Background: Although it is assumed that the presence of patellofemoral pain (PFP) may result in compensatory behaviors that can alter trunk kinematics and lower limb mechanics, the influence of the exacerbation of ...

People who have suffered stroke often have difficulty during walking. One of the reasons is hemiplegia, which is the main motor impairment caused by stroke. Hemiplegia generates asymmeries in limb control that often can ...

Background: Increased external knee abduction moment has been proposed as a risk factor for patellofemoral pain. This alteration is thought to be associated with elevated patellofemoral joint reaction force and stress, ...

This paper presents a numerical study on the seismic performance of end-plate moment connection between I-beam to HSS (hollow structural section) column stiffened by outer diaphragms (EP-HSS). In previous experimental ...

Brittle failure mechanisms can affect the seismic performance of structures composed of intersecting moment resisting frames, if the biaxial effects are not considered. In this research, the bidirectional cyclic response ...

The obesity is a dysfunction that is increasingly concerned with its indexes in Brazil and in the world. Population research has registered an alarming increase in the incidence of obesity in Brazil, some surveys indicate ...

The study of Zero-moment point (ZMP) in ROBOCLIMBER (quadruped walking and climbing robot) was realized and calculated in real time during statically postural and dynamically balanced gait. Force sensor with strain gages ...
