Lead Foot Progression Angle in Baseball Pitchers: Implications to Ball Velocity and Upper-Extremity Joint Moments

Matthew J. Solomito, Andrew D. Cohen, Erin J. Garibay, and Carl W. Nissen

determination of ball release, the calculation of instantaneous ball velocity, and the computation of joint kinetics. Ball velocity was calculated as an instantaneous velocity, utilizing a 3-point differentiation of the ball after it left the pitcher’s hand. The markers placed on the ball are known to decrease

The Effect of Cryotherapy Application to the Knee Joint on Dynamic Postural Stability

Karl Fullam, Brian Caulfield, Garrett F. Coughlan, Wayne McNulty, David Campbell, and Eamonn Delahunt

 < .01 (2-tailed). The mean difference in COMP reach distance score was 2.81%MAXD with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 1.97 to 3.64. Kinetics There was no statistically significant difference in FD for the ANT reach direction from precryotherapy (1.50 [0.12]) to postcryotherapy (1.55 [0.13]), t

The Within-Subjects Effects of Practice on Performance of Drop Landing in Healthy, Young Adults

James Hackney, Jade McFarland, David Smith, and Clinton Wallis

Effect of Fatigue on Hip and Knee Joint Biomechanics in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Deficient Patients

Komeil Dashti Rostami and Abbey Thomas

to better design rehabilitation programs. Therefore, this study examined the effects of fatigue on hip and knee kinematics and kinetics in ACLD patients compared with healthy individuals during single-leg drop landing. We hypothesized the ACLD patients would display different hip and knee

Response of Knee Joint Biomechanics to Landing Under Internal and External Focus of Attention in Female Volleyball Players

ACL loading. Consequently, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of attentional focus instructions on the point-by-point changes in the kinematics (i.e., knee angles and angular velocities) and kinetics (i.e., force, moments, and knee energy absorption) of drop jump landings. In

Effectiveness of Augmented Feedback on Drop Landing Using Baseline Vertical Ground Reaction in Female Athletes

Becky Heinert, Drew Rutherford, and Thomas W. Kernozek

Limitations Despite drop landing being widely used in studies to evaluate kinematics and kinetics that may be related to knee injury, this task may lack

Lower Limb Extension Power is Associated With Slope Walking Joint Loading Mechanics in Older Adults

Influence of Music Style and Rate on Repetitive Finger Tapping

Elizabeth L. Stegemöller, Joshua R. Tatz, Alison Warnecke, Paul Hibbing, Brandon Bates, and Andrew Zaman

kinematics and kinetics were recorded. Our primary hypothesis is that music, regardless of style, compared with the tone-only condition will increase movement amplitude and decrease movement variability at both movement rates. Methods Participants A total of 31 HYAs (16 women, 30 right-hand dominant, age [ M
