The Human Movement Podcast

Using the hamstrings, researchers attempt to find out how eccentric exercise affects muscles including changes in muscle length as well as it's implications for injury reduction. Research Paper

In this episode, we discuss how people with hip pain move differently during drop jump tasks. Research Paper

In this episode, we discuss a paper that attempts to use verbal cues to improve the muscle activations of individuals with FAI to reduce hip contact forces, pain and joint degradation. Research Paper

Muscle steadiness is a muscle quality measurement that is not commonly characterized or evaluated in knee pain patients. In this episode, we explore muscle steadiness and its importance to knee pain. Episode Paper

Running is a complex motor task that is important to individuals recovering from TBIs. In today’s episode, we discuss the indicators of the ability to run with insights for the non-affected population as well. Paper Discussed

Does the brain change due to knee pain? In this episode, we explore the intersection of chronic pain and the central nervous system through the lens of a few studies on fMRI's, TMS, and SRE's.

In this episode, we discuss the connection between your job and your likelihood of experiencing knee and hip pain. Check out my blog on human movement! SHOW NOTES: Paper discussed

In this episode, we discuss a paper evaluating the movement differences between individuals with and without lower back pain while doing a step down. Biomechanics Website SHOW NOTES: Differences in lumbar spine and lower extremity kinematics during a step down functional task in people with and people without low back pain

In this episode, we discuss a paper that compares the capacity for real-time biofeedback, raw video, and a mirror to help an individual modify their gait to reduce knee pain. Biomechanics and Human Motion Website SHOW NOTES: Comparison of Mirror, Raw Video, and Real-Time Visual Biofeedback for Training Toe-Out Gait in Individuals With Knee Osteoarthritis

In this episode, we discuss a paper on knee osteoarthritis and conservative treatment to improve knee range of motion as method for avoiding surgery. Biomechanics Website SHOW NOTES: Knee Osteoarthritis: Alternative Range of Motion Treatment

This is episode we discuss a research paper attempting to understand if people with low back pain have a higher or lower movement variability in sit-to-stand-to-sit movements. Movement variability has been shown in people with chronic pain and researchers are torn in the potential causes. SHOW NOTES: https://www.clinbiomech.com/article/S0268-0033(18)30452-2/fulltext

In this episode, we discuss the relationship between anterior knee pain and cycling mechanics through the lens of an informative paper that measured the knee motion of injured and pain free cyclists.

On this episode, I discuss the specifics of proper pitching mechanics and reasons why a pitcher may be more prone to injury as they fatigue or diverge from proper mechanics. Biomechanics Zone SHOW NOTES: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5435152/pdf/10.1177_1941738116686545.pdf

In today's episode, a study on forward head posture and the resulting changes in lumbopelvic rhythm are explored. Human Movement Podcast Website SHOW NOTES: https://www.ijhsr.org/IJHSR_Vol.10_Issue.9_Sep2020/11.pdf https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9122766/

In this episode, I discuss a research paper comparing the trunk movement strategies of normal-weight and obese individuals in order to describe lumbopelvic rhythm.
