The aim of this test is to see the progress of the athlete’s ability of maintain a state of balance in a stationary position. First the athlete needs to take off their shoes and place their hands on their hips, then position the non-supporting foot against the inside knee of the supporting leg. The person is given one minute to practice the balance. The person raises their heel to balance on the ball of the foot. The stopwatch is started as the heel is raised from the floor.

Running, it is the simplest of movements: right foot, left foot, right foot, and the simplest of actions: run, relax, and breathe. Many individuals participate in this form of exercise because they enjoy how good it makes them feel, they enjoy feeling the strength of their body while they run, and they enjoy using it as a way of relieving their stress. There are many other factors to take into consideration that effect a persons running such as, the type of footwear they are using, the distance they are running, and the speed of which they are running at. The objective of the main article was to research and compare the differences in stride length, hip, knee and ankle angles in runners when running two different conditions, shod and barefoot, also while running at two

Individuals dependably think they have it the most noticeably bad contrasted with others yet in Mark Zusak's novel The Book Thief, Zusak's shows how the Jews had endured a lot in World War 2. The Jews were isolated from their families, little children were burned alive and no kindness was appeared towards the Jews. Hitler executed around 6 million Jews and 50 million soldiers, that suggests that 12% of blameless Jewish children and grown-ups passed away. Hitler did this as he trusted that the Jews were to be faulted for loss of the First World War. He thought executing them, and others would make the Germans/Aryans the superior race yet he killed children who shouldn't faulted because they didn't have any part in World War 1. Today's youngsters think they have it hard because they can't go out with their friends or don't have Wi-Fi and so on. The Jews needed to survive, their relatives would be killed before them. In The Book Thief, Mark Zusak's shown the huge

The participants then completed the functional evaluation by completing three one-leg hop tests on each limb. The longest distance was recorded and calculated as the percentage of the performance of the ACL reconstructed leg over the uninvolved leg, the scores were calculated as the limb symmetric index (LSI). The authors of this study defined the ceiling effect as the percent of participants who received the maximum score of 100 points. The Spearman correlation coefficient was used to examine the correlation between both scales and the limb symmetric index and was interpreted as r > 0.5 which indicated a strong association. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was then used to examine the distribution

When designing exoskeletons it is necessary to understand the biomechanics of human walking. The human walking gait cycle is represented on a scale of 0% to 100% and includes several notable phases shown in Figure 1. The structure of a human leg contains total of 7 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) with three rotational DOFs located at the hip, one at the knee and three at the ankle. Degrees of Freedom are directional factors that affect the range of independent motion in a system. Biomechanical measures of level ground walking at the hip, knee, and ankle are shown in Figure 2. The power requirement curves display the general power fluctuation for the hip as positive or near zero, the knee as negative, and the ankle is as equally balanced. This outcome signifies

The rationale for choosing the article by Gibson, Sprod, and Maher (2009) is that it contained many aspects of the PICO question. The participants had a diagnosis of cerebral palsy and were nonambulatory, and the age of the children ranged from 6 to 9 years old. This functional level is characteristic of a Level IV on the GMFCS for the age range between 6 and 12 years old. The study included a comparison for the use of a standing program and not using a standing program. The outcome measure was popliteal angle measurement of hamstring length that correlates to PROM of knee extension.

This article is about the fast growing technique of endurance running, which has evolved over the years significantly. Although it may seem like a bit trendy and popular, this particular type of running has its pros and cons. Due to the fact that endurance running includes a various amount of repetitive ground impact forces, it is not unlikely for one to develop a stress injury to the lower leg. In order to decrease the risk that comes along with endurance running, preventative measures should be enforced. When running some of the most common injuries that one may be at risk for are patellofemoral pain syndrome, tibial stress fractures, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendonitis. But in this article, a new study suggests that Barefoot running contains the potential to promote the healing process, increase performance, and decrease injury rates. Still to this day disagreement exists as to whether barefoot/minimalist running stimulates healing, increases performance and decreases injury rates.

There were several different interventions performed aimed at increasing range of motion, balance/proprioception, and to increase strength of the right lower extremity. Following the initial examination and evaluation a brief therapeutic exercise period ensued. The gastrocnemius and soleus were both stretched against a wall each for two sets of 60 seconds to help increase dorsiflexion range of motion (Radford, Burns, Buchbinder, Landford, Cook, 2006). Active range of motion for dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, inversion and eversion was performed on a wobble board while seated for 20 repetitions in each directions to increase range of motion, but more importantly to improve proprioception (Bernier and Perrin, 1998). Plantar flexion strength was addressed by utilizing green thera-tubing around the forefoot with the patient holding the other end of the tube. This was performed for one set of 20 repetitions. Body weight squats using a railing for support were chosen as they are a closed kinetic chain exercise that challenges the gluteus muscle group as well as hamstrings while also causing dorsiflexion of the ankles (Gryzlo SM, Patek RM, Pink M, Perry J, 1994). Closed chain exercises were started initiated at the first visit as they cause an increase in joint compressive forces which can lead to increased stability, increased muscle activation, and decreased joint shearing forces (Harter, 1996). Supine bridges on a 55 cm theraball were performed for 20 repetitions to address the

Capasso et al (1989) made a comparison of adhesive and non-adhesive tape when applied to the ankle. The authors determined that non-adhesive tape must be exchanged every three days due to loss of compression, and also confirmed that adhesive tape could be left on for five days. In this study, the forces were measured by merging a sphygmomanometer with the ankle taping. However, such method did not reveal an exact measurement and thus it was criticized. The subjects were instructed to heel strike, foot weight bear and toe-off weight bear while the data was collected in between phases as they held the position. This mechanical function did not reflect a real time gait cycle and therefore it was an inaccurate representation to gait. Furthermore,

There is a relationship that exists between ankle ROM and balance among community-dwelling elderly women with no health problems (Mecagni et al) (Chesworth et al, 1992). Ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (Lord

Past research on limb asymmetry during running has focused on asymmetry of runners tested with treadmills (Girard, et.al, 2017). A novel device, pedoped (Novel, Munich, Germany), measures the normal force between the foot and shoe, which serves as a surrogate measure for the vertical ground reaction force. The ground reaction force is the force exerted by the ground on the human body. Traditionally, ground reaction forces are measured using a tri-axial force plate so that the 3 components of the force (anterior-posterior, medial-lateral, and vertical) can be measured independently. While this method of assessing load on the lower extremity is standard, it is not possible to assess load outside of the laboratory setting. However, most athletes

At this point in time neurological gait disorders, which according to Driscoll and Skinner (2008) include:

The discovery of Uranus is quite interesting because it wasn’t something that people were expecting. The known planets at the time were Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Williams Herschel had a strong interest in astronomy. He was a firm believer that there was life out in the universe besides just on Earth. He was a very smart man who studied astronomy in unconventional ways. Other astronomers were interested in studying the positioning of stars and orbits. Herschel was searching for something. He went as far as building his own telescopes which turned out to be superior versions then what other astronomers used. He spent a lot of his nights looking through theses telescopes for signs of life out in space. This was
