The gross mechanical efficiency of the manual wheelchair propulsion movement is particularly low compared to other movements. The energy losses in the manual wheelchair propulsion movement are partly due to energy losses associated with the wheelchair, and especially to the rolling resistance of the wheels. The distribution of mass between the front rear wheels and the caster wheels has a significant impact on the rolling resistance.

Wheelchair fencing is an opposition sport on a specific wheelchair, with a fixed distance between the two athletes. As for other Paralympic sports, different categories exist for the different pathologies of the athletes. Searching for biomechanical performance criteria is of primary interest for coaches, recruiters and trainers.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate how different selections of angular velocity components affect the timing and sequence of movements in a golf swing, which is important for maximizing club head speed.
  • Thirteen golfers were tested using various methods to analyze their swings in a motion capture lab, revealing that each method produced distinct kinematic sequences for the same golfer.
  • While one method showed the highest correlation to performance, none could be deemed a definitive standard for identifying golf swing mechanics, suggesting that future research should focus on simulation studies for better insights.

Aim: To evaluate the penetration of Candida albicans alone and a combination of bacteria through root canals filled with gutta-percha and one or other root canal sealers, AH26 and AH Plus.

Methodology: Eighty teeth were randomly divided into two groups of 40 teeth each and obturated with gutta-percha using either AH26 or AH Plus sealer. A further 10 teeth served as negative controls and 10 as positive controls.
