers by Structured Light
Ulcers of the human skin are difficult to cure and a massive burden to patients. Their treatment costs in the UK are in excess of £100 million annually (1989). Both suffering and costs can be reduced significantly by establishing if an ulcer is responding to treatment. Any measurement device must …
