Trunk Lean in Control and Osteoarthritic Gait
Trunk lean over the stance limb during gait has been linked to a reduction in the knee adduction moment, which is associated with joint loading. Differences were examined in knee adduction moments and frontal plane trunk lean during gait between subjects with knee osteoarthritis and a control group …

The biomechanical effect of trunk inclination on joint moments and muscle activation in people with knee osteoarthritis
… of increased sagittal plane inclination of the trunk (forward trunk lean) and the effect this could have on hip, knee and ankle moments and muscle activation patterns. Three studies were conducted. The first sought to characterise differences in sagittal trunk inclination during walking, between …

The association between running kinematics and common overuse injuries in runners : implications for injury and rehabilitation
… pelvic drop, hip adduction and forward trunk lean, as well as reduced knee flexion and increased ankle dorsiflexion at initial contact. Within this study, a logistic regression analysis found peak contralateral pelvic drop to be the kinematic parameter most strongly associated with …

Changes in Body Composition, of College Football Players, Before and After a 14-week Competitive Football Season
… pre and post season using a DXA. Body mass, lean mass and fat mass were all evaluated. Subjects completed a 3-day diet record at both testing times, pre and post season. All measures were statistically analyzed for pre-post season differences. The players were looked at as a whole as well as …

The influence of trunk inclination on lower limb moments and muscle activation patterns
… knee OA walk with an increased flexion of the trunk. It is possible that this alteration in trunk position may underlie some of the previously observed biomechanical differences between people with knee OA and healthy control subjects. The overall aim of this thesis is to develop new insight …

The biomechanical changes during sport-specific tasks and different commercially available footwear in individuals following meniscectomy
… the findings in this thesis, other than greater trunk lean in the lateral meniscectomy during walking, there were no significant differences in knee loading between individuals following a medial meniscectomy and individuals following a lateral meniscectomy. The lack of differences in knee …

Biomechanical Outcomes of Distinct TKA Surgical Alignments and Implant Designs
… to the lack of difference in joint line, reduced trunk lean and preserving soft tissue structures in the KA technique, potentially the KA technique allows patients to move within the frontal plane instead of an avoidance strategy shown in the MA technique. Aim 1, hypothesis 1b indicated that JLO …
