Hi all, Do you know of any free software that can measure angles on an image? I teach an introductory biomechanics course. The students record different motions and extract still frames from them. I would like them to be able to measure different angles, e.g., knee flexion, by clicking three points on the image. I can't find any free software to do this. Also - I need to find a solution that works for both Windows and Apple products (ideally also for android). Do you know of any programs? submitted by /u/Absjalon [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello there. I have a structural LLD of 1 cm with my left leg being the shorter one. I (18M) want to know if it is better to let my body compensate for the LLD or to put in lifters/heel lift/etc. to compensate for me when doing workouts or day to day activities. I am very active but in my chosen athletic pursuit there is no way of artificially equalizing my legs because I am barefoot all the time. The reason I want to know which option is better is because I worry about messing with the way my muscle would be built by lifting with lifters on and then doing things barefoot. Also is there room ..read more

Lifelong, 35-year runner here. Regular weight trainer, nothing crazy. I’ve recently noticed that my right leg circumducts when running at a easy-moderate effort. What imbalances or other issues are most likely behind this? I don’t shuffle. Hip flexors don’t appear weak or noticeably imbalanced. It sure seems like allowing this to continue is an invitation to injury. TIA; I muchbappreciate your thoughts. submitted by /u/runswith3dogs [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

The last post wouldn’t let me update with another video for the ones who suggested I need a video from the back. previous post Hey everybody. I’m a PTA student doing a paper on gait analysis of one of my classmates. Looking for a little advice here. She’s a 20 year old well conditioned female that regularly goes to the gym and used to play high school sports. She’s had a right lateral ankle sprain twice and stands in calcaneal eversion. She’s observed to not have a normal 60 degrees of knee flexion during midswing phase which causes her to have not much foot clearance and also has excessi ..read more

Hello all, I am thinking about pursuing a PhD in Biomechanics and need some help. A little bit about me: I graduated undergrad with a B.S. in Psychology and a minor in Kinesiology, I discovered quickly that I am much more interested in Kinesiology and Biomechanics, so I applied to, and got accepted into a decently competitive M.S. in Exercise Science program, where I am now. In this program we are free to "specialize" in any area of Exercise Science we want, and I ended up choosing Biomechanics. I have become very familiar and skilled in programs such as: Qualisys, V3D, MatLab, and R. I have ..read more
