Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His study investigated the lower limb biomechanics during downhill and uphill running in habitual forefoot strike and habitual rearfoot strike runners. Fifteen habitual forefoot strike and fifteen habitual rearfoot strike recreational male runners ran at 3 m/s ± 5% during level, uphill and downhill overground running on a ramp mounted at 6° and 9°. Results showed that hill running had similar impacts on joint angles in rearfoot strike and forefoot strike runners, causing a decrease in hip flexion at initial contact during downhill running, an increase in knee flexion angle at initial contact during uphill running and a decrease in peak hip flexion angle. In addition to differences in ankle joint angle due to landing pattern difference between rearfoot strike and forefoot strike runners, forefoot strike runners had a more flexed hip angle during downhill running. Forefoot strike runners had an absent impact peak in all running conditions, while the impact peaks only decreased during the uphill conditions in rearfoot strike runners. Active peaks decreased during the downhill conditions in forefoot strike runners while active loading rates increased during downhill conditions in rearfoot strike runners. Compared to the level condition, parallel braking peaks were larger during downhill conditions and parallel propulsive peaks were larger during uphill conditions. Peak hip flexion moment was significantly greater while peak knee flexion moment was significantly lower in both groups during the downhill 9° condition. Forefoot strike runners had larger peak plantar flexion moments and peak ankle power absorption compared to rearfoot strike runners during all conditions. Forefoot strike runners had decreased peak power absorption at the knee joint during downhill and level running conditions. Combined with previous biomechanics studies, our findings of no impact peak in forefoot strike runners suggests that this landing pattern may have potential in reducing overuse running injuries. Forefoot strike running reduces loading at the knee joint and can be used as an effective strategy to reduce stress at the knee joint experienced with rearfoot strike running.

Book excerpt: With its focus on the normal and abnormal mechanical interactions between the muscles and joints of the body, Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System: Foundations for Rehabilitation, 3rd Edition provides a foundation for the practice of physical rehabilitation. This comprehensive, research-based core text presents kinesiology as it relates to physical rehabilitation in a clinically relevant and accessible manner. It provides students and clinicians with the language of human movement — and acts as a bridge between basic science and clinical management. Full-color anatomic and kinesiologic illustrations clearly demonstrate the anatomy, functional movement, and biomechanical principles underlying movement; and dynamic new video clips help you interpret new concepts with visual demonstration. More than 900 high-quality illustrations provide you with the visual accompaniments you need to comprehend the material. Clinical Connections boxes at the end of each chapter in Sections II through IV highlight or expand upon a particular clinical concept associated with the kinesiology covered in the chapter. Special Focus boxes interspersed throughout the text provide numerous clinical examples that demonstrate why kinesiologic information is needed. Critical thinking questions challenge you to review or reinforce the main concepts contained within each chapter. Evidence-based approach emphasizes the importance of research in physical therapy decision-making.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toe walking is often considered an undesirable gait deviation seen in pathological populations. The heterogeneous nature within and between these populations make it difficult to understand the biomechanics of pathological toe walking. Thus, previous studies have often analyzed healthy individuals performing non-habitual toe walking in hopes to understand this gait abnormality. Studies have found biomechanical deviations in kinematics, muscle activity levels, and kinetics between heel-toe and toe walking. However, these findings have focused primarily on sagittal plane discrete metrics of more proximal joints. Because toe walking involves increased activity of the distal foot, and these joints are often thought to have multi-planar tendencies, we believe further investigation is needed. The purpose of this study was to examine biomechanical differences in rearfoot strike walking (RFSW) and non-rearfoot strike walking (NRFSW). We hypothesized that previously seen increased ankle plantarflexion would be accompanied by increased ankle inversion and adduction, commonly referred to as supination, during NRFSW, and the MT joint would supinate with the ankle because of their parallel axes. Twenty-four healthy females walked overground with both walking patterns. Motion capture, electromyography (EMG), and force plate data were collected. A validated multi-segment foot model was used along with mean difference waveform analyses to study differences in the walking conditions during stance. Most differences occurred in early stance. NRFSW exhibited increased ankle supination at IC compared to RFSW, indicating ankle supination is needed for forefoot contact. Increased supination creates increased pronation excursion and pronation is a mechanism for shock absorption. This advantageous phenomenon was apparent in NRFSW as the loading rate was reduced despite a larger peak vertical ground reaction force and would not have been found if waveform analyses were not performed. The MT joint only exhibited increased plantarflexion similar to the ankle but this suggests both ankle and MT joints must plantarflex to land and remain in a toe walking posture. This finding emphasized the important of multi-planar, distal joint, and waveform analyses during gait, especially in relation to pathological toe walking populations.
