Dear Biomech:ers
Additional contributions to the discussion which I regrettably ommitted in
my first message. Please excuse this oversight. This interesting comment
is from Peter A. Torzilli (TORZILLI@CONDYLE.MAE.CORNELL.EDU).

And from J. Hale (jeh7a@galen.med.virginia.edu) the newly published article
Journal of Biomechanics (J Bio 28(2):159-166, 1995). The article correlates
chronic stress overload to patients with degenerative joint disease in the
hip joint. The article also contains some references to other wok in this area.
And from JIM PATTON(pattn@MERLE.ACNS.NWU.EDU) the reference McKinley and
Peddotti, (1992) "Motor strategies in landing from a jump: the role of
skill in task execution," Exp Brain Res, 90:427-440.
I do not have this article yet but am looking forward to read it.
