Creator:: Cronin, Baker
Abstract:: Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are relatively common in female athletes with greater frontal plane knee motion and loading during a landing task predictive of injury. As a result, decreasing knee abduction motion and loading is important for ACL injury prevention. While increased strength of the hip abductors, extensors, and external...

Abstract:: Iliotibial (IT) band syndrome is a common overuse injury which affects many runners and can result in needing to take time off from running to alleviate symptoms or allow the injury to heal. Common biomechanical characteristics of those affected by IT band syndrome include increased hip adduction, knee varus, and...

Creator:: Stutzenberger, Lyndsay R.
Abstract:: Exercise programs that are individualized and moderately challenge balance to address falls risk factors are recommended for preventing falls in community-dwelling older adults. Little is known regarding the biomechanical and postural control demands in exercises commonly performed in falls prevention programs. Twenty-two non-sedentary, healthy older adults (11 men, 11 women,...

Creator:: Huang, Yu-Lun
Abstract:: Lesser quadriceps explosive strength following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) may result in the use of altered landing mechanics that increase the risk for a second ACL injury. Reduced capacity to produce explosive strength in the quadriceps is potentially driven, at least in part, by quadriceps arthrogenic muscle inhibition...

Creator:: Chang, Eun Wook
Abstract:: A functional test battery (FTB), which combines the use of subjective and objective functional measures, has been proposed as a potential means to distinguish anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed (ACLR) patients' that can more safely participate in activity from those at greater risk. However, no previous study has directly assessed whether...

Creator:: Dinger, Melanie
Abstract:: Falls are a common problem among older adults, including those who are relatively healthy and living independently. Exercise has been recommended as an intervention to reduce falls by slowing and/or reversing age-related declines in balance, strength, and mobility. However, it remains unclear which types or combinations of programs are most...
