PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare lower extremity (LE) biomechanics between professional dancers (PD) and nondancers (ND) during multidirectional single-leg landings. METHODS: Fifteen PD (27 +/- 7 yr, 1.69 +/- 0.1 m, 57.8 +/- 9.3 kg) and 15 ND (25 …
PURPOSE: The instep soccer kick is a pre-programmed ballistic movement with a typical agonist-antagonist coordination pattern. The coordination pattern of the kick can provide insight into deficient neuromuscular control. The purpose of this study …
The purpose of this study was to assess kinematic lower extremity motion patterns (hip flexion, knee flexion, knee valgus, and ankle dorsiflexion) during various foot-landing techniques (self-preferred, forefoot, and rear foot) between genders. 3-D …
