Anterior compartment pressures of the leg as well kinematic and kinetic measures are significantly influenced by running technique. It is unknown whether adopting a forefoot strike technique will decrease pain disability associated with chronic exertional syndrome (CECS) in hindfoot runners.For people who have CECS, lead to decreased this condition.Case series; Level evidence, 4.Ten patients CECS indicated for surgical release were prospectively enrolled. Resting postrunning pressures,...
Abstract The recent explosion of wearable technology and the associated concerns prompted International Federation Sports Medicine (FIMS) to create a quality assurance standard for devices, which provides commissioned testing marketing claims endorsement commercial wearables that test favorably. An open forum as announced in conference advertising was held at Annual Meeting New England Regional Chapter American College (NEACSM) November 7 8, 2019, Providence, Rhode Island, USA attending...
Purpose: The ability of older adults to perform activities daily living (ADL) declines with age. One possible reason could be that require substantially greater effort than younger similar ADL. This study examined the effects age on biomechanics muscular in healthy during isometric torque production tasks. Methods: Thirty [15 (8 males, 7 females, aged 29.3 ± 5.53 yr) and 15 70.8 3.6 yr)] participated this study. After determination maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) strength for both elbow...
The experience of chronic pain critically alters one's ability to interact with their environment. One fundamental issue that has received little attention, however, is whether disrupts how one perceives environment in the first place. Economy Action hypothesis purports spatially scaled according observer. Under this it been proposed perception world different between those and without pain. Such a possibility profound implications for investigation treatment present tested application...
The Broken Hill orebody, in Australia, is hosted pelitic and psammitic gneisses that underwent metamorphism the granulite facies. Peak area occurred around 1600 Ma exceeded temperatures of 850°C at pressures 5–7 kilobars. orebody located an intense deformation 5 to 15 million years after peak metamorphism. Highly foliated schist directly adjacent contains assemblages ranging from quartz –K-feldspar – biotite garnet sillimanite muscovite staurolite chlorite. latter assemblage equilibrated as...
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the possible concurrent validity tandem walk test as a measure dynamic walking balance.Methods: Forty-nine healthy participants, age range 20-75 years (mean 40.1 ± 17.1 years), performed ten step and two clinical tests balance using Biodex Balance System (Biodex Medical Systems, Shirley, NY) limits stability protocol measures gait variability assessed through center pressure, spatial, temporal parameters derived from an instrumented...
While the scientific literature has confirmed importance of high maximal aerobic power to successful cross-country skiing performance, same cannot be said technique or gliding characteristics skis. The purpose this study was determine whether glide speed related Olympic race performance. Male competitors in 50-km freestyle event were videotaped during 1992 Winter Games. Glide speeds entire field measured through a 20-m flat section at bottom 150-m, 12° downhill. A significant correlation ( r...
There are various instrumented methods of assessing static balance. One the most common devices used to assess balance is Biodex Balance System SD (BBS) (Biodex Medical Systems, Inc.), a specialized force platform that utilizes strain gauges measure center pressure (COP) sway patterns in anterior-posterior (A-P) and medio-lateral (M-L) directions. An alternative device Zebris FDM (FDM) (Zebris GmbH), which uses sensors COP A-P M-L PURPOSE: To establish validity for by determining...
The women's 30-km freestyle cross-country race at the 1992 Winter Olympic Games was selected to determine kinematic differences between more and less successful skiers. Three-dimensional filming techniques were used capture movement patterns on level terrain of 8 skiers who placed in top 50% (Group 1) bottom 2) field. mean cycle velocity for Group 1 significantly faster ( p < .005) than 2. Significant correlations .05) found r = .89) length rate -.82). had greater .03) weak-side elbow...
Complex training where a high-load conditioning stimulus (CS) is performed prior to biomechanically similar plyometric movement has been demonstrated acutely enhance the performance of in phenomenon called post-activation enhancement (PAPE). Despite positive influence PAPE can have on power production, abundance research only investigated locally while comparing movements. The purpose this study was determine if heavy barbell bench press could elicit lower body movement. Eight (n = 8)...
Fast development of the coalbed natural gas (CBNG) industry in many parts western U.S. has resulted co-production potentially saline- sodic waters, hereafter referred to as CBNG water. Management water is a major environmental challenge because its quantity and quality. In this study, potential utilization calcium (Ca 2+ )-rich zeolites were examined for removal sodium (Na + ) from waters. Zeolite samples St. Cloud (ST) zeolite mine Winston, NM Bear River (BR) Preston, ID. The materials used...
Background: Falls have been attributed to deterioration of dynamic walking balance.Accurate age-range determination balance has yet be elucidated.The purpose this quasi-experimental study was determine, by age/decade range, provide a more accurate age range for interventional assessment and treatment.Methods: Participant demographic data were collected [age (years), gender, height (cm), body mass (kg), index (BMI) (kg•m -²)] on one hundred fifteen individuals between the ages 20 80...
Over the past 20 to 30 years, sport equipment manufacturers have investigated ways of improving athletic performance through enhanced storage and return energy in shoes. The maximal returned from a conventional shoe sole is typically smaller than 1% needed for task at hand (Nigg, 2010). One possible solution increase footwear utilize carbon fiber insole tuned optimal human body-footwear system. PURPOSE: To determine if (XG4 Performance Insole; ROAR Performance; Milford, CT) can improve...
The tandem walk test (TWT) has been utilized for both clinical and research applications as a objectively measuring dynamic walking balance in pathologic normal populations. No studies were found that attempted to determine relationship between the TWT criterion standard or other validated tests of balance. PURPOSE: purpose this study was validity measure METHODS: Twenty healthy participants, age range 20 – 70 years, performed two balance, Biodex Balance System (Shirley, NY) limits stability...
