Single leg vertical jump performance identifies knee function deficits at return to sport after ACL reconstruction in male athletes
Objectives Vertical jump performance (height) is a more representative metric for knee
function than horizontal hop performance (distance) in healthy individuals. It is not known …

The functional importance of human foot muscles for bipedal locomotion
Human feet have evolved to facilitate bipedal locomotion, losing an opposable digit that
grasped branches in favor of a longitudinal arch (LA) that stiffens the foot and aids bipedal …

How muscles maximize performance in accelerated sprinting
We sought to provide a more comprehensive understanding of how the individual leg
muscles act synergistically to generate a ground force impulse and maximize the change in …

The energetic behaviour of the human foot across a range of running speeds
The human foot contains passive elastic tissues that have spring-like qualities, storing and
returning mechanical energy and other tissues that behave as dampers, dissipating energy …

How mechanics of individual muscle-tendon units define knee and ankle joint function in health and cerebral palsy—a narrative review
This study reviews the relationship between muscle-tendon biomechanics and joint function,
with a particular focus on how cerebral palsy (CP) affects this relationship. In healthy …

A direct comparison of biplanar videoradiography and optical motion capture for foot and ankle kinematics
Measuring motion of the human foot presents a unique challenge due to the large number of
closely packed bones with congruent articulating surfaces. Optical motion capture (OMC) …

The effect of interventions anticipated to improve plantar intrinsic foot muscle strength on fall-related dynamic function in adults: a systematic review
L Willemse, EJM Wouters, HM Bronts… - Journal of foot and ankle …, 2022 - Springer
Background The plantar intrinsic foot muscles (PIFMs) have a role in dynamic functions,
such as balance and propulsion, which are vital to walking. These muscles atrophy in older …
