[Purpose] A wide variety of accelerometer tools are used to estimate human movement, but there are no adequate data relating to gait symmetry parameters in the context of knee osteoarthritis. This study's purpose was to evaluate a 3D-kinematic system using body-mounted sensors (gyroscopes and accelerometers) on the trunk and limbs. This is the first study to use spectral analysis for data post ...

Background. Controlling and manipulating inter-repetition rest (IRR) could develop diverse levels of fatigue and manifest changes to lifting mechanics. Objectives. This studychr('39')s objective was to examine the effect of IRR on the kinematic of snatch lifting during multiple set exercise protocol. Methods. Fifteen male (n=15) athletes participated in this study (age = 21.0 ± 1.41 years; bo...

This paper addresses the kinematic sensitivity of the three degree-of-freedom 3-UPU parallel mechanism, a mechanism consisting of a fixed base and a moving platform connected by three serial UPU chains. Although a mathematical mobility analysis confirms that the mechanism has three degrees of freedom, hardware prototypes exhibit unexpected large motions of the platform even when the three prism...

This study provided a quantitative analysis of the kinematic deviances in dysarthria associated with spastic cerebral palsy. Of particular interest were tongue tip movements during alveolar consonant release. Our analysis based on EMA measures indicated that speakers with spastic dysarthria had a restricted range of articulation and disturbances in articulatory-voicing coordination. The degree ...
