Presentation Transcript

  1. Biomechanics: An Introduction Songning Zhang, Ph.D. Biomechanics/Sports Medicine Lab The University of Tennessee, USA

  2. Selected Topic Areas • Movement Analysis • Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation • Industrial Applications • Entertainment Applications

  3. Movement Analysis/ • Sports performance • Enhancement • Skill improvement • Other applications • Footwear biomechanics • Gait analysis

  4. Movement Analysis

  5. Movement Analysis Video Video

  6. Footwear Biomechanics • In 1960s, running – most popular sport • Injuries: common in runners • Running footwear • Popular research topics since 1970s

  7. Shoe Structures

  8. Material Testing • Force platform • Coefficient of friction • Shoes on diff. surfaces • Where • Fz – vertical force • Fy – A/P force

  9. Footwear Biomechanics • Mechanical factors • Thickness of shoe soles • Wear • Midsole mechanical properties • Other design issues • Heel counter • Flare • Studies in footwear • Material testing • Lab biomechanical subject testing

  10. Footwear Biomechanics • Comfort and cushion: most important factors for footwear in sport activities (Nigg 1999) • Plantar pressure shown to be a good indicator of comfort (Chen & Nigg 1994) • Lack of plantar sensory input may provoke injuries, even in a well-cushioned shoe (Robbins 1991)

  11. Rationale • Perception of footwear: an important factor in selection of athletic footwear • Material testing • 500 miles running: 70% of impact absorption (Cook et al. 1985) • Tanaka et al. (2001) • A good correlation between footwear wear (outsole) and sensory evaluation

  12. Footwear Biomechanics • Lab testing • High-speed video/film • Force platform • And/or accelerometers • Plantar pressure measuring system • More often used

  13. Example

  14. Gait Analysis • Normal and pathological patterns • Return to normal gait patterns • One of the most basic but common tasks in rehabilitation/physical medicine • One of most studied areas

  15. Gait Biomechanics Video

  16. Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation • Sports and physical activities: very popular • Sports-related injuries very common • Orthopedics • Orthotics and Prosthetics • Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation

  17. Orthotists and Prosthetists

  18. Applications • In our lab - • Costo 1999: effects of ankle braces on walking biomechanics • Two types braces • Rodenback 2002: effectiveness of patellotendon brace and taping in landing biomechanics

  19. Other Applications • Knee braces • ACL injuries prevention • ACL injuries preventions (Devita 1992 & 1996)

  20. Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (CD/Video)

  21. ACL Injuries and Reconstruction • Knee Joint Complex • Patellofemoral Joint • Tibiofemoral Joint • Tibiofibular Joint • Ligamentous Support • Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) • PCL, MCL & LCL

  22. ACL Functions • Resist anterior tibia translation • Resist medial/lateral rotation of tibia

  23. ACL Injury Survey • Basketball (Gray et al. 1985) • Female: ACL - 25% • Male: ACL - 3% • Volleyball (Ferretti et al. 1990) • 1978 to 1988, 40 cases • Female: 80% • 55% in competition

  24. ACL Injury Survey • 1990-93 NCAA (Hutchinson et al. 1995) • female greater rate of injury per 1000 exposures • gymnastics • 0.52 (F) Vs 0.17 (M) • soccer • 0.31 (F) Vs 0.13 (M) • basketball • 0.23 (F) Vs 0.06 (M)

  25. ACL Injury Survey • 1989-93 NCAA (Arendt & Dick 1995) • Rate of injury per 1000 exposures • Soccer • ACL: 0.31 (F) Vs 0.13 (M) • Basketball • ACL: 0.29 (F) Vs 0.07 (M)

  26. ACL Reconstructions

  27. ACL Reconstructions

  28. ACL Injury Mechanisms • Direct Contact • Anterior Tibial Translation • Posterior Femoral Translation • Rotational stress • Non-Contact • Deceleration and change of direction • Landing from a jump • Pivoting/twisting • Straight leg landing

  29. Industrial Applications Video Automobile Robotic Control

  30. Industrial Applications Vibration Analysis Ergonomics Process Control

  31. Entertainment Applications • Films • Television • Computer and video games

  32. Animation Facial Caption
