The Effect of Sitting Posture and Postural Activity on Low Back Muscle Stiffness

Alexander R. Kett, Freddy Sichting, Thomas L. Milani · 12 Aug 2021

While it is generally recognized that prolonged sitting periods at work can harm the locomotor system, little attention has been paid to the impact of sitting behavior on muscle stiffness. This study investigated the effect of sitting posture and postural activity on lower back muscle stiffness in a controlled experiment in which participants sat at…

The Cutting Movement Assessment Score (CMAS) Qualitative Screening Tool: Application to Mitigate Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Risk during Cutting

Thomas Dos’Santos, Christopher Thomas, Alistair McBurnie et al. · 6 Apr 2021

Side-step cutting is an action associated with non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury with a plethora of negative economical, health, and psychological implications. Although ACL injury risk factors are multifactorial, biomechanical and neuromuscular deficits which contribute to “high-risk” and aberrant movement patterns are linked to ACL injury risk due to increasing knee joint loads and…

Margin of Stability May Be Larger and Less Variable during Treadmill Walking Versus Overground

Farahnaz Fallahtafti, Arash Mohammadzadeh Gonabadi, Kaeli Samson et al. · 3 May 2021

Margin of stability (MOS) is considered a measure of mechanical gait stability. Due to broad application of treadmills in gait assessment experiments, we aimed to determine if walking on a treadmill vs. overground would affect MOS during three speed-matched conditions. Eight healthy young participants walked on a treadmill and overground at Slow, Preferred, and Fast…

A Proposed Method for Evaluating Drop Jump Performance with One Force Platform

John J. McMahon, Jason P. Lake, Callum Stratford et al. · 16 Jul 2021

The drop jump (DJ) is commonly utilised to assess athletes. The criterion two force platform (2FP) method of assessing DJ performance involves two adjacent force platforms, one for the box and one for the athlete to rebound from. Most researchers and practitioners only have access to one force platform (1FP) and they rarely account for…

Biomechanics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Biomechanics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Biomechanics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Biomechanics use?
Biomechanics uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Biomechanics 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Biomechanics?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Biomechanics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Biomechanics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Biomechanics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Biomechanics?
Biomechanics - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Biomechanics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Biomechanics template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Biomechanics template cost?
You can start writing in the Biomechanics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Biomechanics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
