Effects of Medial and Lateral Motion of the Foot during a Forward Slip on the Loss and Recovery of Balance

Creator:: Blackwell, Allison M.
Abstract:: Falls, especially those caused by slips, are a major health concern. Past research has examined the mechanisms of preventing a fall from a forward slip; however, the effects of a mediolateral component to the slip have not been thoroughly analyzed. The purpose of this study was to examine how medial...

Effects of Long-term Use of Ankle Taping on Balance

Creator:: McGregor, Stephanie
Abstract:: Regular ankle taping is commonly used to prevent ankle sprains, but the effects of its long-term use are not fully understood. This study examined the effects of ankle taping on balance in athletes who regularly tape their ankles versus those who do not. Fourteen collegiate gymnasts’ ability to balance on...

Spatial consumption and risk of lower back disorder during assisted toilet transfers on board an aircraft

Creator:: Philbrick, Kenneth Alan
Abstract:: A major barrier to air travel for people with disabilities is the general lack of accessible lavatories on board commercial passenger aircraft. A primary reason for this lack of greater accessibility is related to space. To design an airplane lavatory that is accessible, minimizes the risk of injury to both...

Preventing falls from unpredictable balance disturbances

Creator:: Welsh, Lisa R.
Abstract:: Falls, particularly those due to slips, constitute a major health risk for older adults. Past research has found that individuals can learn not to fall through repeated exposure to a slipping perturbation. Slips can be unpredictable, however. The goal of this study was to determine whether similar adaptations would occur...

The effects of voluntary step-training on slip recovery

Creator:: Baxter, Josh R.
Abstract:: Falls caused by slips are a major health risk to older adults and place a large financial strain on the health care system. Previous research has found that individuals can learn to recover their balance after being exposed to a series of simulated slips. However, training large numbers of older...

Effects of Different Strength Levels on the Ability of Older Adults to Recover from Backward or Forward Balance Losses

Creator:: Haberly, Gabriel J.
Abstract:: Falls in older adults are an important concern due to the potential injuries associated with falling. Decreases in muscle strength as a result of natural aging could impair the ability of older adults to prevent either a backward or forward fall. Two musculoskeletal models were used to predict the effect...

Effects of the aging-related loss in lower extremity strength on the feasible region for balance recovery

Creator:: Kadono, Norio
Abstract:: A backward fall is a major cause of hip fractures. Hip fractures have the potential to increase the mortality rate of older adults. Thus, the prevention of backward falls by older adults is a critical subject to be studied. Specifically, it remains unknown what effect aging-related losses in muscle strength...

Effects of decision making on landing neuromechanics as a function of task and sex

Creator:: Mache, Melissa A
Abstract:: Although the incidence of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries is greater among women than men athletes, the factors that contribute to this greater risk of injury are not well understood. One relevant question is whether decision making during landing influences the biomechanical and neuromuscular factors thought to contribute to...

Biomechanics of dependent transfers on an aircraft

Creator:: Higginson, Brian Keith
Abstract:: The dependent transfer of a traveler with disabilities on board an aircraft places the transferors, as well as the traveler, at risk of disabling lower back injury. This risk is increased on board an aircraft due to the confined space in which the transfer takes place. The purpose of the...

Acute and delayed effects of an exhaustive bout of exercise on landing biomechanics in women and men

Creator:: Kipp, Kristof
Abstract:: Although female athletes are at greater risk of non-contact knee injuries than men, the factors that contribute to these injuries are not well understood. One important question is whether intense exercise influences the risk of knee injury, both acutely and over the following days. The purpose of this study was...
