Obstacle crossing behaviors in firefighters: effects of personal protective equipment and firefighter activity
… from physical exertion as well as extrinsic obstacles are commonly encountered. These hazards can lead to slip, trip, and fall (STF) related injuries, which constitute a large portion of annual severe firefighting injuries. The key objective of this work was to assess firefighters’ risk of …

Exploration of wheelchair propulsion biomechanics in straightforward propulsion, turning manoeuvres and obstacle crossing: The impacts of sex, age and training
… wheelchair propulsion tasks, e.g. turning and obstacle crossing, in novice able-bodied users. The thesis consists of 4 parts 9 chapters. The first part introduces the topic in the form of an introduction (chapter 1) and a literature review (chapter 2), followed by six experimental studies and …

Genotypic and Phenotypic Variation of the Florida Scrub Lizard (Sceloporus Woodi)
… strategies change as lizards approach obstacles of varying height. Obstacle size had a significant influence on both behavior (e.g. obstacle crossing strategy, intermittent locomotion) and performance (e.g. sprint speed, jump distance). Researchers should thus consider the complexity of …

The functional impact of amblyopia and its associated conditions : an investigation of the potential disability associated with amblyopia and its associated conditions.
… analysis system performance was assessed for an obstacle crossing task (adaptive gait) and a task of reaching for and grasping of an isolated object and in a ¿cluttered¿ environment. Fine motor skills were assessed in a threading a needle task. On the whole it was found that amblyopes are not …

Quantitative assessment of human gait patterns using biomechanical and dynamical tools
… of novel equipment design on level walking and obstacle crossing gait behavior and fall risk in firefighters. These new gait analysis techniques were found to provide effective and efficient ways to assess possible fall-prone gait behavior in a variety of populations.

The role of peripheral visual cues in planning and controlling movement :|ban investigation of which cues provided by different parts of the visual field influence the execution of movement and how they work to control upper and lower limb motion.
… towards a target (either a floor-based obstacle or an object to grasp). The absence of peripheral visual cues while moving disrupted the spatio-temporal dynamic relationship between subject and target and resulted in increased margins of safety between body and target and increased time …
