The inverse dynamics approach is commonly adopted in a human gait analysis. Displacements of the human body segments and ground reaction forces are known from measurements. The joint reaction forces and muscle net torques (which cannot be measured directly) are calculated. Since the ground reaction forces are known it is not necessary to model the foot-ground contact. The inverse dynamics appro...

The addition of inertia to exercising astronauts could increase ground reaction forces and potentially provide a greater health benefit. However, conflicting results have been reported regarding the adaptations to additional mass (inertia) without additional net weight (gravitational force) during locomotion. We examined the effect of increasing inertia while maintaining net gravitational force...

Abstract In earlier days, the only way to resist lateral loads was increase strength of structure obtained by making larger cross sections and massive buildings. Structural control is one solutions important topics in both points view security comfort recent years. To reduce effect seismic energy, structural forms used outrigger. years, supplementary devices are installed into outrigger so that...

The piaffe is an artificial, diagonally coordinated movement performed in the highest levels of dressage competition. ground reaction forces (GRFs) horses performing do not appear to have been reported. Therefore, objective this study was describe three-dimensional GRFs ridden piaffe. In-ground force plates were used capture fore and hindlimb GRF data from seven well-trained horses. Peak vertic...
