PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION DURING MARCH, 1915

Francis Gerald William Knowles, 9 March 1915--13 Jul 1974.

Palmar pressure distribution during push-up exercise.

INTRODUCTION Doing repetitive push-ups is among the most common exercise for the upper body and shoulder stabiliser muscle strength training. However, adverse effects such as neck pain, back pain, palmar pain and wrist pain have been reported. To date, to our knowledge, palmar pressure when performing push-ups has not been previously reported. We hypothesised that various hand positions during ...

Analysis of pressure distribution and optimization of working conditions during push bending of circular tubes

Thin-walled tube bending is still to be considered a new and advanced technique. The process has been adopted into several industries such as aero and automotive. This process may produce a wrinkling, bulking and tearing phenomenon if the process parameters are inappropriate, especially for tubes with large diameter and thin wall thickness. Push bending process is one of the methods used for be...

Comparison of selected parameters of plantar pressure distribution during slope walking in adolescent girls

Background and Aims: Moving on inclined surfaces is a challenging task in daily life that creates challenges for the human movement system. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to compare selected parameters of plantar pressure distribution in healthy teenage girls and those with genu varum deformity while walking on a slope. Materials and Methods: The current research was semi-experime...

Tone Distribution and Its Effect on Subglottal Pressure during Speech

The current work is part of a project to characterize the subglottal pressure (Ps) contour associated with a spoken utterance in terms of the distribution of pitch accents and of phrase and boundary tones. It is found that the nuclear pitch accent does not define the start of the termination phase; the utterance offset is a better marker. Declination rate of the working phase and its relation t...
