Determining Knee Loading For Abnormal Gait, Joel D. Hutchison, Dana C. Madsen, Timothy L. Norman, J. D. Blaha Md
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
The purpose of this study was to take known experimental loads throughout normal gait and to find the corresponding loading at the knee for both normal gait and abnormal gait. Abnormal gait was defined as a person with varus, i.e. “bowleggedness”, or a person who had an external rotation of the femur (or the inability to internally rotate the femur) which caused an indirect varus in the forward positions of gait. This problem was approached by imposing static equilibrium on the femur. This allowed the loads at the knee to be calculated from the loading at the hip. In order …

Defining Obesity: An Argument For The Social Environment Perspective, Meghan Mcinnis
Annual Undergraduate Conference on Health and Society
It is well documented that obesity is a growing problem in the U.S. and worldwide. By 2010, 35.9% of U.S. adults age 20 and older were obese (Overweight and Obesity, CDC). Obesity has been associated with many health problems, including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis, stroke, and cardiac disease (Lucey, 2008, p.202). What has just been described is the traditional, medicalized narrative of obesity. In this narrative, obesity is viewed as an epidemic that demands an immediate and widespread response (Lucey, 2008, p.202). The blame is placed largely on individuals, while social factors, such as socioeconomic status and neighborhood environment, …
