Quantifying Passive Joint Stiffness At The Elbow Following Eimd Of The Elbow Flexors, Angus Lamont
Quantifying Passive Joint Stiffness At The Elbow Following Eimd Of The Elbow Flexors, Angus Lamont
Summer Research
Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) can cause symptoms such as reduced strength, inflammatory responses, delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and muscle/joint stiffness. Joint stiffness has traditionally been measured in static joint positions. The purpose of this project was to quantify joint stiffness at the elbow during passive isokinetic movement throughout the full range of motion after EIMD of the elbow flexors. Subjects performed 50 maximal eccentric muscle actions with their nondominant arm, with the dominant arm as a control. Several measurements, including limb circumference, relaxed elbow angle, perceived soreness, passive elbow joint stiffness, and isokinetic maximum strength were performed on both arms …

Force Characteristics In Different Shoe Designs, Bryson Nakamura
Summer Research
Women’s shoes are known to be constructed from the same parameters as men’s shoes but on a smaller scale. However, foot and gait characteristics are different between genders The purpose of this study was to determine if mid-sole design has an effect on ground reaction force characteristics during running, cutting and jumping motions. Twenty-two apparently healthy female (73.8±8.4 kg; 1.74±0.06 m) and seven male (73.5±5.3 kg; 1.68±0.02 m) current or recently graduated NCAA Division III athletes voluntarily participated in this study. Subjects wore four shoes with different mid-sole designs while performing five different actions: running, cutting, shuffling, back cut and …
