The phrase "at initial contact" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to refer to the first point of interaction or communication between parties.
Example: "At initial contact, it is important to establish a rapport with the client to build trust."
Alternatives: "upon first contact" or "during the first interaction".
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries have been reported to occur with the ankle in a dorsiflexed position at initial contact.
The equation of motion during contact is found and the solution is obtained from the conditions at initial contact.
Measures at initial contact and 6 month follow up included the Child Behaviour Checklist and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.
Results: During the FAST-FP, participants had increased knee internal rotation at initial contact (IC) (12.5 ± 5.9°) when compared to the SLO-FP (7.9 ± 5.4°, p < 0.001).
The main parameters are the ratio of strain energy to kinetic energy at initial contact, and the damping of the contact.
The presence of an irregular resin-rich surface was influential at initial contact and was thought to reduce the contact stiffness for smaller diameter indenters.
Ankle sprain is a common sports related injury that may be caused by incorrect positioning of the foot prior to and at initial contact during landing from a jump or gait.
However, for more wettable surfaces (SCA<90∘), the DCA observed at initial contact times were order of magnitude higher than SCA values and therefore the DCA model is needed for the accurate prediction of the spreading behavior.
To identify biomechanical and clinical parameters that influence knee flexion (KF) angle at initial contact (IC) and during single limb stance phase of gait in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) who walk with flexed-knee gait.
Results: Preliminary data from 7 subjects suggests that, compared with a shoes-only condition, all AFO conditions improved ankle position at initial contact and in swing, and, where knee hyperextension was present, reduced the onset and magnitude of the hyperextension.
Group differences for hip abduction angle and knee abduction moment at initial contact were found.
