Biomechanics is a scientific discipline that studies the forces acting on body and effects they produce. In this article, we bring together biomechanists networking researchers to shed light how research efforts in biomechanics, primarily related study of human body, can be facilitated through computing technologies, such as edge cloud computing, software defined networking, information-centric...

CONTEXT Noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injury has been reported to occur during the later stages of a game when fatigue is most likely present. Few researchers have focused on progressive changes in lower extremity biomechanics that occur throughout fatiguing. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of a sequential fatigue protocol on lower extremity biomechanics during a sidestep-cutting ta...

Many students in Biomedical Sciences have difficulty understanding biomechanics. In a second-year course, biomechanics is taught in the first week and examined at the end of the fourth week. Knowledge is retained longer if the subject material is repeated. However, how does one encourage students to repeat the subject matter? For this study, we developed 'two opportunities to practice per day (...

25 Background and Purpose: Bilateral pedicle stress fractures are extremely rare, with few 26 cases reported in the literature. The pedicle is known to be the second weakest point of 27 the vertebra, has a short moment arm from the vertebral body, and can resist a large 28 amount of cyclic shear forces. There have been several reports describing pedicle stress 29 fracture in adolescent athletes...

The December issue of the JCCA has been devoted to highlighting the significant advances being made by Sports Chiropractic in Canada. In Canada, Sports Chiropractic is regulated by the College of Chiropractic Sports Sciences (Canada), CCSS(C). Chartered as a Specialty College of the chiropractic profession in 1984, the CCSS(C) is an educational and coordinating organization that acts as the Reg...

The Olympian ideal of going faster, jumping further and leaping higher than the opposition is central to competitive sports. Winning or losing in sport is related to a number of factors, and biomechanics, anthropometrics, and aerodynamics play a major role in many sports. This lecture focuses on ski jumping. Performance in ski jumping is determined not only by the motor abilities of the athlete...

Background Foot morphology has received increasing attention from both biomechanics researches and footwear manufacturers. Usually, the morphology of the foot is quantified by 2D footprints. However, footprint quantification ignores the foot's vertical dimension and hence, does not allow accurate quantification of complex 3D foot shape. Methods The shape variation of healthy 3D feet in a popu...
