Background The application of ankle braces is an effective method for the prevention of recurrent ankle sprains. It has been proposed that the reduction of injury rates is based on the mechanical stiffness of the brace and on beneficial effects on proprioception and neuromuscular activation. Yet, how the neuromuscular system responds to the applica...

Altered knee muscle activity in children with asymptomatic Generalized Joint Hypermobility (GJH) is reported during isometric contraction, static and dynamic balance tasks and jumping, but has not been studied during gait. Therefore, the aim was to investigate group differences in knee muscle activity simultaneously with knee joint kinematics durin...

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a flexion spacer in the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and to compare these patients to a group of patients subjected to the same type of surgery but without the use of a flexion spacer. It was hypothesized that patients who und...

Background: Anterior load carriage is a one of the commonly performed activities in some industries. Stair climbing while carrying anterior load significantly alters different biomechanical mechanisms that can potentially affect the musculoskeletal function of the lower extremities. Objective: The study aims to assess the effect of carrying an ante...

Arthroplasty Today
Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common and effective surgical procedure that allows patients with hip osteoarthritis to restore functional ability and relieve pain. Sit-to-stand transfers are common demanding tasks during activities of daily living and are performed more than 50 times per day. The purpose of this systematic review is t...

Study aim: Three-dimensional (3D) motion analysis is one of the available methods used to evaluate body kinematics. The aim of this study was to assess the intrarater reliability of measurement of pelvic and lower limb kinematics during two single leg landing tasks using 3D motion analysis. Material and methods: 19 healthy volunteers (8 women, 11 m...

IntroduktionFrämre korsbandsskador (ACL-skador) leder till nedsatt knäfunktion och är en stor bidragande orsak till att de ACL-skadade slutar med sin idrott. Detta kan delvis förklaras av nya rörelsestrategiser som används för att minska belastning på den skadade knäleden. Få studier har dock undersökt fotisättningens betydelse för rörelsestrategie...

Background To investigate in vivo kinematics of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with the introduction of a mildly constrained (MC) type of polyethylene (PE). We compared the knee kinematics with a reported pattern after surgery using the same component with a conventionally constrained (CC) type of PE. Methods Finite element analysis (FEA) was perfor...

Shoulder assessment in rehabilitation is focused on kinematic properties due to the variability of symptomatology and clinical expression of shoulder injuries. To perform a receiver operating characteristic analysis of the kinematic variables involved in the functional mobility of the shoulder that allow the identification of discriminating variabl...

Gait & posture
Previous research showed that hallux rigidus (HR) affects foot and ankle kinematics during gait. It is unclear if HR affects lower limb kinematics as well. Does HR affect lower limb kinematics, and if so, is gait deviation correlated with patient-reported outcome? This was a retrospective case-control study, including 15 HR patients and 15 healthy ...
