Identification of a runner sustaining a potential injury remains challenging. This exploratory, cross-institutional study sought to determine whether ground reaction force (GRF) characteristics during steady-state running could identify competitive collegiate distance runners who would later sustain lower extremity injuries. Normative boundaries for 10 GRF variables during braking and propulsion were established for noninjured runners using median ± scaled median absolute deviation. A subanalysis was conducted on runners with and without impact peaks in vertical GRF to mitigate the influence of impact peaks on GRF variables. We hypothesized that prior to injury, runners who later developed an injury would have more GRF variables outside of the normative boundaries than noninjured runners. Using Cliff's method, a rank-based, nonparametric method for comparing 2 independent groups, we found no statistically significant difference between the number of variables outside the boundaries for injured and noninjured runners overall (P = .17). However, injured runners without impact peaks had more variables outside the normative boundaries than noninjured runners (P < .001). This novel analytical approach demonstrates the potential for preidentifying collegiate distance runners without impact peaks who may be at risk for injury.","PeriodicalId":54883,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143775012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, implements of different shapes and masses are thrown from short run-ups to emulate the demands of achieving high throwing distances. This study examined the effects of different implements, thrown from various approaches, on the kinematics and kinetics of the throwing arm. The throwing motions of 6 athletes, each throwing 6 different implements were recorded using 12 infrared cameras. Kinematics and kinetics of the shoulder and elbow joints were calculated and statistically compared. The results show that lighter implement throws achieved higher release speeds, while heavier implements required greater work to be done on them. We identified significant differences for the shoulder external rotation angle (P < .001), the shoulder internal rotation (P = .040), and elbow extension (P = .003) angular velocities and the torques of the shoulder internal rotation (P = .006), horizontal flexion (P = .004), and the elbow varus (P = .008). It can be concluded that throws with balls of different masses have different angular velocities and joint torques, and therefore can be used to train speed and strength aspects of the javelin throw while using lower run-up speeds.","PeriodicalId":54883,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143775016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dowel features several characteristics that are optimal for research in a laboratory setting, however, it lacks applicability in real-life situations. The purpose of this study was to compare measures of obstacle crossing for the traditional laboratory obstacle (the dowel) to several real-world obstacles. Thirty healthy, young adults (23 [4] y, range: 19-35 y) completed 6 barefoot walking conditions over an 8-m instrumented walkway while motion was recorded in 3D. Participants performed unobstructed walking as familiarization trials and 5 obstructed walking conditions were presented in a randomized order: (1) dowel, (2) branch, (3) parking curb, (4) puddle, and (5) caution rope. Measures of vertical and horizontal obstacle clearance indicate that healthy young adults cross the dowel obstacle differently than they cross real-world obstacles, such as a curb, a puddle, and a caution rope but most similar to a branch. Since dowel rods have historically been used to assess obstacle crossing strategies, we encourage researchers and readers to exercise caution when extrapolating findings to real-world obstacles found in everyday life.","PeriodicalId":54883,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143712198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A secondary analysis of covariance model with speed as the covariate indicated no significant effect of emotional condition on knee adduction moment (P > .05), which suggests that the changes from baseline can be attributed to the changes in walking speed.

Participants performed quiet standing, walking, jumping jacks, high knees, and running tasks on a force plate treadmill in each condition to collect postural measures associated with center of pressure (COP). COP measures were also evaluated with respect to body composition, metabolic health markers, and sex hormone profiles. COP measures were larger in high knees and jumping tasks with respect to quiet standing. Across running speeds, conventional bras were associated with the largest COP metrics. Analysis of covariance analysis indicated increased anthropometry measures such as mass and body fat percentage resulted in decreased COP area and favored mediolateral orientation.

A total of 32 (15 females and 17 males) recreational basketball players were asked to perform 4 different arm-reaching movements during the flight phase: no reaching, left (LAR), right (RAR), and bilateral (BAR) arm reaching. Knee and hip flexion and abduction angles at initial ground contact, peak ground reaction force within 100 milliseconds after contact, and peak moments for the hip and knee joints were analyzed. LAR, RAR, and BAR showed significantly smaller peak hip and knee flexion angles, while LAR demonstrated a significant increase in the knee's peak abduction angle. Furthermore, the peak abduction moments of LAR were significantly increased in both males and females. Aerial basketball catching movements resulted in stiffer leg joints and larger knee abduction during landing, which was a potential factor in increasing the risk of lower-limb injury upon landing. It is recommended to include a softer landing technique and implement a training program for enhancing knee joint stabilization in the frontal plane.","PeriodicalId":54883,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143634596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using ankle foot orthosis (AFO) may enhance gait by supporting weak muscles. This study examined whether wearing AFOs improved the spatiotemporal gait characteristics of patients with PAD to be closer to those of healthy individuals, both from its first use and after a 3-month intervention. Spatiotemporal parameters were calculated from the kinematics of 26 patients with PAD captured in a biomechanics lab. Subjects walked with and without AFOs before and following a 3-month AFO intervention on a crossover basis. The immediate intervention group wore AFOs for 3 months (intervention) before switching to their control shoes (control), while the delayed intervention group followed the reverse sequence. Means and standard deviations (variability) for step width, length, time, and velocity were compared using separate linear repeated measures models. The models included group (immediate vs delayed intervention), time (before vs after intervention or baseline vs 3 mo), and condition (non-AFO vs AFO) as factors of comparison, in addition to interactions, if significant. A 3-month AFO intervention enhanced the temporal gait parameters and reduced gait variability. The mean and variability of temporal gait parameters were sensitive enough to determine whether patients walked more like healthy individuals after a 3-month AFO intervention. This may decrease fall risk and promote more efficient walking patterns in patients with PAD. The long-term benefits and adherence to AFOs and other assistive devices need further study.","PeriodicalId":54883,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143568877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cortical excitability increases with the observation of motor skills. However, it is unknown if this effect can be additive to that resulting from an internal attentional focus during resistance exercise. A crossover-study design was employed to examine the acute effects of combining mirror self-motor observation (MO) and internally focused verbal instructions on mechanical output and muscle activation during isokinetic concentric knee-extension exercise. Ten participants were tested in 2 different conditions: verbal alone and verbal + MO-mirror. The combination of verbal + MO-mirror attenuated the decrease in torque output in response to 6 sets of 10 isokinetic contractions (P = .043). Interestingly, this effect was paired by a lower-level antagonist/agonist coactivation with the verbal + MO-mirror condition (P = .031). No other differences between conditions were noted. Taken together, these results suggest that the combination of both cueing modalities elicits a more effective contraction strategy during knee-extension exercise. Ultimately, this provides preliminary evidence of better motor performance and heightened fatigue resistance in response to isokinetic exercise.","PeriodicalId":54883,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143516382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stroke participants were classified by walking speed as slow (<0.79) or fast (>0.80 m/s), and joint kinematics and kinetics at the pelvis, hip, knee, and ankle were measured during walking on level ground at self-selected speed. Ten walking biomechanical parameters correlated to walking speed (ρ ≥ .550). Stroke survivors in the slow group walked with significantly greater range of sagittal plane pelvic motion (P < .009), reduced range of hip adduction and abduction (P < .011), and smaller peak hip extension angle (P < .011) and hip flexion moment (P < .029) for the paretic limb.
