Fall 2016
Introduction: Expertise in motor skill develops through continued practice. Repetition of a task can lead to overall performance improving as well as an increase in the efficiency and effectiveness of a movement. Golf putting is an example of one such task that needs to be practiced in order to...

The energy requirements to produce muscle and fat in five beef composites relative to harvest age were determined. In Exp. 1, the proportion of muscle in the whole carcass decreased and fat increased with harvest age (P < 0.01). Based on energy apportioned to muscle and fat, to obtain lean beef,...

The objective of this research was to study the work performed and distribution of work across the lower extremity in various landing tasks. Ten women performed jump landing and weightlifting tasks recorded in a motion analysis laboratory. Joint angles and moments were determined, from which...

Evaluating the Biomechanics of Tooth Movement induced through Orthodontic Braces using an Integrated Clinical and Mechanical Approach
DownloadSpring 2024
Orthodontics is the dental specialization focused on correcting tooth and jaw misalignments. The treatment is known to have positive effects on the quality of life of the public by improving personal aesthetics and oral health. A common fixed treatment option is orthodontic braces, composed of...

FEM Simulation of Non-Progressive Growth from Asymmetric Loading and Vicious Cycle Theory: Scoliosis Study Proof of Concept
Download2010
Fok, Jonathan W., Carey, Jason P., Adeeb, Samer
Scoliosis affects about 1-3% of the adolescent population, with 80% of cases being idiopathic. There is currently a lack of understanding regarding the biomechanics of scoliosis, current treatment methods can be further improved with a greater understanding of scoliosis growth patterns. The...

Klassen, John S., Derda, Ratmir, Ng, Simon, Bailey, Justin, Baergen, Alyson, Liu, Lan, Jalili, Nobar
This paper reports on the first experimental study of the energies of noncovalent fluorine bonding in a protein-ligand complex in the absence of solvent. Arrhenius parameters were measured for the dissociation of gaseous deprotonated ions of complexes of bovine β-lactoglobulin (Lg), a model...

Investigation of Selective Targeting of Lumbar Spinal Structures with Spinal Manipulative Therapy
DownloadSpring 2016
Background: Low back pain is a prevalent condition commonly treated with conservative care, including spinal manipulative therapy (SMT). It is well known that forces applied by SMT are transfered to spinal tissues and that these forces inititate SMT’s benefitial (or possibly harmful) health...

Leg Dominance may not be a Predictor of Asymmetry in Peak Joint Moments and Ground Reaction Forces during Sit to Stand Movements
Download2014
Adeeb, Samer, El-Rich, Marwan, Lewicke, Justin, Carey, Jason P., Schofield, Jonathon, Parent, Eric
Sit-to-stand transfer is a common prerequisite for many daily tasks. Literature often assumes symmetric behavior across the left and right side. Although this assumption of bilateral symmetry is prominent, few studies have validated this supposition. This pilot study uniquely quantifies peak...

Dynamics in wildlife populations emerge from the interactions between individuals and their environment. Constraints between individual nutrition and food availability are therefore fundamental to understanding how species adapt to environmental variability and to identify mechanisms controlling...
