Joint stiffness of the ankle and the knee in running.
The spring-mass model is a valid fundament to understand global dynamics of fast legged locomotion under gravity. The underlying concept of elasticity, implying leg stiffness as a crucial parameter, is also found on lower motor control levels, i.e. in muscle-reflex and muscle-tendon systems. Therefore, it seems reasonable that global leg stiffness emerges from local elasticity established by ap...
متن کاملVariable Stiffness Shoe Alters Muscle Activations and Knee Joint Moments
Medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA) is nearly 10 times more common than lateral compartment OA [1] and develops in approximately 20-40 % of adults over the age of 60 [2]. A high maximum knee adduction moment in walking has been associated with OA rate of progression, treatment outcome, and disease severity. The use of a shoe intervention with a more rigid lateral compared to medial mids...
متن کاملAssociations between frontal plane joint stiffness and proprioceptive acuity in knee osteoarthritis.
OBJECTIVE It has been proposed that proprioceptive impairments observed in knee osteoarthritis (OA) may be associated with disease-related changes in joint mechanics. The aim of this study was to quantify joint proprioception and stiffness in the frontal plane of the knee in persons with and without knee OA and to report the associations between these 2 metrics. METHODS Participants were 13 p...
متن کاملQuantitative study of stiffness in the knee joint.
Data from a knee arthrograph, which imparts a passive sinusoidal motion to the joint and measures the resistive torque and displacement, have been shown to be reproducible. Tests carried out on joints (from 49 males, 21 females) showed that the energy loss per cycle of the joint increased with age for both sexes but the peak to peak torque (elastic stiffness) did not vary with age. Muscle bulk ...
متن کاملThe Impact of Self-Acupressure on the Pain, Joint Stiffness and Physical Functioning of Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis
Background: People with knee osteoarthritis have a low quality of life due to joint pain and stiffness that severely limits their daily activities. This study aims to investigate the impact of self-acupressure on the pain, joint stiffness and physical functioning of patients with osteoarthritis. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 78 patients aged 50 to 70 years with knee...
