The purpose of this investigation was to determine the differences in joint moment and power patterns during walking with and without a functional knee brace and when the brace was deliberately misaligned with the knee axis of rotation. Five participants were asked to walk over a force platform with and without the brace as well as during a condition where the axis of rotation of the brace had ...

The influence of composite girders on the modified buckling factor for columns was investigated in both braced and unbraced frames. girders' end conditions were represented as rigid hinged . Furthermore, based proposed stiffness parameter, derived formulation follows same assumptions standard effective length (K-factor). Moreover, suggested equations frames obtained using slope-deflection metho...

The aim was to investigate the effects of three anatomical frames using palpable anatomical landmarks of the knee on the net knee joint moments. The femoral epicondyles, femoral condyles, and tibial ridges were used to define the different anatomical frames and the segment end points of the distal femur and proximal tibia, which represent the origin of the tibial coordinate system. Gait data we...
