Design of a Passive Exoskeleton Spine
In this chapter, a series of biomechanics simulations were conducted to reconstruct a specific movement – spine flexion/extension in sagittal plane of a subject. The motion capture was used to collect the kinematics information of the subject. These motions were used to drive a customized musculoskeletal model in OpenSim. Additionally, the muscle actuation forces and joint reactions were comput...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Range of the ankle motion, Q angle and back stroke kicking on male Swimmers
The purpose of this research is to survey the relationship between range of the ankle motion and Q angle and back stroke kicking on male swimmers. 34 on available boy students swimmers were selected with mean and SD of age 23.68±2.28 years, weight 71.88±9.35 kg and height 176.11±5.52 cm in this study. First, Right and Left Leg Q angles (to supine position), Range of Dorsal flexion and plan...
متن کاملPassive hip range of motion is reduced in active subjects with chronic low back pain compared to controls.
BACKGROUND Non-specific low back pain is a common condition often without a clear mechanism for its presentation. Recently more attention has been placed on the hip and its potential contributions to non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). Emphasis in research has mainly been placed on motor control, strength and endurance factors in relation to NSCLBP. Limited focus has been placed on hip...
متن کاملAstym therapy improves function and range of motion following mastectomy
Hypersensitive scar tissue formation along the incision line and drain site is a common side effect following mastectomy. If this scar tissue is not addressed, it can lead to decreased flexibility and function in the involved upper quadrant. Astym(®) treatment is a new approach to soft tissue injuries, and is evidenced in animal studies to promote the healing and regeneration of soft tissues. I...
متن کاملPassive dorsiflexion stiffness is poorly correlated with passive dorsiflexion range of motion.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships among passive measures of weight-bearing dorsiflexion range of motion, non-weight-bearing dorsiflexion range of motion and dorsiflexion stiffness, thereby establishing whether they assess similar mechanical characteristics, as each measure has been implicated in injury risk during landings. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. ...
