The knee joint consists of three distinct joint compartments – the medial tibiofemoral (or inside), the lateral tibiofemoral (outside) and the patellofemoral (behind the kneecap). Braces or orthoses are devices made from lightweight materials which alter the biomechanics of the lower limb and alter the alignment of a joint. Research has shown that using an appropriate knee brace can reduce pain and improve function in people with osteoarthritis. Dr Howard Hillstrom joins us on this week's episode to discuss how braces can help knee osteoarthritis.Dr Howard Hillstrom has a background as a biomedical engineer with over 26 years of experience in directing motion analysis laboratories. Howard is currently the director of the Motion Analysis Laboratory at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. Howard has a strong background in the biomechanics of human movement with special attention to the lower extremity and related pathologies, such as osteoarthritis.RESOURCES Journal articlesKnee Osteoarthritis: Primary Care Using Noninvasive Devices and Biomechanical PrinciplesEffects of a Medial Knee Unloading Implant on Tibiofemoral Joint Mechanics During WalkingDevelopment and validation of a computational model of the knee joint for the evaluation of surgical treatments for osteoarthritis.

Wearable technology and robotics are two rehabilitation methods used to help those with limited mobility regain movement. Paolo Bonato, PhD, director of the Motion Analysis Laboratory at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, discusses the role of innovative technology in rehabilitation.

During the early years there can be some obvious gait abnormalities in children. While many of these disturbances are quite common and correct themselves on their own, some require medical assistance. Families face unique challenges when it comes to treatment decisions for children with complex orthopedic conditions.The staff of the Motion Analysis Laboratory at Shriners Hospitals for Children® ­— Chicago is dedicated to providing clinicians with the data to most effectively care for each patient.The motion analysis center located inside Shriners Hospitals for Children — Chicago, provides motion analysis to children and uses the data collected to help doctors provide the most effective care for each patient using the latest technology for pediatric orthopaedic disabilities. Listen in as Gerald Harris, PhD, PE, Technical Director of the Motion Analysis Center at Shriners Hospitals for Children — Chicago discusses gait analysis research in children, specifically work related to cerebral palsy. He shares how it is helping doctors evaluate and care for current patients and how this research may improve future care for kids with cerebral palsy.

Roy Cheung, PT, PhD of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University is our guest for this Mountain Land Running Medicine Podcast. Dr. Cheung is a physical therapist and biomechanist within the Gait & Motion Analysis Laboratory. His research interests include running biomechanics, injury prevention, and gait modification strategies.

On today’s episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Andrew Vigotsky joins me to answer audience questions and translate biomechanics literature to clinical practice. Andrew is currently a Master's student in Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, concentrating on musculoskeletal biomechanics. His thesis work aims to elucidate the relationship between the shear-wave velocity of muscle, as measured using Supersonic Shear Imaging, and muscle stiffness in vivo. In this episode, Andrew answers: -What is your biggest surprise on engaging clinical practitioners with research evidence? -How much do you feel biomechanics matter when looking at injury and pain development across various exercises? -If you were building your own program to maximize muscle hypertrophy what parameters would you use? -What can we draw from EMG studies and what conclusions are fair to make? -And so many more!   The goal of biomechanics research is to ultimately translate results to the clinic and enhance how clinicians treat their patients. Andrew states, “It’s only after you find those answers that you really understand what your results mean and how your question can affect society.”   Despite the large amount of research done each year in university labs, very little reaches practioners. Andrew notes, “There is a time lag from research to practice in the medical field of about 17 years.” Andrew believes clinicians can improve this transmission rate through a greater focus on science literacy and improved dissemination of new findings.   Best evidence based practice encompasses all elements of a biopsychosocial framework. Andrew believes, “Biomechanics still matters… It’s just in what context does it matter. From the people that are purely biomechanical, the neurophysiological and the pain science stuff matters a lot and we can’t ignore that.”   For more information on Andrew: Andrew is currently a Master's student in Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, where he is concentrating on musculoskeletal biomechanics. His thesis work aims to elucidate the relationship between the shear-wave velocity of muscle, as measured using Supersonic Shear Imaging, and muscle stiffness in vivo. He is completing this work in two different labs: the Neuromuscular Biomechanics Laboratory and the Neurobionics Lab, under Drs. Sabrina Lee and Elliott Rouse, respectively. Before attending Northwestern, Andrew graduated with a BS in Kinesiology from Arizona State University (ASU). It was during those undergraduate studies that he started getting involved in research; Erin Feser supervised him in ASU's Motion Analysis Laboratory, where he carried out two data collections that resulted in three publications. The studies investigated the effects of load on good morning kinematics and EMG amplitude, the acute effects of anterior thigh foam rolling, and the validity of the modified Thomas test. In addition to Erin's mentorship, I also grew close to Dr. Rick Hinrichs, who taught me a lot about biomechanics both inside and outside of the classroom.  While at ASU, Andrew was also able to secure an internship under Dr. Bret Contreras while he was completing research for his Ph.D. Bret has had a profound impact on how he thinks about movement and sports science. Together, they have published over a dozen papers related to strength, muscle hypertrophy, and physical performance, and have much more in the pipeline. Moreover, he has introduced Andrew to other great minds and researchers, such as Chris Beardsley and Dr. Brad Schoenfeld. After graduating from ASU, Andrew completed pre-requisites for graduate school (i.e., math, physics, and engineering courses) at a local community college while splitting time between two laboratories: the Leon Root, MD Motion Analysis Laboratory, at the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), and the Human Performance Laboratory, at CUNY Lehman. At HSS, he worked under Dr. Andrew Kraszewski to develop a 3D-mesh model of the gluteus maximus. At CUNY Lehman, he worked under Dr. Brad Schoenfeld to train participants and collect data for a training study, and also designed and carried out a cross-sectional study that investigated the determinants of squat strength, which is currently in peer-review.   If you are interested in learning more about what Andrew has done or reading works that he has published, you can check out it out at ResearchGate, Google Scholar, PubMed, or my CV.   Resources discussed on this show: Andrew Vigotsky Twitter Movement Science Blog   Thanks for listening and subscribing to the podcast!

Andrew holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Arizona State University, where he also carried out biomechanics research. In addition to research at ASU, Andrew has also worked as a research assistant under Bret Contreras, Brad Schoenfeld, and in the Motion Analysis Laboratory at the Hospital for Special Surgery. He has published numerous peer-reviewed articles, in fields of neuromuscular physiology, biomechanics, and pain neurophysiology. Andrew will begin pursuing his Master of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering from Northwestern University in September 2016. Make sure to check out Andrew on Twitter where he tweets a lot about exercise and biomechanics: @avigotsky In this podcast, Andrew and I discussed foam rolling. Some of the topics we covered where: 1.The purpose of foam rolling 2.Foam rollings effect on the fascia 3.Foam rolling and performance We also talked about Andrews recent study on foam rolling.
