  2. Foam roller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_roller

    Foam rolling is a method of self-myofascial release. [3] Foam rollers have a short term positive impact in the range of motion of joints, [3] but long term performance or range of motion benefits are unknown. [4]

  3. Range of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_motion

    Range of motion (or ROM) is the linear or angular distance that a moving object may normally travel while properly attached to another. In biomechanics and strength training , ROM refers to the angular distance and direction a joint can move between the flexed position and the extended position. [ 1 ]

  4. Self-similar process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-similar_process

    In the case / < <, asymptotic self-similarity is equivalent to long-range dependence. [1] Self-similar and long-range dependent characteristics in computer networks present a fundamentally different set of problems to people doing analysis and/or design of networks, and many of the previous assumptions upon which systems have been built are no ...

  5. Study of animal locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Study_of_animal_locomotion

    Stride range of motion: the leg's integrated path between stance onset and swing offset. Joint angles: Walking can also be quantified through the analysis of joint angles. [10] [11] [12] During legged locomotion, an animal flexes and extends its joints in an oscillatory manner, creating a joint angle pattern that repeats across steps. The ...

  6. Long-range dependence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-range_dependence

    The Hurst parameter H is a measure of the extent of long-range dependence in a time series (while it has another meaning in the context of self-similar processes). H takes on values from 0 to 1. A value of 0.5 indicates the absence of long-range dependence. [8] The closer H is to 1, the greater the degree of persistence or long-range dependence.

  7. Self-motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-motion

    Self-motion can refer to: The property of motion being inherent in a particular entity, being voluntary. For example, a mouse can have self-motion, a stone cannot;

  8. Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle...

    Graphs that show (from left to right, top to bottom) weave instability, self-stability, marginal self-stability, and capsize instability in an idealized linearized model of an uncontrolled utility bicycle. Bikes, as complex mechanisms, have a variety of modes: fundamental ways that they can move. These modes can be stable or unstable, depending ...

  9. Muscle energy technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_energy_technique

    Muscle energy is a direct and active technique, meaning it engages a restrictive barrier and requires the patient's participation for maximal effect. A restrictive barrier describes the limit in range of motion that prevents the patient from reaching the baseline limit in their range of motion. [5]
