Filter by:This research is being performed to characterize the rowing stroke in active and inactive individuals who use a manual wheelchair. The investigators will be looking at muscle activity of four shoulder muscles (upper trapezius, lower trapezius, serratus anterior, and posterior deltoid) and motion of the arms, shoulder blade, and trunk during rowing. This will be done for three rowing conditions (1: adapted rowing ergometer, 2: rowing ergometer from a chair, 3: standard seated row exercise using an elastic band [TheraBand]). The investigators are also looking at shoulder strength, range of motion, quality of life, and community participation.
In running 70% of the lower limb, injuries are produced in the running segment. The vast majority of sports-related musculoskeletal injuries in young athletes are caused by overuse. Previous research has shown a clear association between running-related injuries and kinematic patterns, showing the existence of a causal relationship between biomechanical alterations and injures. According to the evidence, that real-time visual and auditory feedback based on gait retraining should be considered to treat injured runners or prevent injuries. However, no previous studies have been carried out on whether gait retraining decreases running-related injuries incidence in young triathletes. The investigators propose a study to determine the effect of gait retraining on the decrease in the number of running-related injuries and improve the running efficiency in young triathletes.
A professional flamenco dancer will perform a ZAP 3 test, a sequence of single strikes of the feet performed continuously for 15 sec. Kinetic and kinematic studies will be recorded during the performance.
This study perform to investigate the immediate effects of kinesiotaping and plasebo kinesiotaping on Dart Throwing Motion (DTM) angle and functional performance scores of wrist in healthy subjects.
The measurement of cervical spine range of motion (ROM) figures among the most common aspects of clinical diagnosis. Good reliability has been demonstrated for assessments using ultrasonic movement analysis systems, such as Zebris CMS 70 (Isny, Germany). However, in contrast to combined measurements of movement amplitudes (e.g., flexion plus extension in the sagittal plane), separating the respective components provides less reliable results. Current research suggest that this is due to the participants' determination of the zero position. This position is influenced by possible disposed treatments and, in particular, by the subject in case of subjective determination. The present study therefore aims to examine the test-retest reliability of separate ROM assessments using a bulls eye spirit meter. Twenty healthy participants will be included in the trial that adopts a two-armed randomized, crossover design. With a washout-period of one week in between, each subject participates in two sessions in a randomised order. In both sessions, cervical ROM (flexion/extension, rotation, lateral flexion) will be measured twice (with a five-minute wait period). In all measurements, the zero position will be determined by means of a bulls eye spirit level. The difference of the two sessions consists in the design of the waiting period. In one session, the subjects will keep the mask carrying the ultrasound markers on their head. In the other session, the mask will be removed during the break.
