Validation of a one degree-of-freedom spherical model for kinematics analysis of the human ankle joint

چکیده
Background During passive motion, the human tibiotalar (ankle) joint behaves as a single degree-of-freedom (1DOF) system [1,2]. In these conditions, fibres within the ligaments remain nearly isometric throughout the flexion arc and articular surfaces nearly rigid. Relevant theoretical models are showing that the ligaments and the articular surfaces act together as mechanisms to control the passive joint kinematics [3-5]. Kinematic measurements and corresponding model predictions also

Kinematics and Dynamic Modelling of the Human Shoulder
This paper deals with kinematics and dynamics of the human shoulder in order to obtain the workspace related to the reachability of the wrist and applications to determine load for the wheelchair. The model contains six revolute degrees of freedom (D.O.F), two in costoclavicular and three in the shoulder joint and one in the elbow joint, while a six D.O.F model was developed according to given ...
متن کاملKinematic and Dynamic Analysis of Tripteron, an Over-constrained 3-DOF Translational Parallel Manipulator, Through Newton-Euler Approach
In this research, as the main contribution, a comprehensive study is carried out on the mathematical modeling and analysis of the inverse kinematics and dynamics of an over-constraint three translational degree-of-freedom parallel manipulator. Due to the inconsistency between the number of equations and unknowns, the problem of obtaining the constraint forces and torques of an over-constraint m...
متن کاملOne Degree-of-freedom Spherical Mechanism Models for Kinematic Analysis of the Human Knee and Ankle Joints
INTRODUCTION In virtually unloaded conditions, the human tibiofemoral (knee) and tibiotalar (ankle) joints behave as single degree-offreedom (1DOF) systems [1]. In these conditions, fibres within the ligaments remain nearly isometric throughout the flexion arc and articular surfaces nearly rigid. Relevant theoretical models are showing that the ligaments and the articular surfaces act together ...

This paper presents the kinematic analysis and the development of a 4-degree-of-freedom serial-parallel mechanism for large commercial vehicle driving simulators. The degrees of freedom are selected according to the target maneuvers and the structure of human motion perception organs. Several kinematic properties of parallel part of the mechanism under study are investigated, including the inve...
متن کاملModeling and Kinematic Analysis of the Biped Robot
Biped robots are intricate in design, with more degrees of freedom (DOF) because of the challenging goal of imitating humanoid gait. This paper gives a very simple architecture of the biped robot have three degrees of freedom (DOF)in each leg, one DOF for hip joint and one corresponding to the knee and ankle joint respectively. Denavit-Hartenberg parameter is being used to obtain the solution f...
