P 179 – Analysis of Dynamic Knee Motion during Lateral and Posterolateral Jump Landing in Female Badminton Players
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are caused by a non-contact mechanism in female athletes and severe injuries for athletes because of the long periods missed from sport participation. Excessive knee valgus during landing tasks is a risk factor in knee injuries [1]. Most studies have examined lower extremity biomechanics during the forward direction of a jump task. Badminton players often injure knee ligaments when they jump and land in a lateral direction (LL) or posterolateral direction (PL) on play court. (Source: Gait and Posture)

P 177 – The infraspinatus muscle activity during throwing motion in baseball player with throwing injury
The baseball player is exposed to excessive andrepetitive stresses for their shoulders of throwing side. During pitching, the infraspinatus is placed under extreme eccentric demand and is vital in dissipating excessive forces exposing them to overload [1]. These injuries result in a decline in performance and longtime absence from sport participation. Therefore, many authors have emphasized the need appropriate infraspinatus activity during throwing motion. However, infraspinatus activity during throwing in baseball player with throwing injury was unclear. (Source: Gait and Posture)

O 085 - Gait and knee function in individuals with mild to severe knee osteoarthritis – A cross-sectional study
The Gait Deviation Index for kinematics(GDI) and kinetics (GDI-kinetic) summarizes overall ‘gait quality’ into a single score from a 3-dimensional (3D) gait analysis and have been reported to identify deviant gait in patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) [1]. The Single Limb Mini Squat test (SLMS) is a reliable test of knee function in individuals with knee OA and has p reviously been shown to be moderately associated with GDI-kinetic in patients scheduled for TKA. However, it is unknown if simple performance based measures like SLMS or measurements that includes quantitative 3D gait analysis may provide...

O 092 - Does the Powers ™ strap modify lower limb biomechanics during running in individuals with patellofemoral pain?
Abnormal biomechanics, especially dynamic knee valgus, a combination of femoral adduction, femoral internal rotation, external knee rotation, tibial abduction, and ankle eversion is known to be associated with patellofemoral pain (PFP) [1 –3]. To stabilise the patellofemoral joint during leisure and sporting activities by increasing the hip external rotation and hip abduction, researchers in the USA invented the Powers™ strap.

O 053 - Femoral deformities affect gait performance more than hip muscle weakness
In children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) bony deformities, specifically increased femoral anteversion (FA) and neck shaft angle (NSA), in combination with weak hip muscles are very common [1]. Currently, the relative impact of bony deformities and muscle weakness on gait performance is unknown. (Source: Gait and Posture)

O 074 - Effect of trunk motion restriction on the muscle activities of shoulder external rotators during throwing
Trunk movement is important to transfer energy efficiently during throwing and limited trunk motion increasesreliance on the upper extremities [1]. The shoulder external rotator muscles have role of deceleration the throwing arm and ensuring stability of shoulder joint. Therefore, it is considered that trunk motion limitation lead to emphasize arm swing and increase traction stress on the shoulder external rotators. However, the relationship between trunk movement and the muscle activities of the shoulder external rotators is unclear. (Source: Gait and Posture)

O 076 - Electromyography for determination of muscle response: Effects of Parkinson disease
Nowadays muscle response constitutes one of the important topic in the field of medicine and rehabilitation. For rehabilitation purposes muscle response time can be analyzed by using electromyography. With the development of ADAS system, muscle response time can be determined as a part of driver reaction time for purposes of traffic analyzes and assessments. The aim of this work is to analyze muscle response within two investigated groups of drivers, i.e drivers suffering by Parkinson disease (PD drivers) and drivers without Parkinson disease (NON-PD drivers).

O 091 - Evaluation of pre- and postoperative gait parameters after derotation osteotomy of the tibia taking into account the intraoperative derotation value
In case of persistent tibia rotationaldeformities (TTA) with functional constraints, surgical correction by tibial rotational osteotomy (TRO) is recommended. Previous works have been shown effects of TRO on certain gait parameters for patients with TTA [1]. Different fixation techniques are applied (plate fixation, k-wire, external fixator or pedi nail). The study by Geisb üsch et.al [2] showed that the intraoperative measurement and fixation of the plate could lead to a different degree of derotation than planned. (Source: Gait and Posture)

P 027 - Feasability study of the use of silicone electrodes for EMG
This study is part of a wider projectaiming at investigating the relative motion of the residual limb and the socket, the pressure inside the socket as well as the muscle activity in a population with transfemoral amputation. During prosthesis design one of the most important aspects is the proper fit between the residual limb and the socket. This relies mainly on the experience of the prosthetist [1]. One of the requirements for prosthesis is to provide suspension that is adhesive strength of the socket to the skin [2]. (Source: Gait and Posture)

P 096 – Differences in postural stability in the elderly: Not all tests measure the same
Measurements of the center of pressure (CoP) acquired with a person positioned on a force plate is one of the most commonly used tool to investigate a balance. Several studies show a significant degradation of the body stability after the age of 60 years, however, these conclusions were based on a limited number of indicators. Also, these studies don ’t take into consideration the change in stability in very old age groups and sex of subjects.In our study, not all parameters lead to the same conclusions.
