Ground reaction forces during locomotion in simulated microgravity.
BACKGROUND Significant losses in bone density and mineral, primarily in the lower extremities, have been reported following exposure to weightlessness. Recent investigations suggest that mechanical influences such as bone deformation and strain rate may be critically important in stimulating new bone formation. HYPOTHESIS It was hypothesized that velocity, cadence, and harness design would si...
متن کاملThe effect of increasing inertia upon vertical ground reaction forces and temporal kinematics during locomotion.
The addition of inertia to exercising astronauts could increase ground reaction forces and potentially provide a greater health benefit. However, conflicting results have been reported regarding the adaptations to additional mass (inertia) without additional net weight (gravitational force) during locomotion. We examined the effect of increasing inertia while maintaining net gravitational force...

Claes for being my supervisor. As a member of the bone research group, I am also thankful to the head of this group Privatdozent Peter Augat for supporting me. Special thanks go to Professor John Rasmussen from the AnyBody group, University of Aalborg, Denmark. It is a great honor to me that he agreed to examine this thesis. I would also like to thank his colleague Professor Michael Damsgaard f...
متن کاملThe mechanism of locomotion in snakes.
Among snakes four main types of terrestrial progression have been described: (i) serpentine movement which is observable in all, or nearly all, genera; (ii) concertina movement as briefly described by Wiedemann (1932) in Viper a and Coronella; (iii) crotaline or 'side-winding' as seen in Crotalus or Cerastes (Mosauer, 19320,6); and (iv) rectilinear movement as exhibited by boas and other large ...
متن کاملCoordination of medial gastrocnemius and soleus forces during cat locomotion.
We studied force-sharing behavior between the cat medial gastrocnemius (MG) and soleus (SOL) muscles by direct measurement of the muscle forces and electromyographic activities (EMGs), muscle lengths, speeds of contraction, joint kinematics and kinetics, for a variety of locomotor conditions. Previous studies suggested that the modulation of MG force and activation is associated with movement d...
