Sentences with phrase «vertical tibia»

To address this, researchers recently studied the relationship between foot angle (angle formed between the ground and foot on initial contact with the ground) & tibial angle (angle of the tibia from perpendicular landing) with vertical average load rate as well as vertical instantaneous load rates.

Also, Biscarini et al. (2011) found that in a model of Smith machine squats, inclining the trunk closer to the horizontal, moving the tibia closer to the vertical, and placing more weight upon the fore - foot all led to an increase in the hip extension moment and a corresponding reduction in the knee extension moment.
