Biomechanics of the knee during closed kinetic chain and open kinetic chain exercises.
TLDR
PURPOSE Although closed (CKCE) and open (OKCE) kinetic chain exercises are used in athletic training and clinical environments, few studies compared knee joint biomechanics while these exercises are performed dynamically. Expand

Osseous Adaptation and Range of Motion at the Glenohumeral Joint in Professional Baseball Pitchers *
The throwing shoulder in pitchers frequently exhibits a paradox of glenohumeral joint motion, in which excessive external rotation is present at the expense of decreased internal rotation. The object… Expand
