Derivation and Validation of a Spatial Multi-link Human Postural Stability Model

چکیده
In naval engineering and related disciplines, it is common for dynamic models of the human body to be used in conjunction with quantitative records of body and ship motions, in order to study human balance behaviour while performing various shipboard activities. Research in this area can lead to improvements in ship operations and designs that improve crew safety and efficiency. This paper presents the development of a new spatial 18 degree-of-freedom (DOF)1 ship-inverted pendulum model that incorporates 6 DOF ship motion and 3 DOF joints representing ankle, knee, hip, and neck motions. The derived model is then validated by comparing it to similar models derived using alternative methods but simulated under equivalent input conditions.

Evaluation of optimal step length in a seven-link model with margin of stability method
In a walking cycle design, maximizing the upright balance should be considered in addition to the kinematic constraints, energy consumption rate must be considered. The purpose of this study is to find the optimal step length obtained for each person according to the physical features. In this research, in order to minimize energy consumption rate by considering maximum balance two cost functio...
متن کاملEffect of intermittent feedback control on robustness of human-like postural control system.
Humans have to acquire postural robustness to maintain stability against internal and external perturbations. Human standing has been recently modelled using an intermittent feedback control. However, the causality inside of the closed-loop postural control system associated with the neural control strategy is still unknown. Here, we examined the effect of intermittent feedback control on postu...
متن کاملA Common Weight Multi-criteria Decision analysis-data Envelopment Analysis Approach with Assurance Region for Weight Derivation from Pairwise Comparison Matrices
Deriving weights from a pairwise comparison matrix (PCM) is a subject for which a wide range of methods have ever been presented. This paper proposes a common weight multi criteria decision analysis-data envelopment analysis (MCDA-DEA) approach with assurance region for weight derivation from a PCM. The proposed model has several merits over the competing approaches and removes the drawbacks of...
متن کاملComparing lumbosacral orthosis to routine physical therapy on postural stability in patients with chronic low back pain: A randomized trial
Background: Poor balance performance and impaired postural control have been frequently reported in patients with low back pain. However, postural control is rarely monitored during the course of treatment even though poor postural control may contribute to chronicity and recurrence of symptoms. Therefore, the present study aimed at investigating the effect of a nonextensible lumbosacral orth...
