Concussion History Moderates Trunk Motion and Lower Extremity Biomechanical Relationships During Jump Landing and Cutting

Kayla M. Kowalczyk, Eric J. Shumski, Julianne D. Schmidt, and Robert C. Lynall

postconcussion is altered landing biomechanics. In the absence of concussion, aberrant lower extremity biomechanics are prospectively associated with increased risk for musculoskeletal injury. 10 , 11 For instance, greater external knee abduction moments 11 and smaller knee flexion angles 10 during landing

biological joint(s) and, thus, interact directly with the wearer’s musculoskeletal system. To effectively unload or augment the biological joint, knowledge of joint biomechanics is typically incorporated into the design or control of the exo. Generally speaking, the research field has a good comprehension of

Biomechanics: 40 Years On

Joseph Hamill, Kathleen M. Knutzen, and Timothy R. Derrick

As a subdiscipline within the field of kinesiology, biomechanics is still a relatively new area of study. With roots in physical education in the 1970s ( Nelson, 1973 ), biomechanics was initially concerned with the study of sports techniques. Subsequently, biomechanics has developed into an

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

Lukáš Slovák, David Zahradník, William M. Land, Javad Sarvestan, Joseph Hamill, and Reza Abdollahipour

rotation and moments ( McLean et al., 2005 ; Shin et al., 2011 ), and high vertical ground reaction force (VGRF; Hewett et al., 2005 ) have been considered biomechanical risk factors for an ACL injury during landing. Fundamentally, the primary aim of landing is to attenuate vertical, horizontal, and side

Among the urgent needs is to increase participation of girls and women in engineering-based education and careers given that engineering is the most underrepresented STEM field by girls and women. 6 Biomechanics, as a subdiscipline of
