Stride Width Discriminates Gait of Side-Fallers Compared to Other-Directed Fallers During Overground Walking
This study suggests that side-fallers, who have narrower stride widths compared to those who fall in other directions, may not be adapting their gait to compensate for lateral instability. More research is needed to determine whether narrow gait contributes to unstable walking patterns
Structural changes in the femur with the transition to agriculture on the Georgia coast
Structural characteristics of the femur are compared in preagricultural (2200 B.C.–A.D. 1150) and agricultural (A.D. 1150–1550) subsistence strategy groups from the Georgia coast. Using an automated technique, cross‐sectional geometric properties used in structural analyses (areas, second moments of area) were determined at midshaft and distal to the lesser trochanter in 20 adults from each group. A significant decline in magnitude of almost ever…
Cross‐sectional geometry of Pecos Pueblo femora and tibiae—A biomechanical investigation: I. Method and general patterns of variation
Variation in long bone cross‐sectional geometry can be given a more precise functional interpretation using engineering beam theory. However, difficulties in measurement technique have generally prevented studies of large samples of cross sections in this way. In the present study, an automated system utilizing an electronic digitizer and computer software was used to analyze cross‐sectional geometric properties of 11 femoral and tibial locations…
Cross‐sectional geometry of Pecos Pueblo femora and tibiae—A biomechanical investigation: II. Sex, age, and side differences
Intra‐populational variation in cross‐sectional geometric properties of the femur and tibia are investigated in the Pecos Pueblo skeletal sample. Sex differences in geometric parameters suggest that male lower limb bones are more adapted for A‐P bending, females for M‐L bending. Proposed explanations for this finding include sexual dimorphism in pelvic structure and culturally prescribed sex‐related activities at Pecos. With aging, both males and…
The effect of prolonged physical training on the properties of long bone: A study of Wolffʼs Law.
Five one-year-old immature swine were subjected to twelve months of exercise training. Four matched swine with no training served as controls. After they were killed, four-millimeter-wide strips of bone taken from the anterior, medial, posterior, and lateral quadrants of the central femoral diaphysis were subjected to four-point bending tests to failure. It was found that although exercise did not change the mechanical properties of the cortical …
