Assignment – Select a Topic
This assignment will help you prepare for the motion-analysis-presentation portion of your group
project. With your group, decide on a movement to analyze. This may be related to a group member’s literature review or something different all together. What is it about that movement that you can biomechanically analyze? Are there different ways to complete the movement? Can you create an altered variation to see how that changes biomechanics of your movement? Your group will need to decide on this together. Here are things to consider:
You should be able to create videos of your skill and perform an intervention or alternative movement to make a comparison with.
Topics that are of interest to you will increase the likelihood that you will create a high-
quality final presentation
Examples of previous projects include: Topic: The effect of a hip wrap on a dance leap
Measurements: Range of motion before and after applying a hip wrap to one leg of the dancer
Topic: The effect of footwear on walking
Measurement: Step length, ankle angle, knee angle, hip angle, walking speed, ground reaction force differences when walking in high heels vs flat shoes vs sneakers
Topic: Which results in a higher jump – a one foot or two foot take off?
Measurement: Jump height, ground reaction forces
Topic: Comparison of mechanics of different types of baseball throws
Measurement: Distance, range of motion, speed
Topic: Knee valgus angle changes from jumping different vertical heights Measurement: Jump height, knee valgus angle
You will submit your idea via a word document on Canvas using the template below. If you do not answer all the questions, points will be taken off.
1.
Your name and your group members names.
-
Maggie Moser, Ashlyn Hobbs, Dallin Cravens, Romy Thomas, Cayden Hart 2.
Your research topic. The examples above give you an idea of what this should look like.
-
Topic: -
Idea #1: The landing mechanics between Males vs Females
-
Measurement: Jump height, Knee Valgus angle, ankle angle, Q angle for the hip, and landing mechanics
-
Idea #2: The mechanics of a basketball jump shot
-
Measurement: Jump height, knee varus and valgus angle, trunk flexion/extension angle, distance of jump shot

3.
When did you schedule your group meeting with me (Brother Denning)? If you have
not scheduled a group meeting, please view the following video (

)
which provides instructions on how you are to schedule a meeting. All group members should be free at this time. Meeting with me prior to data collection is a must. -
We will be meeting with Brother Denning on Wednesday February 21
st
at 3:00pm.
4.
Thoroughly answer the following questions:
What is the purpose of your analysis? What question are you wanting to answer? (Your literature review should help in deciding this based on background information on your topic, the importance of the topic, possible applications in the field of biomechanics).
Idea #1: What angles in lower extremities prevent injury prone stances (valgus collapse)?
Idea #2: What angles of the lower extremities provide the most advantageous
jump shot in terms of speed/strength?
What is your hypothesis?
Idea #1: That the landing mechanics such as the stance can prevent valgus collapse in both males and females.
Idea #2: That higher angles in the lower extremities before shooting will increase the speed/strength of the ball when it is released.
What are the dependent and independent variables?
Idea #1:
Independent: Angles of lower extremities
Dependent: Males and Females, stance adjustments
Idea #2:
Independent: Angles of lower extremities
Dependent: Speed/strength of the basketball shot
How are you going to collect data? (i.e. equipment needed, duration of visits, and detailed protocol/methods)
Idea #1: box jump, camera, and markers to put on bony landmarks such as: midline of thigh, patella, stance adjustments such as widening/tightening.
Idea #2: A basketball, a camera, markers to put on different bony landmarks
for measuring.
How are you going to analyze the data gathered?
-
For both ideas we will be using kinovea and excel to analyze the data we have gathered.
Come prepared to give detailed answers to these questions when you meet with me.
