The effect of backpack load on trunk kinematics of imitated pathological gait: a case study
… determine the acute effect of backpack load on kinematics of the trunk during typical and imitated pathological gait. Methods: COVID 19 restrictions precluded the use of multiple subjects as originally planned, therefore in response to those limitations only one healthy female (25 yrs) performed …

Non-Treadmill Trip Training – Laboratory Efficacy, Validation of Inertial Measurement Units, and Tripping Kinematics in the Real World
… be more beneficial in improving recovery step kinematics, while TT may be more beneficial in improving trunk kinematics, compared to the control. While the first study showed the effects of PBT on laboratory-induced trips, little is known about how such training affects responses to real-world …

Investigating the effectiveness of posture coaching and feedback during patient handling activities in a student nursing population
… perform a preliminary biomechanical analysis of trunk kinematics and muscle activity during common patient handling activities to aid in the determination of coaching for a follow up feedback study. The second section determined the effects of a feedback intervention (combined verbal and …

Influence of rear wheel tire type on wheelchair propulsion biomechanics
… five different pairs of tires. Upper limb and trunk kinematics, perceived exertion, stroke pattern and the temporal characteristics of propulsion were measured. When using pneumatic (air filled) tires, with lower rolling resistance, participants had lower push frequency (p < .05), higher self …

Understanding the effects of obesity and age on likelihood of tripping and subsequent balance recovery
… rate, stepping strategy and characteristics, and trunk kinematics. Obese, older, and female adults fell more frequently after tripping and this higher fall rate may help explain the higher fall rates among obese, older and female adults reported elsewhere. Failed recoveries were associated with …

Exercise-Induced Low Back Pain and Neuromuscular Control of the Spine - Experimentation and Simulation
… with altered neuromuscular control of the trunk, as well as impaired performance during functional tasks highly dependent upon trunk neuromuscular control. Comparing measurements between individuals with and without LBP does not distinguish whether the LBP individual exhibits altered …

Trunk loading and back pain
An essential function of the trunk is the compensation of external forces and loads in order to guarantee stability. Stabilising the trunk during sudden, repetitive loading in everyday tasks, as well as during performance is important in order to protect against injury. Hence, reduced trunk …

An Investigation of Technique and Equipment Factors Associated with Clubhead Speed in Golf
… such as height and physical factors such as trunk rotational power have been previously considered to be of importance. However, biomechanical factors such as; the X-factor (separation of the trunk-pelvis alignment when viewed in the transverse plane), have been a major focus of recent …

Shoulder pain in manual wheelchair users: towards a multi-disciplinary solution for a multi-faceted problem
It is estimated that there are over 2 million manual wheelchair users in the United States. Up to 70% of manual wheelchair users report upper limb pain, which is mainly manifested in the shoulder and wrist. Shoulder pain in wheelchair users is linked to difficulty performing activities of daily …
