Modeling of expandable polystyrene and polyacrylamide kinetics: model accuracy and intrinsic kinetic parameters Ghent University
Joint kinematics and kinetics of overground accelerated running versus running on an accelerated treadmill Ghent University University of Antwerp
Literature shows that running on an accelerated motorized treadmill is mechanically different from accelerated running overground. Overground, the subject has to enlarge the net anterior-posterior force impulse proportional to acceleration in order to overcome linear whole body inertia, whereas on a treadmill, this force impulse remains zero, regardless of belt acceleration. Therefore, it can be expected that changes in kinematics and joint ...
The inter-laboratory equivalence for lower limb kinematics and kinetics during unplanned sidestepping KU Leuven
Much inter-intra-tester kinematic and kinetic repeatability research exists, with a paucity investigating inter-laboratory equivalence. The objective of this research was to evaluate the inter-laboratory equivalence between time varying unplanned kinematics and moments of unplanned sidestepping (UnSS). Eight elite female athletes completed an established UnSS procedure motion capture laboratories in the UK and Australia. Three dimensional time ...
Changes in running kinematics and kinetics after a 12-week running program for beginners KU Leuven
The effect of running training on running kinematics and kinetics in novice runners has not yet been investigated. Previous studies have shown that novice runners are less economical and more prone to injury compared to well-trained runners. Since running economy (RE) and running injury risk have been associated with biomechanical variables that may be trainable, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a 12-week training program ...
Contribution of muscle short-range stiffness to initial changes in joint kinetics and kinematics during perturbations to standing balance: A simulation study KU Leuven
Simulating realistic musculoskeletal dynamics is critical to understanding neural control of muscle activity evoked in sensorimotor feedback responses that have inherent neural transmission delays. Thus, the initial mechanical response of muscles to perturbations in the absence of any change in muscle activity determines which corrective neural responses are required to stabilize body posture. Muscle short-range stiffness, a history-dependent ...
How reliable are knee kinematics and kinetics during side-cutting manoeuvres? KU Leuven
Side-cutting tasks are commonly used in dynamic assessment of ACL injury risk, but only limited information is available concerning the reliability of knee loading parameters. The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability of side-cutting data with additional focus on modelling approaches and task execution variables.
