Shoulder kinematics is not influenced by external load during elevation in the ...
Castro, Marcelo PeduzziThe current study aimed to compare the shoulder kinematics (3D scapular orientation, scapular angular displacement and scapulohumeral rhythm) of asymptomatic participants under unloaded and loaded conditions during unilateral shoulder elevation in the scapular plane. We used a repeated-measures design with a convenience sample. Eleven male participants with an age range of 21–28 years with no recent history of ...
In-shoe plantar pressures and ground reaction forces during overweight adults' ...
Castro, Marcelo Peduzzi; Abreu, Sofia; Sousa, Helena; Machado, Leandro; Santos, Rubim; Vilas Boas, JoãoPurpose: Because walking is highly recommended for prevention and treatment of obesity and some of its biomechanical aspects are not clearly understood for overweight people, we compared the absolute and normalized ground reaction forces (GRF), plantar pressures, and temporal parameters of normal-weight and overweight participants during overground walking. Method: A force plate and an in-shoe pressure system w...
Ground reaction forces and plantar pressure distribution during occasional load...
Castro, Marcelo Peduzzi; Abreu, Sofia; Sousa, Helena; Machado, Leandro; Santos, Rubim; Vilas Boas, JoãoThis study compared the ground reaction forces (GRF) and plantar pressures between unloaded and occasional loaded gait. The GRF and plantar pressures of 60 participants were recorded during unloaded gait and occasional loaded gait (wearing a backpack that raised their body mass index to 30); this load criterion was adopted because is considered potentially harmful in permanent loaded gait (obese people). The re...
Force and pressure analysis during occasional loaded gait
Castro, Marcelo Peduzzi; Santos, Rubim; Abreu, Sofia; Sousa, Helena; Machado, Leandro; Vilas Boas, JoãoO documento em anexo encontra-se na versão pre-print (versão inicial enviada para o editor).; The aim of this study was to compare the ground reaction forces and plantar pressure parameters between unloaded and occasional loaded gait. The ground reaction forces and plantar pressure of 60 participants were recorded during unloaded and occasional loaded gait (wearing a backpack which raises the participant´s body...
The influence of differente speeds on backpacker's gait kinectics
Castro, Marcelo Peduzzi; Abreu, Sofia; Sousa, Helena; Figueiredo, Cristina; Machado, Leandro; Santos, Rubim; Vilas Boas, JoãoThis study analyzed the influence of different speeds on ground reaction force’s (GRF), impulses and mean vertical force during gait of people submitted to occasional overload (backpack). A force plate was used to record the GRF data of 60 young adult subjects walking in two different cadences: 69 steps/min (slow gait) and 120 steps/min (fast gait). During the slow gait, the impact and propulsive impulses of ve...
Caracterização cinética e cinemática da marcha de indivíduos adultos obesos
Sousa, Helena; Santos, Rubim; Vilas Boas, João; Vaz, M.; Abreu, Sofia; Castro, Marcelo PeduzziO presente estudo apresenta a caracterização cinemática e cinética da marcha de indivíduos obesos. Envolveu instrumentos como Pedar-Novel, para recolha de dados da pressão plantar; Plataforma Bertec 4060-10, para dados de Força de Reacção ao Solo (FRS), Câmaras digitais Sony, 50Hz para ângulos do pé; IPAQ para dados de actividade física. Foram seleccionados individuos com IMC≥30Kg/m2, para o grupo experimental ...
