Book excerpt: Background: The interrelationships between individual anthropometric variability, running mechanics, comfort, and injury are complicated and present a challenge to footwear designers as they try to provide safe, comfortable, efficient shoes within a limited product line. In previous research there has been relatively limited success in linking variations in lower limb anatomy or musculoskeletal function to movements or kinetics associated with injury. The present study was designed to include a more complete set of structural and functional measurements of the lower extremity than has previously been done. Specifically, this study investigated how lower extremity structure and function interact with two shoe types (Motion Control (MC) vs. Cushioning (CU)) to affect movement dynamics during running. This study aims to create a more specific categorization of the influence of footwear structure on kinetic and kinematic variables of running based on runner characteristics, including both anthropometric features and movement factors. Methods: 16 recreational runners (>̲10 miles per week) were recruited to participate in this study. 3-D kinematics and kinetics were collected as subjects ran at 3.58 m*s−1+̲ 5% along a 20m runway. Trials were performed in both MC and CU shoes. A number of anthropometric measures were collected during a separate session. The effect of shoe type on kinetic and kinematic variables was examined using a paired t-test. In addition, relationships were identified between lower limb anthropometric variables and shoe type differences using Pearson correlations. Results: CU and MC shoes demonstrated significant differences for ankle inversion moment, ground reaction force, and sagittal plane kinematic timing variables. Weight, Quadriceps angle, and ankle structure and range of motion (ROM) influenced differences between running mechanics in the two shoe types. No significant interactions between shoe type and arch group were found. Conclusions: Compared to the MC shoe, the CU shoe showed reductions in key force magnitudes and reduced the rate at which forces were applied. The stability features in the MC shoe were evident in ankle inversion moment maximum, positive impulse, and net impulse. An MC shoe may provide people that have larger Q-angles more support, while a CU shoe may be more beneficial for a heavier runner. Runners with an inverted subtalar joint neutral position (STJN) may be better suited for a CU shoe, while runners with an everted STJN might be better served with an MC shoe. In both of these cases the shoe attenuated forces that may be potentially harmful to the runner. Kinetic and kinematic differences among arch groups did exist, but were unaffected by shoe type. This study allowed us to reach a better understanding of the interplay among structural and functional parameters, shoe type, and lower extremity kinetic and kinematic responses. Future research should include a more diverse pool of subjects and focus on fatigue's role in cushioning.

Download or read book Regulation of Tissue Oxygenation Second Edition written by Roland N. Pittman and published by Biota Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-18 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This presentation describes various aspects of the regulation of tissue oxygenation, including the roles of the circulatory system, respiratory system, and blood, the carrier of oxygen within these components of the cardiorespiratory system. The respiratory system takes oxygen from the atmosphere and transports it by diffusion from the air in the alveoli to the blood flowing through the pulmonary capillaries. The cardiovascular system then moves the oxygenated blood from the heart to the microcirculation of the various organs by convection, where oxygen is released from hemoglobin in the red blood cells and moves to the parenchymal cells of each tissue by diffusion. Oxygen that has diffused into cells is then utilized in the mitochondria to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of all cells. The mitochondria are able to produce ATP until the oxygen tension or PO2 on the cell surface falls to a critical level of about 4–5 mm Hg. Thus, in order to meet the energetic needs of cells, it is important to maintain a continuous supply of oxygen to the mitochondria at or above the critical PO2 . In order to accomplish this desired outcome, the cardiorespiratory system, including the blood, must be capable of regulation to ensure survival of all tissues under a wide range of circumstances. The purpose of this presentation is to provide basic information about the operation and regulation of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, as well as the properties of the blood and parenchymal cells, so that a fundamental understanding of the regulation of tissue oxygenation is achieved.

Download or read book Biomechanics of Lower Limb Prosthetics written by Mark R. Pitkin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-10-14 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreword from a Clinical Biomechanist, Applied Physiologist and Prosthetist teaching graduate students in Prosthetics & Orthotics. While there are many books on Biomechanics, arguably the quintessential science of limb prosthetics, none addresses the fundamental principles in sufficient detail and depth to be practically useful to the prosthetist, rehabilitation specialist or researcher. Dr. Pitkin’s monograph is an exemplary collection of theoretical principles from his research and o- ers, presented in its clinical and applied biomechanics form. The textbook provides an excellent overview of the many facets of lower limb prosthetic design and engineering for the ardent clinician researcher and student. The book delves into many of the basic concepts that are required knowledge for the clinician and the scientist to have as the foundation for their work. Dr. Pitkin has an e- quent manner in which he reflects on the history and literature to tell the storied evolution of prosthetic design . He takes the reader on a journey to consider his theories, which have substantive foundations to contemplate. By the end of chapter one, we have the basic h- tory and an appreciation for the rationale behind the “rolling joint ankle” with evidence to support his theoretical views.
