Extraction of average neck flexion angle during swallowing in neutral and chin-tuck positions
BACKGROUND A common but debated technique in the management of swallowing difficulties is the chin tuck swallow, where the neck is flexed forward prior to swallowing. Natural variations in chin tuck angles across individuals may contribute to the differential effectiveness of the technique. METHODOLOGY To facilitate the study of chin tuck angle variations, we present a template tracking algor...
متن کاملInertial sensor-based knee flexion/extension angle estimation.
A new method for estimating knee joint flexion/extension angles from segment acceleration and angular velocity data is described. The approach uses a combination of Kalman filters and biomechanical constraints based on anatomical knowledge. In contrast to many recently published methods, the proposed approach does not make use of the earth's magnetic field and hence is insensitive to the comple...
متن کاملEstimation of the Knee Flexion-Extension Angle During Dynamic Sport Motions Using Body-worn Inertial Sensors
Motion analysis has become an important tool for athletes to improve their performance. However, most motion analysis systems are expensive and can only be used in a laboratory environment. Ambulatory motion analysis systems using inertial sensors would allow more flexible use, e.g. in a real training environment or even during competitions. This paper presents the calculation of the flexion-ex...
متن کاملVelocity of Lordosis Angle during Spinal Flexion and Extension
The importance of functional parameters for evaluating the severity of low back pain is gaining clinical recognition, with evidence suggesting that the angular velocity of lordosis is critical for identification of musculoskeletal deficits. However, there is a lack of data regarding the range of functional kinematics (RoKs), particularly which include the changing shape and curvature of the spi...
متن کاملForefoot angle determines duration and amplitude of pronation during walking.
The biomechanical mechanisms that link foot structure to injuries of the musculoskeletal system during gait are not well understood. This study had two parts. The purpose of part one was to determine the relation between clinical rearfoot and forefoot angles and foot angles as they make contact with the ground. The purpose of part two was to determine the effects of large vs. moderate values of...
