“…The anatomical technique that was used in the present study was based on the recommendations of bell et al [6] via the inter-AsIs breadth. This method places the hip joint centre 14% medial, 22% posterior and 30% distal from the ipsilateral (right) AsIs (Fig.…”

“…The hip joint centre is an important identifying landmark in human movement analysis as it allows for the determination of the anatomical reference frame of the femur [1]. A number of techniques currently exist that include anatomical [6], functional [7,8] and projection [9] methods, all of which may influence the resultant hip and knee joint profiles [5]. Although the validity of each method has been reported to justify their utilization, there is currently a lack of information regarding the influence of the three available hip joint centre location techniques on 3-D kinematic parameters during fencing movements and the interchangeable use of each technique [10].…”

Purpose. The lunge is a fundamental offensive fencing technique, common to all contemporary fencing styles. Therefore, when using 3-D kinematic analysis to quantify lower extremity rotations during the fencing lunge, it is important for researchers to correctly interpret this movement. Locating the centre of the hip is required to accurately quantify hip and knee joint rotations, with three non-invasive techniques using anatomical, functional and projection methods currently available for the estimation of hip joint centre. This study investigated the influence of these three techniques on hip and knee joint kinematics during the fencing lunge. Methods. Three-dimensional kinematics of the lunge were collected from 13 experienced epee fencers using an eight-camera motion capture system. The 3-D kinematics of the lunge were quantified using the three hip joint centre estimation techniques. repeated measures ANOVAs were used to compare the discrete 3-D kinematic parameters, and intra-class correlations were employed to identify similarity across the 3-D kinematic waveforms from the three techniques. Results. The results indicate that whilst the kinematic waveforms were similar (R 2 0.96); significant differences in discrete parameters were also evident at both the hip and knee joint in the coronal and transverse planes. Conclusions. It appears based on these observations that different hip joint centre locations can significantly influence the resultant kinematic parameters and cannot be used interchangeably.

“…To define the pelvic seg-ment, additional markers were placed on the anterior (ASIS) and posterior (PSIS) superior iliac spines. The hip joint centre was determined using regression equations based on the separation between ASIS markers (Bell et al 1989). Rigid carbon-fibre tracking clusters comprising four retroreflective markers were positioned onto the pel-vis, thigh and shank segments and secured using tape.…”

Investigation into the kinetics and kinematics during running in the heelless shoe

et al. 2014

Background: Recent evidence suggests that runners who habitually rearfoot strike suffer higher rates of chronic injuries compared to those who adopt a mid/forefoot strike pattern. Based on this information new experimental heelless footwear was developed with the aim of mediating a mid/forefoot strike pattern. Objectives: T he aim of the current investigation was to examine the three-dimensional (3D) kinematics and ground reaction forces (GRFs) of running in conventional footwear in comparison to the heelless sho es. Methods: T welve male participants ran at 4.0 m.s À 1AE 5% in each footwear condition. Angular joint kinematics from the hip, knee and ankle in the sagittal, coronal and transverse planes were measured using an eight -camera optoelectric motion capture system. Synchronous ground reaction forces were also obtained allowing impact load parameters and estimates of Achilles tendon force to be quantified. Differences in GRFs and 3D kinematics between footwear were assessed using paired t-tests. Results: T he kinematic analysis indicated that, in comparison to the conventional running footwear, the heelless shoes were associated with significantly greater plantarflexion at foot strike and peak ankle eversion angle. Furthermore, the GRF analysis revealed that, compared to the conventional footwear, impact parameters were significantly lower in the heelless footwear. Conclusions: Given the reduction in impact loading rates and increases in ankle eversion that were observed in heelless footwear, running in this type of footwear may reduce the incidence of chronic injuries linked to excessive impact forces. However, it may increase the injury potential that is associated with excessive ankle eversion.

“…Markers on the medial femoral condyle and tip of the medial malleolus were removed during motion as not to restrict the movement. Definitions of joint centers were derived from the literature (Bell et al, 1989, Chaffin and Andersson, 1991, Eng and Winter, 1995, Kadaba et al, 1989.…”
