Abstract:

The sample included 29 healthy competitive male distance runners. Bilateral measurements were taken for selected variables of the talocalcaneal flexibility by means of a mechanical goniometer, and of the peak isokinetic knee strength on a Cybex II device. The frontal and horizontal plane motions of the lower limbs of the subjects were recorded by high speed filming and videotaping while they were running on a motor driven treadmill at their training pace under two conditions: with running shoes and barefoot. A detailed description of each runner's history was obtained and bilateral dominance c

Abstract:

Vascular injuries in lower limbs are rare but serious events. If not detected and managed correctly and timely they can lead to permanent functional impairment and even limb loss. The increasing number of orthopaedic interventions, worldwide, makes awareness of this problem among orthopaedic surgeons important. The overall aim of this thesis was to describe lower limb orthopaedic injuries with associated concomitant arterial injuries, especially to the popliteal artery. Epidemiology, mechanisms of injury, management, outcomes and the patient perspective were all addressed. The research questio

Abstract:

The signature weapon of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan has been the roadside bomb (anti-vehicle mine, AV) or improvised explosive device (IED). Detonation of the explosive under a vehicle leads to rapid deflection of the vehicle floor, transmitting a very short duration, high amplitude load into the foot and ankle complex in contact with it. To date, there has been no clinical data on the pattern of lower limb injury or clinical outcome following an under-vehicle explosion.

Abstract:

Musculoskeletal injuries are a major concern for the military resulting in substantial burdens for both recruits and the service. Recruits report high incidence of musculoskeletal injuries with the majority occurring to the lower limbs. Consequences of recruit injuries can be considerable for the individual including reduced participation, injury chronicity, training time loss and career pathway change due to backsquad or discharge. For the military, recruit injuries can result in increased health care expenditure, additional costs related to training, and recruitment and retention to replace

Abstract:

The proliferation of Improvised Explosive Devices during the War in Afghanistan (2001 – 2014) caused many casualties and deaths on all sides of the conflict. Casualty data from the UK field hospital in Afghanistan identified 155 casualties with fractures in 108 femoral long bone segments in 93 femora, and 131 tibial long bone segments in 114 tibiae. The diaphysis was the commonest site of fracture in the tibia (53%) and femur (44%). The head and face (30%) and upper limbs (36%) were the commonest sites of associated injuries.

Abstract:

Epidemiological studies consistently report that muscular strains are a primary injury type in rugby union with the majority of the strains occurring to the quadricep and hamstring musculature. Recently it has been suggested that poor eccentric muscular strength is a precursor to hamstring and quadriceps strains during intermittent sports that require rapid acceleration and deceleration. Despite the high incidence of these muscle injuries in Rugby Union there has been little research into the possible mechanisms involved. Thus, the purpose of this study was to measure the physiological and per

Running injuries were compared between twenty four middle distance (800 metress) and forty four marathon runners of elite status in Queensland, Australia. All runners were interviewed individually on their injury history and possible associations. The runners were biomechanically examined to assess their foot type which were categorised as either pes planus, pes cavus or normal. Anthropometric and body mass index measurements indicated that the middle distance athletes were lighter in weight and taller than the marathon runners (p < 0.01).

Abstract:

With the general increase in Rugby union's popularity the past decade, there has been an increase in sport injuries, both from acute and overuse trauma. Approximately half of all sport injuries may be attributed to overuse or repetitive micro trauma rather than a single traumatic event. Although very few overuse injuries have an established aetiology, the fact that over 80% of these injuries occurs at or below the knee suggests that there may be some common mechanisms in the aetiology. It could only be stated with certainty that the aetiology of these injuries is multifactorial and diverse, wi

Abstract:

Introduction: Football is one of the most popular sports played globally. Male players constitute 82% of football players around the world. As the number of football players increases, we expect more sports injuries to occur. Knee ligament injuries, such as Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), are considered one of the most devastating injuries because of the consequences from the resulting damage. A large proportion of these injuries result from a non-contact mechanism. Some of the biomechanical risk factors in non-contact injuries are considered modifiable, therefore it is important to understa

Running is generally associated with improved overall health but it also yields a significant risk of sustaining running-related musculoskeletal injuries. The association between hip dysfunction and lower limb injuries sustained in long-distance runners is not clear; therefore, a systemat

碩士<br>國立體育大學<br>教練研究所<br>100<br>No study to date investigated the prevalence of lower limb injuries in collegiate gymnastic athletes. The purpose of the study was to investigate the prevalence of lower limb injuries of competitive gymnastic athletes in Taiwanese colleges. The investigation included causation analysis and recovery from rehabilitation and therapy. Forty gymnastic athletes, who participated in 2009 national intercollegiate athletic games, were recruited. The prevalence and causation of sports injures was investigated by a self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics wa

Abstract:

A Research Report submitted to the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand Gauteng, 2017<br>Background Soccer is a sport that is gaining in popularity in the elite and non-elite populations worldwide. As a result, the number of injuries in soccer is increasing. Hamstring injuries in particular, with a reported incidence rate as high as 63%, are of significant concern. Most hamstring injuries tend to occur during the swing phase of sprinting when hamstring activity is at its highest. As the speed of sprinting increases, greater mobility in the lumbo-pelvic area is re

Abstract:

碩士<br>中原大學<br>生物醫學工程研究所<br>104<br>Researches showed that the mortality after 1 year of hip fracture is highly relative with patient’s ability of mobility. Patients after receiving orthopedic interventions of lower limbs may suffer from difficulty in returning pre-injury health and functional ability. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the ambulation function during the process of post-operative rehabilitation. Doctors’ opinions and physical examination are common tools for assessing treatment outcomes in clinical. However, even though it can have more objective result, using accelerometer

In recent years, many BCIs for stroke rehabilitation with motor imagery have been report. To develop a BCI system for rehabilitation, this thesis designs an experimental procedure based on lower limb motor imagery. The experiment consists of three states, including resting state, left foot motor imagery and right foot motor imagery. Participants are divided into three groups, stroke, h
