Objective. There are no reports comparing the protocols provided by rigid marker set (RMS) and point cluster technique (PCT), which are similar in terms of estimating anatomical landmarks based on markers attached to a segment. The purpose of this study was to clarify the correlation of the two different protocols, which are protocols for knee motion in gait, and identify whether measurement er...

The centre of pressure (COP) movement during stance maintenance on a stable surface is commonly used to describe and evaluate static balance. The aim of our study was to test sensitivity of individual COP parameters to different stance positions which were used to address size specific changes in the support surface. Twenty-nine subjects participated in the study. They carried out three 60-seco...

In healthy subjects, electromyography (EMG) reveals that well-coordinated walking can be produced by exciting four co-activation modules: Module 1 (hip and knee extensors) in early stance, Module 2 (ankle plantarflexors) in late stance, Module 3 (tibialis anterior and rectus femoris) during swing, and Module 4 (hamstrings) in late swing and early stance [1]. These modules, comprised of timing a...

Despite the existing extensive research on stance markers such as hedges, boosters, and self-mention in academic writing, few studies, however, examined co-occurrence of these to help authors project their identities writing. In this study, we examine how with boosters hedges are used by writers different groups manifest authorial presence what functions they realize Two self-compiled corpora w...

Using corpus linguistic techniques, this exploratory study is intended to provide a descriptive in-sight into frequent lexical bundles, keywords and key terms as well selected markers of style used in professional film reviews. The research material includes 210 domain-specific texts from the years 2020-2021, extracted websites six British newspapers, magazines institutions offering guides for ...

Walking is a motor task requiring coordination of many muscles. Previous biomechanical studies, based primarily on analyses of the net ankle moment during stance, have concluded different functional roles for the plantar flexors. We hypothesize that some of the disparities in interpretation arise because of the effects of the uniarticular and biarticular muscles that comprise the plantar flexor...

BACKGROUND Excessive hip flexion in gait is thought to be associated with hip flexion contracture, but has also been associated with excessive anterior pelvic tilt, knee flexion, internal hip rotation, and muscular factors. The purpose of this study was to examine the contributors to excessive hip flexion during gait in children with cerebral palsy, with and without hip flexion contractures. ...
