The effects of prosthetic ankle dorsiflexion and energy return on below-knee amputee leg loading

JD Ventura, GK Klute, RR Neptune - Clinical Biomechanics, 2011 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: Prosthetic devices are intended to return lower limb amputees to their pre-amputation
functional status. However, prosthetic devices designed for unilateral below-knee …

The effect of prosthetic ankle energy storage and return properties on muscle activity in below-knee amputee walking

JD Ventura, GK Klute, RR Neptune - Gait & posture, 2011 - Elsevier
In an effort to improve amputee gait, energy storage and return (ESAR) prosthetic feet have
been developed to provide enhanced function by storing and returning mechanical energy …

Compensatory mechanisms of transtibial amputees during circular turning

JD Ventura, AD Segal, GK Klute, RR Neptune - Gait & posture, 2011 - Elsevier
Turning plays a prominent role in daily living activities and requires the modulation of the
ground reaction forces to accelerate the body's center-of-mass along the path of the turn. With …

Localized synchrotron irradiation of mouse skin induces persistent systemic genotoxic and immune responses

J Ventura, PN Lobachevsky, JS Palazzolo, H Forrester… - Cancer research, 2017 - AACR
The importance of nontargeted (systemic) effects of ionizing radiation is attracting increasing
attention. Exploiting synchrotron radiation generated by the Imaging and Medical Beamline …

[HTML][HTML] Structure of human ADP-ribosyl-acceptor hydrolase 3 bound to ADP-ribose reveals a conformational switch that enables specific substrate recognition

Y Pourfarjam, J Ventura, I Kurinov, A Cho… - Journal of Biological …, 2018 - ASBMB
ADP-ribosyl-acceptor hydrolase 3 (ARH3) plays important roles in regulation of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation,
a reversible post-translational modification, and in maintenance of genomic …

Individual muscle contributions to circular turning mechanics

JD Ventura, GK Klute, RR Neptune - Journal of biomechanics, 2015 - Elsevier
Turning is an activity of daily living that involves both the acceleration of the body center-of-mass
(COM) towards the center of curvature and rotation of the pelvis towards the new …

Carrying children, groceries, and water across varying terrain: Changes in gait and comfortable walking speed

JD Ventura, BH Hodges - Gait & Posture, 2023 - Elsevier
Background Carrying items of substantial weight and value in one’s arms while traversing
challenging terrain is a common task that requires considerable care. Carrying valuable (eg, …

A functional immune system is required for the systemic genotoxic effects of localized irradiation

PN Lobachevsky, J Ventura… - International Journal of …, 2019 - Elsevier
Purpose Nontargeted effects of ionizing radiation, by which unirradiated cells and tissues
are also damaged, are a relatively new paradigm in radiobiology. We recently reported …
