A review of models of vertical, leg, and knee stiffness in adults for running, jumping or hopping tasks

BG Serpell, NB Ball, JM Scarvell… - Journal of sports …, 2012 - Taylor & Francis
The 'stiffness' concept originates from Hooke's law which states that the force required to
deform an object is related to a spring constant and the distance that object is deformed …

Leg stiffness in human running: Comparison of estimates derived from previously published models to direct kinematic–kinetic measures

DR Coleman, D Cannavan, S Horne… - Journal of biomechanics, 2012 - Elsevier
It is not presently clear whether mathematical models used to estimate leg stiffness during
human running are valid. Therefore, leg stiffness during the braking phase of ground contact …

Leg stiffness of sprinters using running-specific prostheses

CP McGowan, AM Grabowski… - Journal of the …, 2012 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Running-specific prostheses (RSF) are designed to replicate the spring-like nature of
biological legs (bioL) during running. However, it is not clear how these devices affect whole …
