Knee kinematics is an analysis of motion pattern that is utilized to assess a comparative,
biomechanical performance of healthy nonimplanted knees, injured nonimplanted knees …

Research Methods in Biomechanics, Second Edition, demonstrates the range of available
research techniques and how to best apply this knowledge to ensure valid data collection. In …

Background Neuromusculoskeletal modeling and simulation enable investigation of the
neuromusculoskeletal system and its role in human movement dynamics. These methods …

We investigated the effects of including kinematic constraints in the analysis of knee
kinematics from skin markers and compared the result to simultaneously recorded …

Soft tissue artefact (STA) represents one of the main obstacles for obtaining accurate and
reliable skeletal kinematics from motion capture. Many studies have addressed this issue …

“Assist as needed” control algorithms promote activity of patients during robotic gait training.
Implementing these requires a free walking mode of a device, as unassisted motions should …

When recording human movement with stereophotogrammetry, skin deformation and
displacement (soft tissue artefact; STA) inhibits surface markers' ability to validly represent …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries continue to present in epidemic-like proportions,
carrying significant short-and longer-term debilitative effects. With females suffering these …

Marker-based gait analysis of the lower limb that uses assumptions of generic anatomical
morphology can be susceptible to errors, particularly in subjects with high levels of soft …

This paper describes the development of a remote handling control of an anthropomorphic
robotic hand, the SCHUNK S5FH, using the human hand as master by measuring its motion …
