The rising importance of movement analysis led to the development of more complex
biomechanical models to describe in detail the human motion patterns. The models scaled …

Quantitative gait analysis can provide a description of joint kinematics and dynamics, and it
is recognized as a clinically useful tool for functional assessment, diagnosis and intervention …

Body segment inertial parameters (BSIPs) are important data in biomechanics. They are
usually estimated from predictive equations reported in the literature. However, most of the …

BACKGROUND: Obesity has been clinically associated with musculoskeletal disorders.
However, the findings were mainly focused on the analysis in the sagittal plane. The …

In studies related to human movement, linked segment models (LSM's) are often used to
quantify forces and torques, generated in body joints. Some LSM's represent only a few …

Objectives. To compare lower limb joint torques during sit-to-stand in normal elderly subjects
and people with Parkinson's disease, using a developed biomechanical model simulating …

The purpose of the present study was to examine the influence of anthropometric data on
joint kinetics during gait. We particularly focused on the sensitivity of inverse dynamics …

Arm movements after perturbations like tripping over an obstacle have been suggested to be
aspecific startle responses, serve a protective function or contribute to balance recovery …

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the uncertainties in joint torque estimates
derived through inverse dynamics. The analysis considered most of the quantifiable sources …

The practical determination of accurate body segment inertial parameters for the general
older adult population remains a problem, especially in estimating these parameters for …
