Hi Etienne,

this is not quite complete (doesn't include trunk), but maybe it could help. Please see the attachment for the file.

Hi, thanks for this article. It looks like interesting, i have found article about trunk. I still need paper which talks about the articulations angle, and muscle activation of the upper limb in running.

I'm doing something about muscle activation, but it will be ready after the summer. Unfortunately I didn't find anything else at the moment. I hope I will be able to help in the future.

No problems, thanks for this article and your attention. I will have finish the study in july, maybe for another!

Thanks

Etienne.

Thanks for theses informations!

Just a sideline: Curtze et al. Gait & Posture 33:292-296 (2011). Healthy (and amputee) walkers use sideward arm movement to help control their lateral balance. Would be nice if you could find this as well in running!

I have seen some papers in walking and the importance of balance of the arm in equilibration like that, and some of your contributions in walking and for the amputee, but just one paper about the efficient work of the upper and lower arm in running, certainly beacause it is not their first contributions!

Thanks for taking time to give me your help.

Regards.

You might want to take a look at:

JM Smoliga et al (2010). J Electromyogr Kinesiol 20(1): e1-9.

H Pontzer et al (2009). J Exp Biol 212(Pt 4): 523-534.

I'd second Richard N. Hinrich's work. I emailed him and he sent me a copy of his dissertation so I'd reach out to him.

Jeremy Mogk, thanks for these article which are very interesting for my research. Gannon White, thank you, I've seen that Hinrich's have made a lot of contributions and I'm especially interested in his contributions in "Biomechanics of distance running" written by Cavanagh et al but can't find it free to read. I find also that Hinrich is certainly one of the only authors which support the fact of active contributions of the arms in running, reason why I will take a look in his research.

Thanks a lot!

Etienne.

If you work or are associated with/at a university then request an interlibrary loan for Cavanaugh's text. I don't believe there is an electronic version. I've also seen a few copies on amazon.com.

Another article that could be of interest, from a slightly different perspective, is this one by Bramble & Lieberman (2004) in Nature:

http://trainspotting.free.fr/barefootpat/Bramble_and_Lieberman_Nature_2004.pdf

It breaks things down somewhat in terms of segmental contributions to running, but placed within the context of evolution. Table 1 in the article provides a nice summary of some functional considerations.
