Mmp Case Study Examples

It was also observed that the mean maximum angle of flexion and extension (deg) in the hips was statistically significant and higher in the NMT condition as compared to the OG and MT condition.

In terms of ankle dorsiflexion, it was observed that the mean ankle flexion/extension maximum angle (deg) in the OG condition was statistically significantly different and greater than the NMT condition, while the mean score for the MT condition was statistically significantly different and higher than the NMT condition during the walking trials. This result did not agree with our hypothesis, and hence we accept the null hypothesis in this case. Also, our results did not indicate any significant difference in the ankle angle between OG and MT conditions

However, on comparing the kinematics that demonstrated significant differences using the descriptives, it was observed that the OG mode of locomotion while walking was rather closer to the MT, in terms of kinematics. For example, the OG and MT data appeared to be very close or similar in the following variables during walking: step length, trunk I_E, pelvis F_E, Hip F_E deg Movement Offset, Hip F_E ROM, Hip F_E deg max_angle, Knee F_E deg movement offset, Knee F_E deg Max Angle, Ankle I_E ROM, Ankle F_E deg max angle. It can also be observed that the kinematic data for the Ankle I_E ROM (18.83 deg, 18.55 deg), Ankle F_E deg max angle (15.9 deg, 15.8 deg) during the walking condition showed extreme similarity between OG and MT surfaces,

For example, the mean step lengths of the MT and NMT data were extremely similar, 5.83 cm and 5.04 cm respectively. The following kinematics showed similarity or relative closeness between the OG and MT kinematics while running: Trunk_F_E_deg_ROM, Trunk_F_E_deg_Max_Angle, Hip_F_E_deg_Movement_Offset, Hip_F_E_deg_Max_Angle, Knee_F_E_deg_Movement_Offset and Knee_F_E_deg_Min_Angle, Ankle_I_E_deg ROM. It can also be observed that the following kinematics showed extreme similarity between the OG and MT conditions: Trunk_F_E_deg_Max_Angle- 1.8 deg, 1.3 deg respectively, Hip_F_E_deg_Movement_Offset- 11.11 deg, 11.1 deg respectively, Knee_F_E_deg_Movement_Offset- 37.2 deg, 37.9 deg respectively, Knee_F_E_deg_Min_Angle- 4.53 deg, 4.2 deg. Only in the Ankle_F_E_deg_Movement_Offset it was observed that the OG and NMT kinematics were very similar: 4.59 deg, 4.96 deg
