THE EFFECT OF ROAD CAMBER ON RUNNING KINEMATICS
Camber, or the crown of roads used for drainage purposes, has been implicated as a cause of overuse injuries, including iliotibial band syndrome, in runners. The purpose of this investigation was to study the effects of varying degrees of simulated road camber and different running velocities on lower extremity kinematics. Using three-dimensional motion analysis, bilateral hip, knee, and ankle angles of 5 injury-free recreational runners were investigated. Subjects were videotaped while running on level and variable cambered surfaces at 6.0 and 7.0 mph. Post-hoc analysis found significant differences between right and left limbs between the right knee at toe off condition 1, 7.0 mph compared to right knee at toe off condition 2, 7.0 mph (
LOADED BACKPACK POSITIONS AFFECTS TRUNK POSITION DURING WALKING
The effects of backpack loading on lower extremity function was examined. Ten subjects were prepared with a 20 3D-reflective marker set, videotaped by a 4-camera setup, on a level treadmill in four conditions: without backpack (WO), one-strap on right shoulder (1SR), two-strap on back (2SB), and two strap on front (2SF). The videotape was digitized. Significant differences (
An infantâled approach to complementary feeding is positively associated with language development
The timing and strategy with which parents first introduce their infants to solid foods may be an important predictor of subsequent developmental outcomes. Recent years have seen a decline in the prevalence of traditional parentâled feeding of soft, purĂ©ed food and a rise in the prevalence of infantâled complementary feeding. Although there has been some research espousing the benefits of infantâled complementary feeding for improving food fussiness and selfâregulation, there has been little exploration of this approach that may impact on other developmental outcomes in children. The current study explores whether aspects of the infantâled approach, specifically the child eating unaided and consuming finger foods and eating with the family, are related to child language outcomes. One hundred thirty one parents of children aged 8â24 months completed questionnaires about their approach to complementary feeding, their current feeding practices, their child's experiences with family foods and child language comprehension/production. The findings suggest that an approach to complementary feeding which promotes infant autonomy in feeding (i.e., eating finger foods rather than purĂ©ed foods) and consuming more family foods is related to more advanced child language production and comprehension. Specifically, the prevalence of eating family foods mediated the relationship between eating unaided at the onset of the complementary feeding period and later language outcomes. This study is the first to find a significant relationship between different approaches to introducing solid foods and child language outcomes and these findings highlight the potential for different complementary feeding approaches to influence behaviour beyond mealtimes
