Although a completely different net knee moment curve was found when comparing the two lifting techniques, it appeared to be closely related to the ground reaction force vector and its orientation with respect to the joint centre of rotation ( R > 0.995). This close relation was established by...

If there are additional concerns that the contractile tissue (musculotendinous unit) is involved as a limiting factor, static positional stretching (Figure 31-7) or proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) contract-relax techniques are used. The static portion of the stretches should be held f...
As the most critical movement unit of a quadruped robot, the limb leg unit (LLU) directly affects movement speed and reliability, and requires a compact and lightweight design. Inspired by the dexterous skeleton–muscle systems of cheetahs and humans, this paper proposes a highly integrated ...
notably present in which the pelvis may be tilted or twisted in an unusual position. This situation requires manual therapy techniques to align joints properly and to reduce any unwanted muscle activity. In addition to aggressive manual techniques, the use of custom foot orthotics may be recommended...
The attachment of stimulus-inducing structures along the tibialis anterior muscle and tendon structure and/or the peroneal muscles and tendons has been found to be particularly favourable for an effective proprioceptive stimulation. It is therefore advantageous if, in the worn state of the leg apparel...
Neuromuscular synapses of the "fast" excitatory axon supplying the main extensor muscle in the leg of the shore crab Pachygrapsus crassipes were studied with electrophysiological and electron‐microscopic techniques. Electrical recording showed that many muscle fibers of the central region of the extensor...

techniques will be discussed here. In a standing patient, it is critical to ensure that the patient is standing with his or her feet comfortably apart (typically 6 to 8 inches) and not favoring one leg over the other, which would result in asymmetric abduction andadduction. The measurement...
