Barbara Pobatschnig left our research group by end of July. She will focus her research in a project at the Gait Laboratory of the Orthopedic Hosipal Speising which aims at improving the function of lower arm prostheses. We would like to thank Barbara for her great contribution to our project and wish her all the […]
Great news! Our submitted abstract “Intra-tester reliability of three-dimensional kinematics in obese children and adolescents” has been accepted for the 25th annual meeting of the European scientific society for clinical gait and movement analysis (ESMAC), Spain, Sevilla, 29 September – 1 October 2016 (http://esmac2016.com/). The oral presentation will be on Friday 30th September at the […]
Sadly but true David Artner left our research group with the end of march. He will now support the Research & Development Department of Adidas with his biomechanical knowledge and technical skills. The Children’s Knees research group wishes David all the best for his upcoming and very interesting challenges in research and development. Good news […]
Great News. With 14/03/16 we started to capture data for assessing the intra-rater reliability of our 3DGA assessor. In total 10 participants are planned for this study, who will be assessed on two different days by the same assessor (B. Pobatschnig). When you have a good plan, you will be able to measure your goals […]
On the 2nd of March the project partners of the Children’s Knees Study met at the Medical University of Vienna to discuss the project progress as well as future prospects. The project team also welcomed the Interim Deputy Head of the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Ao. Univ. Prof. Dr. Richard Crevenna and […]
The Trial Protocol of the Children’s Knees study was published in the Open Access Journal Trials of BMC on December 23. The full paper entitled “The effects of a strength and neuromuscular exercise programme for the lower extremity on knee load, pain and function in obese children and adolescents: study protocol for a randomised controlled […]
On the 5th October the project partners of the Children’s Knees Study met at the Institute of Sport Science of the University of Vienna to discuss the project progress and future prospects. The planning and refinement stage of the project has finished and first baseline measurements were performed, as well as the training programm was […]
David Artner presented the Children’s Knees Study at the 22. Sportwissenschaftlicher Hochschultag of the German Society of Sport Sciences in Mainz. In the course of the working group ‘Movement, Walking & Running’, the trial protocol with focus on the biomechanical aspects of the project was introduced to the audience. All of the resources dissertation helps […]
The Children’s Knees trial design was registered in the trial registry database of Clinical Trials under the registration number NCT02545764. The study can be found on clinicaltrials.gov. Twice every year, on the start of a new school year and on the first week of a new year, I revisit the archive and repurpose those materials […]
Dr. Brian Horsak and David Artner MSc participated on the Biomechanics Summer Course 2015 from 21. to 24. July organized by the Institute of Orthopaedic Research and Biomechanics at the University of Ulm. The course consisted of 8 theoretical lectures and 12 practical laboratory exercises. The participants gained experience in all basic fields of biomechanics […]
