[Purpose] The correlations of peak vertical ground reaction force and sagittal angles during single-leg lateral jump-landing with noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injury remain unknown. This study aimed to clarify the correlations between kinematics and impact force during lateral jump-landing. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty active males were included in the analysis. A sagittal-view movie ...

abstract for seismic design, it is important to estimate the, maximum lateral displacement (inelastic displacement) of the structures due to earthquakes for several reasons. seismic design provisions estimate the maximum roof and storey drifts occurring in major earthquakes by amplifying the roof displacement and drifts of the structures obtained by elastic analysis subjected to seismic design ...

in this paper, a new kind of gripper is designed. this universal gripper is proposed where different objects should be gripped easily, reliably within rapid succession without any feedback. by adding an annular balloon around the granular bag, a lateral force pushes the main membrane and increases the friction force between the bag and the load. according to the acquired test results reported i...
