Background: Trunk muscles play an important role in providing both mobility and stability during dynamic tasks in athletes.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the within-day and between-day reliability of ultrasound (US) in measuringabdominal and lumbar multifidus muscle (MF) thickness in athletes with and without hamstring strain injury (HSI).Methods: Fifteen male socce...

We test whether locomotor posture is associated with body mass and lower limb length in humans and explore how body size and posture affect net joint moments during walking. We acquired gait data for 24 females and 25 males using a three-dimensional motion capture system and pressure-measuring insoles. We employed the general linear model and commonality analysis to assess the independent effec...

Limb length discrepancy or anisomelia has long been objectified with imaging.The biomechanical implications for patients with a developing skeleton are more relevant than the cosmetic aspects, both in treatment and in follow-up. The aim of this publication is to review the most common causes of lower limb asymmetry in children, with emphasis on imaging findings, which are of great importance fo...

Humans demonstrate species-wide bilateral asymmetry in long bone dimensions. Previous studies have documented greater right-biases in upper limb bone dimensions--especially in length and diaphyseal breadth--as well as more asymmetry in the upper limb when compared with the lower limb. Some studies have reported left-bias in lower limb bone dimensions, which, combined with the contralateral asym...

INTRODUCTION Proper imaging with radiographs plays an important role in preoperative planning and also assessing postoperative radiographic results. One of the major aims of any kind of lower limb corrective surgery such as corrective osteotomy or total knee arthroplasty, is restoration of the mechanical axis of the limb [1]. To achieve this, one needs to be able to assess the existing axis, pl...

Lower-limb exoskeletons have attracted considerable interest because they can provide impaired individuals with the ability to walk upright. Trajectory generation of walking gait is a crucial issue for lower-limb that has not yet been satisfactorily solved. The purpose this article study stable method considering subjective intention. Inspired by motion synergy between crutches and lower limbs,...

The development of rehabilitation training program for lower limb injury does not usually include gait pattern design. This paper introduced a gait pattern design by using equations (conditions of walking). Following the requirements of reducing force to the injured side to avoid further injury, we developed a lower limb gait pattern to shorten the stride length so as to reduce walking speed, t...
