BACKGROUND A Sit to Stand task following a hip fracture may be achieved through compensations (e.g. bilateral arms and uninvolved lower extremity), not restoration of movement strategies of the involved lower extremity. The primary purpose was to compare upper and lower extremity movement strategies using the vertical ground reaction force during a Sit to Stand task in participants recovering f...

CONTEXT A smaller amount of ankle-dorsiflexion displacement during landing is associated with less knee-flexion displacement and greater ground reaction forces, and greater ground reaction forces are associated with greater knee-valgus displacement. Additionally, restricted dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) is associated with greater knee-valgus displacement during landing and squatting tasks....

The piaffe is an artificial, diagonally coordinated movement performed in the highest levels of dressage competition. ground reaction forces (GRFs) horses performing do not appear to have been reported. Therefore, objective this study was describe three-dimensional GRFs ridden piaffe. In-ground force plates were used capture fore and hindlimb GRF data from seven well-trained horses. Peak vertic...
