Effect of external loading on in vitro measured muscle induced calcanear and talar motion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Several foot deformities (e.g. pes planus, pes cavus) result from muscular force imbalance across the joints of the ankle and foot. The use of in vitro measurements is required to explore the causal relation between muscle forces, individual foot bone movement and resulting foot deformities. This study quantified the effect of muscle action of the pretibial muscle groups, Mm. peronei as well as the Gastro-soleus on the three dimensional rotation of calcaneus and talus using in vitro measurements with a gait simulator consisting of pneumatic actuators. Furthermore, we tested the effect of altered load bearing conditions of the foot on the observed relations.

متن کاملThe effect of focus of attention on electromyography activity of the rectus abdominus muscle in vertical jump
Various studies have shown that the external focus of attention is better than the internal focus of attention. But, so far no study has been investigated the level of electrical activity of the rectus abdominus muscle as a trunk stabilizer muscle. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of focus of attention on electromyography activity of the rectus abdominus muscle...
متن کاملEffect of Abutment Connection Type and Cyclic Loading on Removal Torque Value
Background and Aim: Maintaining the primary torque of the abutment screw is a common problem related to implant-supported restorations; a failure in this respect often leads to screw loosening. The abutment screw plays a critical role in the long-term stability of restorations. This study aimed to assess the effect of two abutment connection types with and without cyclic loading on removal torq...
متن کاملEffect of GapSeal® as a Sealing Material on Microgap and Microleakage at External Hexagon Implant Connections Following Cyclic Loading: An In Vitro Study
Background and Aim: The mismatch of the implant-abutment connection can produce instant stress and microleakage which result in mechanical and biological complications. This study aimed to investigate the influence of GapSeal® as a sealing material on the extent of microgap and microleakage at the external hexagon implant platform following cyclic loading. Materials and Methods: Sixteen implan...
