Lower-Extremity Interjoint Coordination During Stair Ascent in Knee Osteoarthritis and the Therapeutic Response to Tai Chi Training
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) alters lower-extremity kinematics during stair ascent, but interjoint coordination changes remain unclear. Improving coordination and balance is also a critical target for knee OA rehabilitation. This study compa...

Effects of Sex and Anatomical Location on Muscle and Adipose Thickness Surrounding the Proximal Femur: Implications for Fall-Related Impact Dynamics
Trochanteric soft tissues have significant effects on fall-related hip fracture risk; however, little is known about their composition and spatial distribution. Accordingly, this study determined (1) the influence of sex and anatomical l...

Integrating Athlete Perspectives and Head Kinematics in Youth American Football
The objectives of this study were to examine youth football athletes’ individual head acceleration event (HAEs) exposure, explore athletes’ perspectives and experiences playing youth football, and investigate relationships between their ...

Position of Swing-Phase Foot Relative to Stance-Phase Foot at Minimum Toe Clearance: The Effect of Walking Speed
Minimum toe clearance (MTC) location relative to the stance-phase foot, as well as how this location changes with walking speed, helps in better understanding the circumstances when MTC is most relevant. This study helps define where MTC...

The Effect of the Lateral Wedge Insoles on Cumulative Loads and Changes in Physical Activity of Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis leads to decreased physical activity. The knee adduction moment impulse is closely related to pain, multiplied by the number of steps per day, reflecting the cumulative knee adductor load (C...

Comparison of 3-Dimensional Thorax and Upper-Extremity Joint Kinematics During Manual Wheelchair Propulsion Using Marker-Based and Markerless-Based Biomechanical Models
Marker-based motion analysis is the standard for evaluating human movement, yet it is time-intensive and requires extensive technical knowledge. Markerless-based motion analysis can simplify and expedite clinical biomechanics research, b...

Individuals With Knee Osteoarthritis and Symmetrical Total Joint Moment Exhibit Bilateral Gait Characteristics Associated With Osteoarthritis
Interlimb asymmetries may influence contralateral knee osteoarthritis (OA) progression, yet research remains unclear. This study examined whether patient-reported outcomes and knee biomechanics differ between individuals with knee OA exh...

Do Pitching Biomechanics Differ Between Windup and Stretch Pitching Deliveries From a Dirt Surface Mound in College Baseball Pitchers?
It is unknown how pitching biomechanics in college baseball pitchers differ between windup and stretch pitching deliveries from a dirt surface mound. The purpose was to assess differences in shoulder and elbow kinetics and pitching kinem...

Evaluating the Agreement of Markerless Motion Capture for Joint Angle Estimation in a Constrained Hallway Setting Compared With a Traditional Laboratory Setting
Gait analysis is a valuable approach for understanding human movement, but the space and setup requirements of traditional marker-based systems can limit their use outside specialized laboratories. Markerless motion capture may provide a...
