Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 45-year-old female with transfemoral amputation. It mentions that the amputation was on the left side, executed 30 years ago and has been using bionic knee for two years. The compromised possibilities of changing the walk to running in patients with transfemoral amputation has been emphasized.

Abstract

The article presents a case study which describes the selected biomechanical parameters of gait in patients with transfemoral amputation using a bionic knee design. The study discovers longer active propulsion on unaffected leg in the stance phase as against normal gait. It also finds the absence of flexion during the swing phase in the afflicted extremity of patient with a bionic knee joint.

Abstract

This paper examines the biomechanics of sprinting and sprint training. Various biomechanical models of sprint performance are considered with respect to the start, acceleration and speed maintenance phases of the 100 m sprint event together with the research that underpins those models. The impact of research on strength and conditioning training is discussed with special reference to the control of leg-spring stiffness and the applications of resistance and complex training modalities. Training practises for sprinting are discussed with respect to scientific evidence. The relevance of commonly used sprint and running drills is evaluated in relation to the kinematics and muscle activation patterns in sprinting. Finally, a simple coaching related model for the development of sprinting is presented which is consistent with scientific evidence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
