The Relationships Between Physical Capacity And Biomechanical Plasticity With Age During Level And Incline Walking
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-11)
Old compared to young adults exhibit a distal-to-proximal redistribution of joint contributions to support phase mechanics during level and incline walking. Although this biomechanical plasticity is now well established ...
The Effects of Quadriceps Strengthening Exercise on Quadriceps Muscle Biomechanics During Locomotion in Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease characterized by knee joint deterioration and pain, while also being associated with altered knee joint mechanics and quadriceps strength deficits. Research investigating the effects ...
The relationship between visual steadiness and force steadiness in young and old adults
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Old adults exhibit a decrease in muscle force steadiness and visual capability compared to young adults. Many studies investigating force steadiness have used a visual target as the stimulus for modulating muscle force. ...
