Movement variability is defined as the normal variations in motor performance across
multiple repetitions of a task. However, the term “movement variability” can mean different …

Purpose: Overuse injuries are common in sport, but complete understanding of injury risk
factors remains incomplete. Although biomechanical studies frequently examine …

The successful completion of motor tasks requires effective control of multiple degrees of
freedom (DOF), with adaptations occurring as a function of varying performance constraints …

Recent evidence suggests previously concussed athletes are at greater risk for lower-
extremity (LE) injuries than are controls. However, little is known regarding the influence of …

When assessing biomechanics in a laboratory setting, task selection is critical to the
production of accurate and meaningful data. The injury biomechanics of landing is …

The ability to rapidly complete a jump landing has received little attention in the literature
despite the need for rapid performance in a number of sports. As such, our purpose was to …

Inconsistencies between sexes in the landing criteria provided by the international
gymnastics governing body (FIG) may predispose female gymnasts to lower extremity injury …

This study examined the effects of medial longitudinal arch (MLA) flexibility on kinetics
during the eccentric and concentric subphases of a drop vertical jump (DVJ). Physically …

Abstract Background Many children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are school-aged
and typically carry a backpack. It is important to understand how this task affects walking …

Introduction: Coordination of multiple degrees of freedom in the performance of dynamic and
complex motor tasks presents a challenging neuromuscular control problem. Experiments …
