International Journal of Women's Health, 09/01/09
Dionyssiotis Y et al. – To collect data of muscle function the authors applied the newly developed technique of mechanography (LEONARDO, Hans Schiessl, Novotec, Germany) to 176 healthy women in order to analyse the objective parameters of movement. Through mechanography the authors register ground reaction forces, which are used to calculate velocity of the centre of gravity (COG) and power over the duration of a physiological movement (jumping). This specialized technique, in contrast to other methods of measuring locomotion, provides a scientific description of movement according to the conventions of physics that is, in physical units (Newton, Watt, etc) and as a dynamic measure is more functionally relevant than isometric or dynamic isokinetic tests. The study suggests that a decline in the kinetic and kinematic parameters is expected during aging and adds reference values for jumping mechanography in women.
