The magnitude of loading artistic gymnasts experience during training is currently unknown. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) could assess loading, although the reliability of these devices must be established prior to implementation into the training environment. This study aimed to determine inter-trial reliability of using IMeasureU Blue Thunder IMUs to assess upper and lower limb loading when performing foundation gymnastics skills. A secondary aim investigated the effect of raw and filtered acceleration signals on reliability results. Sixteen competitive level artistic gymnasts (male, n = 8; female, n = 8) performed seven gymnastics skills while wearing four IMUs (upper back, lower back, forearm and tibia). The peak resultant acceleration (PRA) during ground contact for all skills was exported from raw and filtered acceleration data (fourth-order zero-lag Butterworth filter with 85 Hz cut-off). Descriptive statistics (median and inter-quartile range), Friedman’s ANOVA, intra-class correlations, coefficient of variation, mean difference and Cohen’s effect sizes were calculated. Overall, the IMU PRA measures showed very good inter-trial reliability, however filtered signals improved reliability statistics for five variables compared to raw. The forearm- and tibia-mounted IMUs demonstrated improved reliability (very good reliability) compared to back positions (good reliability). IMUs are considered reliable devices to measure upper and lower limb loading in gymnastics.

Abstract Pain causes functional limitations and might elevate risk for mobility-related injuries in older adults. For this reason, we examined the longitudinal impact of lower back pain on the likelihood of MVCs and falls. Between 1998 and 1999, participants (ages >55 years) completed cognitive and physical measures at three Motor Vehicle departments. Participants then completed a telephone interview (n=1,248) assessing yearly health complications and injuries, which continued annually for 14 years. Separate longitudinal models examined the relationship between lower back pain and MVC and fall likelihood while controlling for demographics and mobility. Overall, those with lower back pain were twice as likely to have a fall than unafflicted peers (95%CI:1.69-2.47) and odds of MVC was just beyond statistical significance (95%CI: 0.97-1.94). In persons with lower back pain, problems in lower-limb function, divided attention, and task-switching were associated with MVCs whereas problems in lower-limb function were related to falls. Addressing limitations from pain might reduce mobility-related injury in older adults.
