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 ...
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 ...
Shoulder electromyography-based indicators to assess manifestation of muscle fatigue during laboratory-simulated manual handling task
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-08-14)
Muscle fatigue is a risk factor for developing shoulder musculoskeletal disorders. The aim of this study was to identify shoulder electromyographic indicators that are most indicative of muscle fatigue during a laboratory ...
Anti-pronator components are essential to effectively alter lower-limb kinematics and kinetics in individuals with flexible flatfeet
(Elsevier, 2021-05-23)
Background
Foot orthoses are commonly used to correct for foot alterations and especially address excessive foot pronation in individuals with flatfeet. In recent years, 3D printing has taken a key place in orthotic ...
Intracapsular pressures in the flexion-abduction-external rotation and flexion-adduction-internal rotation tests and their comparison with classic hip range of motion : a cadaveric assessment
(Elsevier, 2021-11-11)
Background
Flexion-Abduction-External-Rotation and Flexion-Adduction-Internal-Rotation tests are used to reproduce pain at the hip during clinical assessment. As pain can be elicited by high intracapsular pressure, no ...
Proximal-to-distal sequences of attack and release movements of expert pianists during pressed-staccato keystrokes
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-08-12)
The aims of this study were to i) evaluate proximal-to-distal sequencing (PDS) in pianists’ attack and release movements during pressed-staccato keystrokes, and ii) investigate if trunk motion facilitates PDS of upper-limb ...
Reliability of the kinematic theory parameters during handwriting tasks on a vertical setup
(Elsevier, 2021-10-07)
Background
The Kinematic Theory and its Sigma–Lognormal model have been used extensively in motor control analyses. It has recently shown promise in its ability to detect neuromuscular fatigue in the shoulder. The use of ...
Effect of 3D printed foot orthoses stiffness on muscle activity and plantar pressures in individuals with flexible flatfeet : a statistical non-parametric mapping study
(Elsevier, 2021-12-29)
Background
The 3D printing technology allows to produce custom shapes and add functionalities to foot orthoses which offers better options for the treatment of flatfeet. This study aimed to assess the effect of 3D printed ...
