Previous ovine motion capture studies have quantified front and rear limb kinematic and kinetic gait parameters; however the full-body biomechanics of sheep have yet to be fully quantified. In this work, an experimental design including the setup of a Vicon motion capture system, AMTI force platforms, a custom walkway with integrated force platform...
Objectives
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training provides partial occlusion at the proximal upper and lower extremities and has been shown to improve muscular strength and hypertrophy following an injury or surgery. By eliciting hypoxic intramuscular conditions, we can stimulate adaptive processes in skeletal muscle in a similar manner to high inte...
Background: As blood flow restriction (BFR) utilization continues to rise, it is crucial to define optimal parameters for use. Currently unknown are the effects of occlusion level during BFR on muscle activity in the proximal shoulder. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to compare electromyographic amplitude (EMGa) of shoulder muscul...
Background:
Recent evidence indicates that combined upper extremity blood flow restriction (BFR, applied distally to the shoulder) and low-load resistance exercise (LIX) augments clinically meaningful responses in shoulder region tissues proximal to the occlusion site. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the efficacy of BFR-LIX for...
BACKGROUND CONTEXT
Ergometer rowing has gained popularity as a “low-impact” form of exercise. Lumbar spine injuries are the most common injury in rowers. Previous studies have shown ergometer training to be associated with an increased risk of injury. Muscular fatigue and spine range of motion may correlate to pain or injury in ergometer rowing.

INTRODUCTION: Tracking of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) is common following total joint replacement via various self-reported survey formats. However, such measures are highly subjective and limited.
The purpose of this study was to (1) develop a simple mobility outcomes testing battery (MOTB) incorporating movements of daily living as...
Introduction to Blood Flow Restriction: Blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy utilizes a specialized cuff that is applied proximally around an injured limb, and restricts blood flow (50-80% arterial limb occlusion pressure, LOP) via compression. When combined with low-intensity exercise (LIX; <30% 1-repetition maximum), BFR-LIX has been shown to mim...
Ultrasonic backscatter techniques may offer a useful approach for detecting changes in bone caused by osteoporosis. The goal of the present study was to investigate how bone mineral density (BMD) and the microstructure of human cancellous bone affect three ultrasonic backscatter parameters that have been identified as potentially useful for ultraso...
INTRODUCTION: Little data exists on the difference between various progressive hitting phases that may be involved with return to baseball after elbow injury. The purpose of this study was to critically analyze and report the kinetic force of the medial elbow during various phases and intensities of hitting in Division I collegiate baseball athlete...
Recently, the risk of hip injury during row exercise training has been illuminated by advances in diagnostic and imaging technology. PURPOSE: (1) To determine if a maximal effort 2000m row test commonly performed as a fitness assessment in rowers places participants in ranges of motion (ROM) associated with increased risk of hip injury (RISK THRESH...
Ultrasonic backscatter techniques are being developed to detect changes in cancellous bone caused by osteoporosis. One technique, called the backscatter difference technique, measures the power difference between two portions of a backscatter signal. The goal of the present study is to investigate how bone mineral density (BMD) and the microstructu...
Ultrasonic backscatter techniques are being developed to detect changes in bone caused by osteoporosis. Most techniques analyze backscatter signals in the frequency domain by measuring quantities related to the power spectrum. Investigate the utility of two backscatter parameters determined from a time domain analysis of backscatter signals: the no...
