The Effects Of Experimental Anterior Knee Pain On Bilateral Ground Reaction Forces During Running, Emily Rachel Cronk
The Effects Of Experimental Anterior Knee Pain On Bilateral Ground Reaction Forces During Running, Emily Rachel Cronk
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to examine the independent effects of anterior knee pain (AKP) on bilateral ground reaction force (GRF) during running, with a focus on GRF applied to the uninvolved leg, which, prior to this study, had never been evaluated. Twelve volunteers completed three data collection sessions, that corresponded to one of three conditions (control, sham, and pain), in a counterbalanced order. For each session, subjects ran for five minutes. For the pain and sham sessions, respectively, hypertonic and isotonic saline were infused into the infrapatellar fat pad of the right leg during the running, while no …
Effects Of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation On Quadriceps Activation And Walking Mechanics In Patients With Anterior Knee Pain, Brian Wiseman, J. Ty Hopkins
Effects Of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation On Quadriceps Activation And Walking Mechanics In Patients With Anterior Knee Pain, Brian Wiseman, J. Ty Hopkins
Journal of Undergraduate Research
More than ten million people in the U.S. suffer from knee pain, and one in every two people may develop chronic knee pain by age 85.3 Knee pain is also 1 of 5 leading causes of disability among adults, and alters muscle function and walking mechanics, which in turn, decreases quality of life.6 To alleviate the effects of knee pain and its consequences, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is often used to decrease perceived pain5 and increase quadriceps activation.7 However, it is unclear whether these benefits could offer potential improvement for walking mechanics. Therefore, the purpose …
Effect Of Experimentally-Induced Anterior Knee Pain On Postural Control, Emily Elizabeth Falk
Effect Of Experimentally-Induced Anterior Knee Pain On Postural Control, Emily Elizabeth Falk
Theses and Dissertations
Context: Knee pain is experienced by many people. Because of this, authors have started researching the effects of pain on lower extremity mechanics and also on static and dynamic postural control. However, the effects of pain are difficult to study due to associated confounding variables. Objective: We asked: (1) Will experimentally-induced anterior knee pain alter perceived pain using the visual analogue scale? ; (2) will perceived pain affect postural control as measured by center-of-pressure during static and dynamic movement? Design: Crossover. Setting: Biomechanics laboratory. Participants: Fifteen healthy subjects. Intervention: Each subject participated in single leg quiet stance, landing, and walking …
