Understanding Anterior Cruciate Ligament Adaptation: Structural, Mechanical, and Healing Considerations

Oskar K. Staniucha, Samantha M. Birse, Daniel E. Ferris, B.A. Morris et autres

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is both a passive stabiliser and an active mechanoresponsive tissue. Emerging evidence demonstrates that its morphology, material properties, and microstructure adapt to the mechanical milieu imposed by habitual activity, targeted exercise, and surrounding musculature. This narrative review …

Associations between upper trunk rotation kinematics, shoulder and elbow joint kinetics and pitching performance in Australian baseball pitchers

Koya Mine, Mark Alan Jones, Steve Saunders, Ben Onofrio et autres

Early upper trunk rotation has been associated with higher arm kinetics in American baseball pitchers. However, it has not been investigated in Australian pitchers. The purposes of this study were: (1) to investigate the reliability of 3D optoelectronic measurements of pitching mechanics; …

AlphaPIG: The Nicest Way to Prolong Interactive Gestures in Extended Reality

Yi Li, Florian Fischer, Tim Dwyer, Barrett M. Ens et autres

Mid-air gestures serve as a common interaction modality across Extended Reality (XR) applications, enhancing engagement and ownership through intuitive body movements. However, prolonged arm movements induce shoulder fatigue—known as "Gorilla Arm Syndrome"—degrading user experience and reducing interaction duration. Although existing ergonomic techniques …

A comparison between novice and elite cyclists movement stability during cycling

L. Winter, PAUL N. GRIMSHAW, Clint Ronald Bellenger, Robert G. Crowther

The Lyapunov Exponent (LyE) is a non-linear technique that analyses stability, which refers to the capacity of systems to mitigate environmental perturbations. Whether elite athletes have an optimised movement stability is contentious. There has been limited research exploring the differences in movement …

Contagious Crying Revisited: A Cross‐Cultural Investigation Into Infant Emotion Contagion Using Infrared Thermal Imaging

Carlo Vreden, Elizabeth Renner, Herbert Ainamani, Robert G. Crowther et autres

Contagious crying in infants has been considered an early marker of their sensitivity to others' emotions, a form of emotional contagion, and an early basis for empathy. However, it remains unclear whether infant distress in response to peer distress is due to …

Relationships between upper trunk rotation kinematics and arm fatigue after repetitive pitching among baseball pitchers

Koya Mine, Mark Alan Jones, Steve Saunders, Ben Onofrio et autres

Early upper trunk rotation during baseball pitching has been associated with higher upper-limb kinetics. However, its relationship with arm fatigue after repetitive pitching is unclear. This study aimed to investigate associations between upper trunk rotation kinematics and arm fatigue. A total of …

Lower limb gait joint coordination variability in people with diabetes-related foot ulcers

Robert G. Crowther, Aaron Robertson, Malindu E. Fernando, Peter Anthony Lazzarini et autres

BACKGROUND: Diabetes-related foot ulcers pose substantial health risks globally, yet the biomechanical intricacies underlying their development remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to evaluate lower limb gait joint coordination variability in individuals with diabetes-related foot ulcers compared to those with diabetes (without …
