Plantar pressure analysis : identifying risk of foot and ankle injury in soccer players
(Wiley, 2021-04-26)
The aim of this study was to determine whether risk factors for foot or ankle injuries could be identified using quantitative foot measurements. Male and female soccer players of all levels from 9 to 40 years old were ...
Computationally efficient model to predict the deformations of a cellular foot orthotic
(Elsevier, 2022-04-21)
Background
Foot orthotics (FOs) are frequently prescribed to provide comfortable walking for patients. Finite element (FE) simulation and 3D printing pave the way to analyse, optimize and fabricate functionally graded ...
Glenohumeral joint and muscles functions during a lifting task
(Elsevier, 2021-07-19)
The mobility of the healthy shoulder depends on complex interactions between the muscles spanning its glenohumeral joint. These interactions ensure the stability of this joint. While previous studies emphasized the complexity ...
Trunk and glenohumeral joint adaptations to manual wheelchair propulsion over a cross-slope : an exploratory study
(Elsevier, 2023-12-31)
Background: Cross-slopes are often encountered by manual wheelchair users propelling
within an urban setting. While propulsion over cross-slopes is more difficult than on level
surfaces, little is known about how the ...
The influence of proximal motor strategies on pianists' upper-limb movement variability
(Elsevier, 2023-06-07)
Repetitive movements are considered a risk factor for developing practice-related musculoskeletal disorders. Intra-participant kinematic variability might help musicians reduce the risk of injury during repetitive tasks. ...
Moment arms of the deltoid, infraspinatus and teres minor muscles for movements with high range of motion : a cadaveric study
(Elsevier, 2022-05-25)
Background
Moment arms are an indicator of the role of the muscles in joint actuation. An excursion method is often used to calculate them, even though it provides 1D results. As shoulder movement occurs in three dimensions ...
Finite element model of the shoulder with active rotator cuff muscles : application to wheelchair propulsion
(Springer, 2024-02-20)
Purpose: The rotator cuff is prone to injury, remarkably so for manual wheelchair users.
To understand its pathomechanisms, finite element models incorporating threedimensional activated muscles are needed to predict soft ...
Cavus foot in soccer players : increased prevalence in experienced players and risk factor for injury
(American Podiatric Medical Association, 2023-11)
Background: Foot type, especially cavus foot, is associated with foot and ankle soccer injuries, such as ankle sprains, ankle instability, and foot and ankle lateral injuries. The aim of
this study was to identify risk ...
Optimality equivalence and computational advantages of free-floating base dynamics compared to full-body dynamics
(Elsevier, 2022-12-19)
Several transcription methods exist for predictive simulations of free-floating base motions like athlete performing twisting somersaults. Following a brief overview of the literature, we proposed two original direct ...
Effect of expertise on shoulder and upper limb kinematics, electromyography, and estimated muscle forces during a lifting task
(SAGE, 2020-11-25)
Objective
To highlight the working strategies used by expert manual handlers compared with novice manual handlers, based on recordings of shoulder and upper limb kinematics, electromyography (EMG), and estimated muscle ...
