Optical motion capture is commonly used in biomechanics to measure human kinematics.
However, no studies have yet examined the accuracy of optical motion capture in a large …

Biological musculoskeletal system (MSK), composed of numerous bones, cartilages,
skeletal muscles, tendons, ligaments etc., provides form, support, movement and stability for …

To obtain valid 3D joint angles with inertial sensors careful sensor-to-segment calibration (ie
functional or anatomical calibration) is required and measured angular velocity at each …

Accurate measurement of knee kinematics during functional activities suffers mainly from
soft tissue artifact (STA): the combination of local surface deformations and rigid movement …

Self-piercing riveting has been widely used in vehicle body manufacturing to join aluminum
alloys or aluminum to steel. However, it is difficult to rivet ultrahigh strength steel (UHSS) …

Measuring the motion of the scapula and humerus with sub-millimeter levels of accuracy in
six-degrees-of-freedom (6-DOF) is a challenging problem. The current methods to measure …

Fluoroscopic imaging, using single plane or dual plane images, has grown in popularity to
measure dynamic in vivo human shoulder joint kinematics. However, no study has …

Previous dynamic imaging studies of the cervical spine have focused entirely on
intervertebral kinematics while neglecting to investigate the relationship between head …

Fluoroscopic images suffer from multiple modes of image distortion. Therefore, the purpose
of this study was to compare the effects of correction using a range of two‐dimensional …

The goal of this study was to develop and validate a non-invasive approach to estimate
scapular kinematics in individual patients. We hypothesized that individualized …
