Biomechanics of Upper Limb Orthoses
INTRODUCTION Functional impairment of [parts of] the upper limb has many different expressions. Sound biomechanical analysis is at the basis of the management of the physical challenges involved. An outline of the basics of a mechanical systems approach is presented below. Orthoses are among the many treatment options for upper limb impairments. An orthosis can be defined as a mechanical constr...

متن کاملUpper Limb Biomechanics During the Volleyball Serve and Spike
BACKGROUND The shoulder is the third-most commonly injured body part in volleyball, with the majority of shoulder problems resulting from chronic overuse. HYPOTHESIS Significant kinetic differences exist among specific types of volleyball serves and spikes. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Fourteen healthy female collegiate volleyball players performed 5 successful trials...
متن کاملThe biomechanics of wheelchair propulsion in individuals with and without upper-limb impairment.
We used an instrumented wheelchair ergometer and 3D motion analysis system to collect joint kinematic and temporal data, as well as hand rim and joint kinetics, in 47 manual wheelchair users (MWCUs) (15 with upper-limb impairment and 32 without upper-limb impairment). The group with upper-limb impairment propelled with a higher stroke frequency and reduced hand-rim contact time, and smaller pea...
متن کاملComparing strength and range of motion of the upper limb with AV fistula access with the contralateral upper limb among patients treated with hemodialysis
Introduction: The arteriovenous (AV) fistula is a gold standard method for safe and effective repeated vascular access for patients on hemodialysis (HD). The patients, with AV-fistula access in their upper limb, have some limitations in using the involved limb both in daily living and during the dialysis process. The aim of this study was to compare range of motion (ROM), muscle strength and...
