A walk (or cycle) to the park: active transit to neighborhood amenities, the CARDIA study.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Building on known associations between active commuting and reduced cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, this study examines active transit to neighborhood amenities and differences between walking and cycling for transportation. METHODS: ... Read more...

Design and development of a new right arm prosthetic kit for a racing cyclist.

30 Aug 2009 This case report describes a newly developed prosthetic arm for a world class trans-humeral amputee cyclist. The proposed solution consists of a new prosthetic kit that was designed to meet requirements of weight, freedom of movement and precise ... Read more...

The biomechanics of cycling with a transtibial amputation: Recommendations for prosthetic design and direction for future research.

30 Aug 2009 People with amputations may find cycling advantageous for exercise, transportation and rehabilitation. The reciprocal nature of stationary cycling also makes it a viable model for research in motor control because the body is supported by the saddle ... Read more...
