This study aims to identify kinematic differences between children with Ponseti treated clubfoot and age-mat- ched healthy controls during gait, using the Oxford Foot Model. This pilot is part of a large project comparing gait kinematics between children with Ponseti treated clubfoot with and without …

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review was to assess whether LBP patients demonstrate signs of splinting by evaluating the reactions to unexpected mechanical perturbations in terms of (1) trunk muscle activity, (2) kinetic and (3) kinematic trunk responses and (4) estimated mechanical properties …

The aim of this study was to explore the feasibility of the Mastication Observation and Evaluation (MOE) instrument, dynamic ultrasound and 3D kinematic measurements to describe mastication in children with spastic cerebral palsy and typically developing children. Masticatory movements during five trials …

Objective: To determine (1) if Medial Thrust or Trunk Lean reduces the knee adduction moment (EKAM) the most during gait in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis, (2) if the best overall strategy is the most effective for each patient and (3) if these strategies affect ankle and hip kinetics. Design: …

The aim of this study was to determine the measurement reproducibility for a procedure evaluating the mastication process and to estimate the smallest detectable differences of 3D kinematic and surface electromyography (sEMG) variables. Kinematics of mandible movements and sEMG activity of the masticatory …

The performance of human-robot collaboration tasks can be improved by incorporating predictions of the human collaborator's movement intentions. These predictions allow a collaborative robot to both provide appropriate assistance and plan its own motion so it does not interfere with the human. In the …

Being able to perform a press handstand is required to progress to more difficult techniques on almost every apparatus. Therefore it is recommended to learn this skill at an early age. The press handstand requires a combination of high strength, flexibility and motor skills all of which are valued abilities. …

UNLABELLED: Reaching movements are initiated by activity of the prime mover, i.e. the first activated arm muscle. We aimed to investigate the relationship between prime mover activity and kinematics of reaching in typically developing (TD) infants in supine and sitting position. Fourteen infants were …
