Control of Walking Speed in Young and Old Adults
(East Carolina University, 2012)Walking is a basic form of locomotion and walking velocity is a good predictor of human health, with faster velocities indicating better health. While faster walking velocities have been attributed to overall increases ... -
How do we accelerate while running?
(East Carolina University, 2015)Running biomechanics are well established in terms of lower extremity joint kinetics as is the direct relationship between these variables and running speed. Many studies have investigated the differences in these variables ... -
Influence of training history and contraction velocity on hamstring muscle coactivation during maximal effort knee extension
(East Carolina University, 2012)When a muscle produces voluntary force, muscles on the opposite side of the joint, the antagonists, are also activated. While coactivation of the knee flexors during knee extension is presumed to increase joint stability ... -
Measuring Individual Muscle Force Using Ultrasound Elastography and Motion Capture
(East Carolina University, 2023-05-04)Human musculature is over-determined so that one muscle could complete a movement that we make using several. For example, the biceps brachii is an agonist muscle for both elbow flexion and supination of the forearm. In ...
