Although clinicians judge muscle tenseness by palpation, methods to quantify this have not become established. We examined the reliability and validity of a commercially available myotonometer to assess the biceps brachii and brachioradialis. Torques

A preliminary model is presented for estimating floor reaction forces during human walking based only on kinematic data. Such a model would be useful for supplementing purely qualitative gait analysis performed in clinics where force plates would be

Although techniques such as roentgenograms and magnetic resonance imaging can provide definitive information about leg length inequality, they are not easily implemented for screening purposes. Using relative heights of palpated iliac crests as crite

This research examines a question about which is worse to the knee joint: increasing body weight or decreasing muscle force. We simulated unilateral weight bearing and analyzed the extent to which each had a deleterious effect on the knee joint. We u

We explored the extent to which fair knee extensors might be judged to be weaker than the normal knee extensors of healthy young adults. To obtain quantitative data for normal strength of knee extensors, we recorded knee torque in 20 healthy young su

The purpose of this investigation was to study the effect of elevating the heel during unilateral weight-bearing on structure of the foot, especially a "flat" foot, and on function of the foot in maintaining balance. We examined 16 healthy women, 21

The purpose of this study was to see whether an electromyographic (EMG) index of gait instability is applicable to the developmental process of supported walking in normal neonates and infants. In six neonates ranging in age from 14 to 26 days after

In this study, incidence of trigger points was compared between 75 children with cerebral palsy and 25 children without neuromuscular impairment. The children with cerebral palsy were recruited to form three groups of 25 children each according to im

To develop an index of gait instability from electromyographic information, we made observations on infants from the time they first began to walk independently at about one year of age until around three years of age. From our findings we obtained t

The object of this study was to estimate changes in pressure on the tibial plateau as a person stands up from being seated in a chair. Eight young men and eight young women performed this task while being photographed by a video camera from the left
