Creator:: Arnold, Alison
Abstract:: With the growing incidence of total hip replacements performed each year in the United States, the incidence of patients with prosthesis requiring radiotherapy is bound to increase. It is necessary to understand and quantify the effects of the high atomic number material prostheses used in total hip replacements on therapeutic...

Creator:: Sundquist, Robert D.
Abstract:: The lack of hamstring muscle group flexibility has previously been associated with a higher incidence of hamstring strains among athletes. Several stretching methods have been shown to increase hip joint range of motion (ROM); however, identification of an optimal stretching method has proven difficult. The purpose of this study was...

Creator:: Haberly, Gabriel J.
Abstract:: Hip fractures have high mortality and morbidity rates after incidence, with osteoporosis being a major risk factor due to the loss of bone mineral density (BMD). Lower-body resistance exercises, such as squats, can provide sufficient loading on the hip to induce osteogenic effects. However, this loading may depend on how...

Full Text:: knee flexion) and peak loading on the hip joint were calculated using a biomechanical model

Creator:: Kitagawa, Taichi
Abstract:: The ability to quickly generate torque of the triple extensors is critical during rapid movements, especially when there is not enough time to reach peak torque. Rate of torque development (RTD), which is the rate of rise of the torque-time curve, is a commonly used measure of rapid torque generation....

Creator:: Golden, Grace M.
Abstract:: Rapid change-of-direction tasks have been associated with non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and females are more likely to suffer this injury compared to males. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the biomechanical behavior of running and three rapid change-of-direction tasks and determine whether sex differences exist across...

Creator:: Homayouni, Taymaz
Abstract:: This thesis explores the development of biomechanical models for evaluating a new class of passive mechanical implants for orthopedic surgery. The proposed implants take the form of passive engineered mechanisms and will be used to improve the functional attachment of muscles to tendons and bone by modifying the transmission of...
