Study data from B.C. Glaister and co-authors update knowledge of biomechanics
January 20th, 2009
"Understanding the kinetic strategies Of turning as expressed in ground reaction forces (GRFs) and impulses (GRIs) is necessary to design therapies and technologies to enable patients with ambulatory difficulties perform daily activities. Previous studies have reported data only for one step of the turn and expressed the data in terms of a global reference frame making it difficult to understand how the forces act on the body to cause a change in heading and orientation during a turn," scientists writing in the Journal of Biomechanics report. "This study is the first to report GRF and GRI data for three steps of a turn and express that data in terms of a body...
