This study helps define where MTC occurs for the swing-phase foot in relation to the stance-phase foot. Gait speed was assessed also to determine its effect on this relative positioning. 3D lower body gait data were collected from 14 barefoot participants (age: 8-14 y). Participants ambulated at slow, self-selected, and fast gait speeds. At all speeds, MTC was found to occur closer to the tip of the hallux rather than to the heel of the stance-phase foot. At slow gait speeds, the MTC was 70.2% from the heel. For the self-selected and fast speeds, the MTC was 113.6% and 98.8% from the heel, respectively. Though the location changed, the vertical height of the swing-phase foot at MTC did not change significantly as a function of gait speed. These results indicate that the location of MTC is significantly impacted by the placement of the stance-phase foot as well as walking speed. These factors can play a role in assessing the risk of tripping when an unexpected trip hazard is present.","PeriodicalId":54883,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"212-218"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147470234","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 purpose of this study was to compare 3-dimensional thorax and bilateral upper-extremity joint kinematics during manual wheelchair propulsion between criterion-standard marker-based and novel markerless-based biomechanical models. Fifteen young adult, manual wheelchair users propelled on a stationary roller while synchronized optical motion analysis cameras recorded 3-dimensional marker trajectory and 2-dimensional video data simultaneously. Statistical parametric mapping was used to evaluate kinematic differences between models. Pearson correlation and average root mean square were also used to explore the relationships and the magnitudes of observed differences between models. Significant differences in thorax and upper-extremity joint kinematics were observed between the models (P < .05). Joint angle differences varied in magnitude from 3.6° to 36.6° and joint center differences varied in magnitude from 0.4 to 2.4 cm. Differences were dependent upon the joint and anatomical plane/axis. Despite some observed limitations, markerless-based motion analysis may be a useful clinical research tool to evaluate thorax and upper-extremity kinematics during wheelchair mobility.","PeriodicalId":54883,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"192-203"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147328192","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}

Eighteen college pitchers pitched from a dirt surface mound using windup and stretch pitching deliveries. All pitchers were tested using a 240-Hz, 12-camera motion analysis system, and 28 kinematic and 7 kinetic parameters were calculated. Paired within-subjects t tests (P < .05) were used to assess biomechanical differences between windup and stretch deliveries. Maximum shoulder horizontal adduction torque, maximum shoulder anterior force, maximum lead knee height, ball velocity at ball release, forward trunk tilt at ball release, maximum upper trunk angular velocity, maximum elbow extension angular velocity, and maximum shoulder internal rotation angular velocity were all significantly greater using a windup delivery compared with a stretch delivery. Pelvic drift at maximum lead knee height was the only parameter that was significantly greater in a stretch delivery compared with a windup delivery. Nine of the 35 (26%) biomechanical parameters were significantly different between windup and stretch deliveries. Shoulder injury risk may be slightly lower using a stretch delivery compared with a windup delivery due to overall lower shoulder kinetics during the stretch delivery.","PeriodicalId":54883,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Biomechanics","volume":" ","pages":"165-172"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146776954","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}

Twenty-seven recreational runners (14 females, age: 33.7 [12.8] y, mass: 70.2 [12.5] kg, height: 175.9 [9.1] cm) completed laboratory-based RE, biomechanics, and isokinetic dynamometry testing. Linear regression analyses were used to determine the effect of lower extremity joint work, stiffness, and strength on RE for each grade. Greater ankle plantar flexor work was predictive of better economy when running on the 10% grade (β = -3054.56; P = .013), but not the level ground or 5% grade (P > .05). No other joint work, stiffness, or strength factors were related to RE. A secondary analysis explored the relationship of training factors to RE, demonstrating better 10% grade RE (P = .015) and greater ankle work (P = .048) in trail runners compared with road runners. The results of this study suggest that targeting the energy generation capacity of the plantar flexors may be worthwhile for improving uphill RE.

Delayed onset of muscle soreness increased at 24- and 48-hour postexercise compared to Pre-exercise. At 0 hours, a positive, moderate correlation was observed between dynamic force loss and MUAP of the vastus lateralis (VL). Two moderate positive correlations were observed between firing rate of rectus femoris and minimum temperature, and between the recruitment threshold of VL and mean temperature. At 24-hour postexercise, a positive moderate correlation was observed between dynamic peak torque and MUAP of VL.

We found no age effect on peak external moment arms due to ground reaction forces. However, older adults exhibited smaller peak ankle moments, larger ranges of frontal plane whole-body angular momentum, larger anterior-posterior margin of stability, and larger perturbation-induced changes in whole-body angular momentum than younger adults. We also report the first evidence that better foot-ankle leverage during habitual walking correlated with larger margins of stability and smaller ranges of whole-body angular momentum.

Forty-two healthy participants (40.0 [12.7] y; 16 males) walked on a treadmill in a virtual environment in 3 conditions: speed matching overground speed from the 10-m walk test, self-paced walking, and speed selected by the participant.

Results showed significant differences in walking speed, step length, stride length, step time, stride time, stance time, cadence, peak extension angle of the hip, and peak plantar flexion angle of the ankle between the self-paced condition and matched overground speed (P < .05). These differences in gait parameters were likely due to variations in speed between the 2 conditions.
