On the kinematics of the head using linear acceleration measurements.

چکیده
The paper deals with an application of the nine accelerometer scheme proposed by Padgaonkar et ai, (1975) to the analysis of the head kinematics including the head angular acceleration and velocity using linear acceleration measurements. The computed results have been compared with the film analysis and with the actual measured quantities in the case of the dummy experiments. The study reveals an excellent agreement among these results and indicates the feasibility of the application of the method to biomechanical studies,

Sex Differences in Anthropometrics and Heading Kinematics Among Division I Soccer Athletes
BACKGROUND Soccer players head the ball repetitively throughout their careers; this is also a potential mechanism for a concussion. Although not all soccer headers result in a concussion, these subconcussive impacts may impart acceleration, deceleration, and rotational forces on the brain, leaving structural and functional deficits. Stronger neck musculature may reduce head-neck segment kinemat...

Background and aim: Considering the widespread development of implants in dental treatment plans, linear measurements on panoramic radiography are of especial importance. In the present study we investigated the effect of head misalignment up to 15° around vertical and horizontal axes on the magnification rate of digital panoramic radiography in each part of upper and lower jaws. Materia...

Introduction:In this study, a non-invasive method based on consecutive ultrasonic image processing is introduced to assess time rate changes of the carotid artery wall displacement, velocity and acceleration in the longitudinal direction. The application of these parameters to discriminate healthy and atherosclerotic arteries was evaluated. Methods:Longitudinal displacement rate of common ...
متن کاملKinematic analyses of instrumentation cubes in vehicle impact experiments.
Three-dimensional kinematics of body targets are frequently tracked during vehicle impact tests using instrumented cubes. While the components of linear acceleration and angular velocity are recorded in a cube local coordinate system, transformation to a global coordinate system is required to reconstruct the whole body motions. This paper presents a methodology for local-to-global kinematic tr...
