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).
Tendinitis is an inflammation or irritation of a tendon or the covering of a tendon (called a sheath). It is caused by a series of small stresses that repeatedly aggravate the tendon. Symptoms typically include swelling and pain that worsens with activity.
