Book Influence of Direction on Stepping Parameters and Postural Stability in Individuals with Chronic Ankle Instability

Download or read book Influence of Direction on Stepping Parameters and Postural Stability in Individuals with Chronic Ankle Instability written by Jennifer Tolson and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: Lateral ankle sprains are a common athletic injury accounting for 25-50% of injuries in sports that include running and jumping. Individuals who suffer from a lateral ankle sprain may develop residual symptoms of chronic ankle instability (CAI). CAI research has examined static and dynamic to static movements and unidirectional tasks; however, static to dynamic transitional movements remains largely unexplored in this population. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate dynamic postural stability during directional gait initiation in healthy young athletes (HYA) and athletes with CAI. There were no significant differences between the two groups for forward and directional gait initiation for center of pressure-center of mass separation at heel strike minus one, posterior and lateral displacement of the center of pressure during S1, step length, step velocity, and posterior and lateral velocity of the center of pressure during S1, We concluded that gait initiation at a 90° step angle may not be a challenging enough task to alter dynamic postural stability in those with CAI.

Book The Science of Footwear

Download or read book The Science of Footwear written by Ravindra S. Goonetilleke and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 729 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although we now have sophisticated algorithms and techniques for determining the shapes and sizes and for matching the fit between shoes and feet, few, if any, of the books currently available cover these new technologies until now. Bringing together high-quality and state-of-the-art contributions from designers, biomechanists, ergonomists, engineers, podiatrists, and scientists from industry and academia, The Science of Footwear provides an in-depth understanding of the technology and techniques involved in the design and development of a popular and demanding consumer product. This book introduces the design, development, manufacturing, and marketing of footwear. The chapters contain data from past research and the state-of-the art methodologies. They not only cover every aspect of the product design, but also how the footwear industry caters to the wide-ranging needs of sophisticated and demanding customers. The footwear industry has rapidly changed over the last 10 years. Mass production has changed to personalization and mass customization, areas that are not well-understood. This book explores these different concepts in a coherent way, drawing on differing views that give a holistic view of the science behind footwear. Collating information from different disciplines, the book provides the tools to develop the next generation of footwear.

Book Balance Dysfunction in Parkinson s Disease

Download or read book Balance Dysfunction in Parkinson s Disease written by Martina Mancini and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2019-09-14 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Balance Dysfunction in Parkinson’s Disease: Basic Mechanisms to Clinical Management presents the most updated information on a variety of topics. Sections help clinicians evaluate the types of balance control issues, dynamic balance dysfunction during turning, and the effects of medication, deep brain stimulation, and rehabilitation intervention on balance control. This book is the first to review the four main postural control systems and how they are affected, including balance during quiet stance, reactive postural adjustments to external perturbations, anticipatory postural adjustments in preparation for voluntary movements, and dynamic balance control during walking and turning. In addition, the book's authors summarize the effects of levodopa, deep brain stimulation, and rehabilitation intervention for each balance domain. This book is recommended for anyone interested in how and why balance control is affected by PD. Provides the first comprehensive review of research to date on balance dysfunctions in Parkinson's disease Discusses how to translate current neuroscience research into practice regarding neural control of balance Provides evidence on the effects of current interventions on balance control
