DETERMINING THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN KNEE MUSCLE STRENGTH AND VARUS THRUST IN KNEE OA
Varus thrust (VT), a biomechanical feature reported in knee OA is identified visually, quantified using frontal kinematics and associated with OA progression. Objectives: To determine the association between i) two objective ... -
Do Lower Extremity Biomechanics During Gait Predict Progression To Total Knee Arthroplasty?
(2013-12-23)Introduction: Gait biomechanics are associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA) structural progression, but no studies have included: i) all three lower extremity joints, ii) non-frontal plane factors, iii) temporal loading ... -
The Effect of Total Knee Arthroplasty on Knee Joint Kinematics and Kinetics During Gait
(Elsevier, 2011-02)This study determined how total knee arthroplasty (TKA) altered knee motion and loading during gait. Three-dimensional kinematic and kinetic gait patterns of 42 patients with severe knee osteoarthritis were collected 1 ... -
Pregnancy-Induced Remodeling of Heart Valves
(2014-08-19)Although many cardiovascular tissues have been shown to remodel when exposed to chronic changes in hemodynamic stresses, little is known about the capacity of heart valves to adapt in a non-disease state such as pregnancy. ... -
SIT-TO-STAND TRANSFER MECHANICS: THE EFFECT OF AGE AND LIFTING-SEAT DEVICE DESIGN
(2013-08-23)Objective: Lifting-seat devices are designed to raise the seat height to reduce biomechanical and neuromuscular demands of a sit-to-stand (STS). The goal of this thesis was to understand how seat height and lifting-seat ...
