Background: The spring-mass model is commonly used to investigate the mechanical characteristics
of human running. Underlying this model is the assumption of a linear force-length relationship,
during the stance phase of running, and the idea that... Read More about Using the spring-mass model for running : force-length curves and foot-strike patterns.

Higher knee contact forces might underlie increased osteoarthritis rates in high functioning amputees : a pilot study (2020)
Journal Article
Ding, Z., Jarvis, H., Bennett, A., Baker, R., & Bull, A. (2021). Higher knee contact forces might underlie increased osteoarthritis rates in high functioning amputees : a pilot study. Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 39(4), 850-860. https://doi.org/10.1002/jor.24751

High functioning military transtibial amputees (TTAs)with well‐fitted state of the art prosthetics have gait that is indistinguishable from healthy individuals, yet they are more likely to develop knee osteoarthritis (OA)of their intact limbs. This c... Read More about Higher knee contact forces might underlie increased osteoarthritis rates in high functioning amputees : a pilot study.
