Comparison of muscle activity of the lower limbs while running on different treadmill models.

Treadmill running is a common method of exercise and to study human locomotion. Research has examined the kinematics and kinetics of overground and treadmill running, but there has been less focus on the levels of muscle activity during treadmill running. We investigated if muscle activity is different while running overground compared to running on a variety of treadmills.

[Predictors of the Use of Different Occupational Rehabilitation Measures: A Comparison of Integration Measures, Partial Qualifications and Full Training].

Purpose: Occupational rehabilitation is an essential part of supporting return to work by the statutory pension insurance institutes. It is useful if health-related restrictions threaten the ability to work. There are various forms of occupational rehabilitation which differ considerably in terms of content, structure, duration, intensity of care and costs.

Application of functional data analysis to explore movements: walking, running and jumping - A systematic review.

Background Signals are continuously captured during the recording of motion data. Statistical analysis, however, usually uses only a few aspects of the recorded data. Functional data analysis offers the possibility to analyze the entire signal over time.

Force measurements during running on different instrumented treadmills.

One method to determine the forces produced during running is to conduct extensive kinematic and kinetic analysis. These analyses can be performed by having an individual perform repeated over-ground running trials or simply run continuously on an instrumented treadmill. The forces produced during over-ground running may not be the same as the forces during treadmill running and these differences could be attributed to a number of factors, including the design of the instrumented treadmill.
