Biomechanical analysis of dancer’s hip joint during extreme motions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Overload on the hip joint is considered by medical experts as principal cause of hip joint osteoarthritis (OA) which is characterized by the degeneration of the articular cartilages. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between extreme movements and the development of early OA. Thus, the mechanical behavior of dancer’s hip joint under movements characterized by large anatomical angles of the leg is analyzed. Dynamics simulation based on patientspecific model is used to assess the stress during these postures. The simulation results show a correlation between movements and stress depending on the applied load.

Biomechanical analysis of the hip joint during extreme movements
Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common forms of musculoskeletal disorders. Different studies have shown that hip OA is a multi-factor disease. Malnutrition, genetics, obesity and infections were identified as marginal factors and the abnormal hip morphology as the most common reasons. Nevertheless, hip OA is considered idiopathic and needs, hence, to be further investigated. The aim ...
متن کاملAccurate Simulation of Hip Joint Range of Motion
This paper presents a hip joint motion simulation method using accurate hip joint center and hip range of motion. We calculate the extreme hip joint range of motion centered on the hip joint center (HJC) that is located by an automatic calculation algorithm on 3D reconstructed surface models. We make 3D bone surface models from CT (Computer Tomography) or MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). The m...
متن کاملWeightlifting performance is related to kinematic and kinetic patterns of the hip and knee joints.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlations between biomechanical outcome measures and weightlifting performance. Joint kinematics and kinetics of the hip, knee, and ankle were calculated while 10 subjects performed a clean at 85% of 1 repetition maximum (1RM). Kinematic and kinetic time-series patterns were extracted with principal components analysis. Discrete scores for eac...
متن کاملThe main biomechanical risk factors for the prevalence of the left hip joint traumatic and degenerative changes.
The aim of this paper is to examine characteristic biomechanical features leading to the acetabular fracture and hip joint arthrosis, and to explain the prevalence of the left side traumatic and degenerative pelvic pathology that is usually seen in diverse groups of patients. A total of 253 patients were analyzed in a retrospective case-control study during a six-year period. The patients were ...
متن کاملThe comparison of spinal curves and hip and ankle range of motions between old and young persons
Background :Falls have been strongly associated with decreased physical activity and impaired mobility. Reduced range of motion, as a consequence of muscle stiffness, has been indicated to assume a positive relationship to fall incidence. Also clinical observations suggest that maintaining the normal spinal curves is associated with the prevention of spinal, knee and hip disorders. Thus, the ...
