The Effects of Load Carriage and Fatigue on Frontal-plane Knee Mechanics during Walking
نویسنده
چکیده
Military personnel are commonly afflicted by lower extremity overuse injuries [1, 2]. Overuse knee conditions are among the most common injuries during basic training [3]. Walking with heavy loads is an inevitable part of the military training, and during the twelve-weeks of basic training, the loaded running and walking distance could exceed 200 miles [1]. Therefore, military personnel have to face physical challenges comprised of load carriage and muscle fatigue.

متن کاملEffects of Extreme-Duration Heavy Load Carriage on Neuromuscular Function and Locomotion: A Military-Based Study
UNLABELLED Trekking and military missions generally consist of carrying heavy loads for extreme durations. These factors have been separately shown to be sources of neuromuscular (NM) fatigue and locomotor alterations. However, the question of their combined effects remains unresolved, and addressing this issue required a representative context. PURPOSE The aim was to investigate the effects ...
