Vertical stiffness asymmetries during drop jumping are related to ankle stiffness asymmetries.
Asymmetry in vertical stiffness has been associated with increased injury incidence and impaired performance. The determinants of vertical stiffness asymmetry have not been previously investigated. Eighteen healthy men performed three unilateral drop jumps during which vertical stiffness and joint stiffness of the ankle and knee were calculated. Reactive strength index was also determined durin...
متن کاملStanding, walking, running, and jumping on a force plate
Details are given of an inexpensive force plate designed to measure ground reaction forces involved in human movement. Such measurements provide interesting demonstrations of relations between displacement, velocity, and acceleration, and illustrate aspects of mechanics that are not normally encountered in a conventional mechanics course, or that are more commonly associated with inanimate obje...
متن کاملIdentification of the cystic fibrosis gene: chromosome walking and jumping.
An understanding of the basic defect in the inherited disorder cystic fibrosis requires cloning of the cystic fibrosis gene and definition of its protein product. In the absence of direct functional information, chromosomal map position is a guide for locating the gene. Chromosome walking and jumping and complementary DNA hybridization were used to isolate DNA sequences, encompassing more than ...
متن کاملMechanically induced ankle inversion during human walking and jumping.
A new method to study sudden ankle inversions during human walking and jumping is presented. Ankle inversions of 25 degrees were elicited using a box containing a trap door. During the gait task, subjects walked at a speed of 4 km/h. At a pre-programmed delay after left heel strike, an electromagnet released the box on the treadmill. This delay enabled the subject to step on the box without hav...
متن کاملWhirling skirts and rotating cones
Steady, dihedrally symmetric patterns with sharp peaks may be observed on a spinning skirt, lagging behind the material flow of the fabric. These qualitative features are captured with a minimal model of traveling waves on an inextensible, flexible, generalized-conical sheet rotating about a fixed axis. Conservation laws are used to reduce the dynamics to a quadrature describing a particle in a...
