Optimal estimation of complex aerial movements using dynamic optimization
(Routledge, 2022-06-01)
When estimating full-body motion from experimental data, inverse kinematics followed by inverse dynamics does not guarantee dynamical consistency of the resulting motion, especially in movements where the trajectory depends ...
Glenohumeral joint and muscles functions during a lifting task
(Elsevier, 2021-07-19)
The mobility of the healthy shoulder depends on complex interactions between the muscles spanning its glenohumeral joint. These interactions ensure the stability of this joint. While previous studies emphasized the complexity ...
Plantar pressure analysis : identifying risk of foot and ankle injury in soccer players
(Wiley, 2021-04-26)
The aim of this study was to determine whether risk factors for foot or ankle injuries could be identified using quantitative foot measurements. Male and female soccer players of all levels from 9 to 40 years old were ...
Computationally efficient model to predict the deformations of a cellular foot orthotic
(Elsevier, 2022-04-21)
Background
Foot orthotics (FOs) are frequently prescribed to provide comfortable walking for patients. Finite element (FE) simulation and 3D printing pave the way to analyse, optimize and fabricate functionally graded ...
Moving horizon estimation of human kinematics and muscle forces
(Institute of electrical and electronics engineers, 2023-07-04)
Human-robot interaction based on real-time kinematics or electromyography (EMG) feedback improves rehabilitation using assist-as-needed strategies. Muscle forces are
expected to provide even more comprehensive information ...
Moment arms of the deltoid, infraspinatus and teres minor muscles for movements with high range of motion : a cadaveric study
(Elsevier, 2022-05-25)
Background
Moment arms are an indicator of the role of the muscles in joint actuation. An excursion method is often used to calculate them, even though it provides 1D results. As shoulder movement occurs in three dimensions ...
The influence of proximal motor strategies on pianists' upper-limb movement variability
(Elsevier, 2023-06-07)
Repetitive movements are considered a risk factor for developing practice-related musculoskeletal disorders. Intra-participant kinematic variability might help musicians reduce the risk of injury during repetitive tasks. ...
Optimality equivalence and computational advantages of free-floating base dynamics compared to full-body dynamics
(Elsevier, 2022-12-19)
Several transcription methods exist for predictive simulations of free-floating base motions like athlete performing twisting somersaults. Following a brief overview of the literature, we proposed two original direct ...
Shoulder muscle activation strategies differ when lifting or lowering a load
(Springer, 2020-08-14)
Purpose
Lowering a load could be associated with abnormal shoulder and scapular motion. We tested the hypothesis that lowering a load involves different shoulder muscle coordination strategies compared to lifting a ...
Lower trapezius weakness and shoulder complex biomechanics during the tennis serve
(Lippincott, Williams and Wilkins, 2019-07-02)
Purpose
This study aimed to assess the effect of lower trapezius (LT) weakness on humeral and scapular kinematics and shoulder muscle activity during the tennis serve.
Methods
Fifteen competitive male tennis players ...
