چکیده

The location of the instantaneous screw axis (ISA) is essential in order to obtain useful kinematic models of the human body for applications such as prosthesis and orthoses design or even to help in disease diagnosis techniques. In this paper, dual vectors will be used to represent and operate with kinematic screws with the purpose of locating the instantaneous screw axes which characterize this instantaneous motion. A photogrammetry system based on markers will be used to obtain the experimental data from which the kinematic magnitudes will be obtained. A comprehensive analysis of the errors in the measurement of kinematic parameters has been developed, obtaining explicit expressions for them based on the number of markers and their distribution. Finally, the developed methodology has been applied to the experimental determination of the ISA during an alternative motion of flexion and extension of the back. 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

Estimation of Complex Anatomical Joint Motions Using a Spatial Goniometer

The determination of the instantaneous axis of rotation of human joints has numerous applications. The screw axis can be determined using optical motion capture systems or electromechanical goniometers. In this paper, we introduce a new method for the localization of the instantaneous screw axis in human anatomical joints from the data given by a spatial mechanical goniometer.

Measurement of Left Ventricular Myocardium Wall Instantaneous Motions with Echocardiographic Sequence Images

Background & Aims: One of the important aims of quantitative cardiac image processing is the clarification of myocardial motions in order to derive biomechanical behavior of the heart in the disease condition. In this study we presented a computerized analysis method for detecting the instantaneous myocardial changes by using 2D echocardiography images. Methods: The analysis was performed on th...

Measurement of the screw-home motion of the knee is sensitive to errors in axis alignment.

Measurements of joint angles during motion analysis are subject to error caused by kinematic crosstalk, that is, one joint rotation (e. g., flexion) being interpreted as another (e.g., abduction). Kinematic crosstalk results from the chosen joint coordinate system being misaligned with the axes about which rotations are assumed to occur. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that measurement ...

Performance Analysis Of Mono-bit Digital Instantaneous Frequency Measurement (Difm) Device

Instantaneous Frequency Measurement (IFM) devices are the essential parts of anyESM, ELINT, and RWR receiver. Analog IFMs have been used for several decades. However, thesedevices are bulky, complex and expensive. Nowadays, there is a great interest in developing a wideband, high dynamic range, and accurate Digital IFMs. One Digital IFM that has suitably reached allthese requirements is mono-bi...
