  • Kinematic and Electromyographic Analysis of Elbow Flexion During Inertial Exercise 

    Tracy, James E.; Obuchi, Shuchi; Johnson, Ben (East Carolina University, 1995-09)
    Inertial exercise protocols are currently used clinically to improve and restore normal muscle function even though research to substantiate their effectiveness cannot be cited in the literature. The purpose of this study ...

  • Kinematic and kinetic comparison of running in standard and minimalist shoes 

    Willy, Richard W.; Davis, Irene S. (http://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/pages/default.aspx, 2013-07)
    The purpose of this study was to determine if running in a minimalist shoe results in a reduction in ground reaction forces and alters kinematics over standard shoe running. The secondary purpose of this study was to ...

  • Lower Extremity Strength and Mechanics During Jumping in Women With Patellofemoral Pain 

    Willson, John D.; Davis, Irene S. (2009)
    Context: Lower extremity (LE) weakness might be associated with altered mechanics during weight bearing in subjects with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Objective: To analyze LE strength, mechanics, and the association ...

  • Mirror gait retraining for the treatment of patellofemoral pain in female runners. 

    Willy, Richard W.; Scholz, John P.; Davis, Irene S. (http://www.journals.elsevier.com/clinical-biomechanics, 2012-12)
    BACKGROUND: Abnormal hip mechanics are often implicated in female runners with patellofemoral pain. We sought to evaluate a simple gait retraining technique, using a full-length mirror, in female runners with patellofemoral ...

  • A pathomechanical paradigm for treating the injured runner 

    Willy, Richard W. (http://legeforeningen.no/spesial/Norsk-forening-for-idrettsmedisin-og-fysisk-aktivitet/Norsk-idrettsmedisin/?so=0, 2013)
    Pathological mechanics are thought to play a role in many common running injuries. A review of the biomechanical literature reveals that a given running injury may be associated with multiple faulty running mechanics. ...
