Difference in force direction during propulsion between subjects with different push-off locations
It could be hypothesized that when walking in a linear direction, the most efficient strategy would be to focus the force created by the push-off in the absolute opposite direction to the direction of propulsion. Forces in a medial or lateral direction could then be considered as loss of efficiency since these forces do not create movement in the intended direction. The aim of this study was to...
متن کاملLeg stiffness increases with gait speed to maximize propulsion energy during push - off
Compliant walking models have been used to account for the gait dynamics associated with compliant lower limbs [1, 2], and leg compliance has been quantified as a form of vertical lower limb stiffness [3]. However, the vertical stiffness of the lower limb has been defined by the ratio of the force change to the displacement change based on a formulation of Kvert ≈ ΔF/Δx without considering a fu...
متن کاملThe influence of altering push force effectiveness on upper extremity demand during wheelchair propulsion.
Manual wheelchair propulsion has been linked to a high incidence of overuse injury and pain in the upper extremity, which may be caused by the high load requirements and low mechanical efficiency of the task. Previous studies have suggested that poor mechanical efficiency may be due to a low effective handrim force (i.e. applied force that is not directed tangential to the handrim). As a result...
متن کاملMuscle Activation during Push-Ups with Different Suspension Training Systems.
The purpose of this study was to analyze upper extremity and core muscle activation when performing push-ups with different suspension devices. Young fit male university students (n = 29) performed 3 push-ups each with 4 different suspension systems. Push-up speed was controlled using a metronome and testing order was randomized. Average amplitude of the electromyographic root mean square of Tr...
متن کاملمقایسه درصد فازهای استقرار و نوسان و نیروی واکنش زمین بین جوانان و سالمندان حین راه رفتن با سرعت های مختلف
Objective: comparing the effects of gait at different speeds on spatiotemporal and kinetic parameters can result in better perception of gait pattern differences between young and older adults. Thus the purpose of this study was to compare the percentage of gait stance and swing phases and vertical ground reaction force between young and older adults during walking with different speeds. Metho...
