The jump height may alsobe calculated by applying the workâenergy theorem to theforceâdisplacement curve, again using numerical integration.II. FORCE PLATFORMForce platforms have a wide range of applications, includ-ing automobile crash tests, clinical gait analysis, and sportstechnique analysis.
However, severe forces or repetitive force over time can cause tiny microtears in tendon tissue, leading to injury. Tendinitis is inflammation (redness, swelling, heat, soreness) that occurs when the body's immune system detects an injury and responds. In the case of tendinitis (also spelled âtendonitisâ), the body increases the flow of blood and infection-fighting substances to the injured tendon. Tendinosis is a degenerative injury to the tendon that doesn't provoke an immune response. It occurs when repetitive, unrelenting stress over time causes the breakdown of collagen, growth of abnormal blood vessels, and thickening of the tendon's sheath (covering).
Scar tissue. Adhesion. Fibrosis. The words are different, but the concepts are the same. This dense, fibrous tissue affects us all and is an underlying factor in many injuries. Scar tissue binds up and ties down tissues that need to move freely. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter and weaker. Tension on tendons causes tendinosis.
