Marche à piedLa marche est un mode de locomotion naturel chez l'homme. Elle consiste en un déplacement en appui alternatif sur les pieds, en position debout et en ayant toujours au moins un point d'appui en contact avec le sol, sinon il s'agit de course. C'est un des principaux modes de déplacement, qui fait partie des modes dits « fatigants », « doux » ou « actifs », comme des moyens de transport tels que la bicyclette, la trottinette ou le patinage à roulettes, par opposition aux modes de transport motorisés parfois dits « passifs ».
GenouLe genou est le segment du membre inférieur situé entre la cuisse et la jambe. Il enferme l'articulation du genou. Sa partie antérieure est occupée par la patella palpable sous la peau. Sa partie postérieure correspond à la fosse poplitée. Le genou a pour limite supérieure la ligne circulaire qui passe à deux travers de doigt au dessus de la patella. Sa limite inférieure est la ligne circulaire passant par l'extrémité inférieure de la tubérosité du tibia.
Human legThe human leg is the entire lower limb of the human body, including the foot, thigh or sometimes even the hip or buttock region. The major bones of the leg are the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and adjacent fibula. The thigh is between the hip and knee, while the calf (rear) and shin (front) are between the knee and foot. Legs are used for standing, many forms of human movement, recreation such as dancing, and constitute a significant portion of a person's mass.
FouléeLa foulée désigne l'enjambée lors de la course à pied. La première phase est un appui au sol de l'un des pieds Elle débute par la réception, généralement sur le talon, en avant du centre de gravité du coureur ; la réception amortit le choc entre le pied et le sol, l'amorti est en partie produit par la flexion du genou à laquelle s'oppose le quadriceps en contraction excentrique.
Prothèse du genouthumb|Modèle de prothèse du genou Une prothèse du genou est un implant articulaire interne qui remplace les surfaces articulaires défaillantes du genou, dans le but de permettre de nouveau un appui stable, la flexion et l'extension, et de récupérer un bon périmètre de marche. La prothèse de genou (PG ou PTG) est l'une des opérations les plus communément pratiquées : environ de genou sont posées chaque année en France, Outremer compris. En 2008, aux États-Unis, de genou ont été implantées, chiffre traduisant un taux d'accroissement annuel de 10 % au cours de la décennie 1990.
Knee painKnee pain is pain in or around the knee. The knee joint consists of an articulation between four bones: the femur, tibia, fibula and patella. There are four compartments to the knee. These are the medial and lateral tibiofemoral compartments, the patellofemoral compartment and the superior tibiofibular joint. The components of each of these compartments can experience repetitive strain, injury or disease. Running long distance can cause pain to the knee joint, as it is a high-impact exercise.
Nintendo 64 controllerThe Nintendo 64 controller (model number: NUS-005) is the standard game controller for the Nintendo 64 home video game console. Manufactured and released by Nintendo on June 23, 1996, in Japan, in September 29, 1996 in North America, and March 1, 1997 in Europe, it is the successor to the Super Nintendo controller and is designed in an "M" shape and features 10 buttons, one analog "Control Stick" and a directional pad. The controller was designed by Nintendo R&D3, under direction to try new ideas that would break from typical game controllers.
HipIn vertebrate anatomy, hip (or coxa in medical terminology; : coxae) refers to either an anatomical region or a joint. The hip region is located lateral and anterior to the gluteal region, inferior to the iliac crest, and overlying the greater trochanter of the femur, or "thigh bone". In adults, three of the bones of the pelvis have fused into the hip bone or acetabulum which forms part of the hip region. The hip joint, scientifically referred to as the acetabulofemoral joint (art.
List of flexors of the human bodyA flexor is a muscle that flexes a joint. In anatomy, flexion (from the Latin verb flectere, to bend) is a joint movement that decreases the angle between the bones that converge at the joint. For example, one's elbow joint flexes when one brings their hand closer to the shoulder. Flexion is typically instigated by muscle contraction of a flexor.
Wearable computerA wearable computer, also known as a body-borne computer, is a computing device worn on the body. The definition of 'wearable computer' may be narrow or broad, extending to smartphones or even ordinary wristwatches. Wearables may be for general use, in which case they are just a particularly small example of mobile computing. Alternatively, they may be for specialized purposes such as fitness trackers. They may incorporate special sensors such as accelerometers, heart rate monitors, or on the more advanced side, electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) monitors.
