Fundamental Factors in OMT The Role of Biomechanics in Repetitive Motion Strain and OMT Repetitive and forceful movements, awkward postures, and sustained forces often lead to repetitive motion strain (RMS), a common condition generally correlated to occupationrelated factors such as physical and psychological distress and monotonous work, but which is also correlated to non–work related factor...

this paper proposes a discrete-time repetitive optimal control of electrically driven robotic manipulators using an uncertainty estimator. the proposed control method can be used for performing repetitive motion, which covers many industrial applications of robotic manipulators. this kind of control law is in the class of torque-based control in which the joint torques are generated by permanen...

The recognition of human movements such as walk ing running or climbing has been approached previ ously by tracking a number of feature points and either classifying the trajectories directly or matching them with a high level model of the movement A major di culty with these methods is acquiring and tracking the requisite feature points which are generally speci c joints such as knees or ankle...

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a behaviorally defined neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by decreased reciprocal social interaction, abnormal communication, and repetitive behaviors with restricted interest. As diagnosis is based on clinical criteria, any potentially relevant rodent models of this heterogeneous disorder should ideally recapitulate these diverse behavioral traits. The ...

Water polo is an intense sport with extreme physical contact and repetitive shoulder motion that predisposes to injury. The continuous scapular motion and recruitment of the scapular stabilizers to maintain buoyancy expose water polo athletes to the risk of scapular stress fracture. Suspicion should arise when evaluating water polo athletes presenting with shoulder pain.

This paper presents a novel Iterative Learning Control (ILC) scheme for linear systems in the presence of parametric uncertainty. The developed ILC architecture is comprised of an L1 adaptive feedback controller combined with an ILC feedforward controller. The learning controller is designed to compensate for repetitive system uncertainties, while the adaptive controller compensates for non-rep...

The locked-in syndrome is characterized by quadriplegia, preserved consciousness and inability to respond to the outside world. In recent years, the repetitive execution of identical movements has been demonstrated to be crucial for the recovery of arm and hand function in stroke patients. The present study aimed at investigating the efficiency of repetitive training in a patient suffering from...

A previous pilot study demonstrated that a force and frequency-weighted filter network could be developed for processing continuous biomechanical measures of repetitive wrist motions and exertions. The current study achieves the objective by modelling subjective discomfort for repetitive wrist flexion using controlled posture, pace and force. A three-level fractional factorial experiment was co...
