Wessbecher, Laura. "Foot Strike in Runners: The Relationship Between Heel Length, Foot Strike, and Calf Muscle Thickness." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2015. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/595.

Abstract:

One major way that running style varies between individuals is how their foot strikes the ground (forefoot strike or rearfoot strike). Running generates a torque about the ankle that depends on the individual’s foot strike pattern, length of their plantar flexor moment arm, and force generated from the plantar flexor muscles. The foot strike pattern during running, gastrocnemii muscle thickness, and heel length (used as an approximation for plantar flexor moment arm) were determined in 41 runners. Forefoot and rearfoot strike runners had the same thickness of the gastrocnemii muscles. However,

Abstract:

Idiopathic clubfoot causes severe deformity of the foot and lower leg. Due to the complex anatomy and small size of the foot, the condition is diﬃcult to deﬁne and describe. This study focused on 3D modeling of diﬀerent foot positions associated with clubfoot relapse, and investigation of muscle parameters. The 3D modeling was performed in the AnyBody Modeling System to retrieve information about muscle length. Musculoskeletal modeling could provide further understanding of the condition and contribute to assessment and treatment evaluation. Five children that received clubfoot treatment as in

Abstract:

Background: Maximal muscle strength and body proportions are some of the key attributes to be a fast swimmer. Even though dolphin kick (DK) has become essential to be a fast swimmer little is known of its associations to muscle strength and body proportions. Moreover, the effect of feet size has been stated to be a primary contributor to dolphin kick thrust production, but scientific evidence is still scarce. Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between lower extremity muscle strength, abdominal strength and feet length with dolphin kick performance over 15 meters in activ

Abstract:

Human bipedal locomotion is characterized by a habitual heel-strike (HS) plantigrade gait, yet the significance of walking foot-posture is not well understood. To date, researchers have not fully investigated the costs of non-heel-strike (NHS) walking. Therefore, we examined walking speed, walk-to-run transition speed, estimated locomotor costs (lower limb muscle volume activated during walking), impact transient (rapid increase in ground force at touchdown) and effective limb length (ELL) in subjects (n=14) who walked at self-selected speeds using HS and NHS gaits.

Abstract:

Background: Patellofemoral pain is a common disorder whose aetiology is complex often being described as multifactorial, increased load of the patellofemoral joint is often attributed to foot function. Foot orthoses are commonly prescribed for this condition; however the mechanisms by which they work are poorly understood. Previous studies using single segment foot models have hypothesised that it may be control of the midfoot which hold the key to understanding orthotic control. Over the last decade biomechanical analyses has advanced so it has become possible to divide the foot into segments

Abstract:

Kinematic foot modelling and pedobarography are complementary measurement methods for measuring foot biomechanics in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Pedobarography appears to be the most sensitive instrument measuring significantly decreased hindfoot and increased lateral forefoot mean plantar pressure and force in the children with gastrocnemius contracture, whilst the corresponding changes in foot kinematics were non-significant. Foot deformity is common in CP and is often due to hypertonia and contracture in spastic muscles. The aim of this study was to establish the repeatability of two

Ankle-foot orthoses are commonly prescribed amongst subjects with diplegic cerebral palsy as a conservative orthotic intervention.

Abstract:

Lakes are among the most susceptible ecosystems to anthropogenic modification as humans are drawn to freshwaters for the multitude of ecosystems services they provide. The littoral habitat structure of lakes, both in the form of aquatic vegetation (macrophytes) and coarse woody debris (CWD), is often negatively altered by direct and indirect human activities. Little is known about the effect that loss of littoral structure might have on whole lake food webs with respect to energy flow and trophic transfers. The maximum number of trophic transfers within a food web is referred to as food chai

Although cricket is played around the world by all ages, very little attention has been focused on junior cricket. The research presented here evaluated the effects on junior cricket of reducing the pitch length, developed a method for scaling the pitch to suit the players and applied this method to the under-11 age group. In the first of four studies it was established that shortening the cricket pitch had positive effects for bowlers, batters and fielders at both club and county standards, consequently resulting in matches that were more engaging.

Freshwater ecosystems are some of the most threatened on the planet. Efforts to conserve, restore, or otherwise manage large rivers and the services they provide are hindered by limited understanding of the functional dynamics of these systems.
