Quantifying the motion of Kager's fat pad.
30 Oct 2009 
Kager's fat pad is located in Kager's triangle between the Achilles tendon, the superior cortex of the calcaneus, and flexor hallucis longus (FHL) muscle and tendon. Its biomechanical functions are not yet established, but recent studies suggest it ... Read more...
Lower limb position during treadmill jogging and fast running in microgravity.
29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: The second-generation ISS treadmill has a faster maximum operating speed than the current ISS treadmill. In normal gravity (1 G), bone loading benefits and cardiorespiratory stress are directly related to locomotion speed. A kinematic ... Read more...
30 Aug 2009 Snowboarding with a below-knee prosthesis is compromised by the limited rotation capabilities of the existing below-knee prostheses, which are designed for use in normal walking. Based on snowboarding range of motion analyses, a novel below-knee ... Read more...
