Biomechanics Of Sit-To-Stand And Stand-To-Sit In Typical Children Aged 4 - 12 Years And Young Adults, Potjanun Mapaisansin
Biomechanics Of Sit-To-Stand And Stand-To-Sit In Typical Children Aged 4 - 12 Years And Young Adults, Potjanun Mapaisansin
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
The aim of study is to investigate the biomechanical pattern of sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit movement in children aged 4 to 12 years and young adults. Seventy-six participants were separated into 4 groups as following: (1) 18 children aged 4-6 years; (2) 19 children aged 7-9 years; (3) 20 children aged 10-12 years; (4) 19 adults aged 18-25 years. All participants performed their preferred pattern of sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit movement. The results showed that two patterns of sit-to-stand movement were found including sit-to-stand with and without feet moving backward. Children performed sit-to-stand with and without feet moving backward while adults only …
Comparisons Of The Four Square Step Test And The Four Square Step Test On Foam Surface In Their Accuracy To Discriminate Between Elderly With And Without Fall History, Phakkanut Mathurapongsakul
Comparisons Of The Four Square Step Test And The Four Square Step Test On Foam Surface In Their Accuracy To Discriminate Between Elderly With And Without Fall History, Phakkanut Mathurapongsakul
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
The aims of this study were 1) to investigate the intra-rater reliability, inter-rater reliability and concurrent validity of the four square step test with foam (FSST+foam) and 2) to compare the four square step test (FSST) and the FSST+foam in their accuracy for discriminating among faller elderly, non-faller elderly, and adults. Twelve participants (4 each group) were assessed by the FSST, FSST+foam, timed up and go test (TUG) and five times sit to stand test (FTSST). The intraclass correlation coefficient and correlation coefficient were calculated to determine the reliability and validity, respectively. To investigate the accuracy for discriminating between groups, …
Anatomical And Biomechanical Factors Associated With Plantar Fasciitis In Thai Male Conscripts, Pavinee Harutaichun
Anatomical And Biomechanical Factors Associated With Plantar Fasciitis In Thai Male Conscripts, Pavinee Harutaichun
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Etiology of plantar fasciitis among novice conscripts is multifactorial. The combination of all potential factors should be included for multivariate analysis to determine the significant predictors. The present study aimed to identify the intrinsic predictors of plantar fasciitis among novice conscripts. Two hundred and seventy healthy male conscripts who were without lower back or lower extremity pain prior to the commencement of military training were participated in this study. Intrinsic predictors which included individual, anatomical, and biomechanical variables were assessed at baseline. After 10 weeks of training, 113 participants were assessed again and classified as having (n = 71) or …
