Introduction: The MRI based measurement of dynamic 3D deformation of soft tissue in-vivo is relevant to many areas of research such as cardiac biomechanics, the assessment of tumor motion and preoperative planning. Furthermore, when combined with inverse analysis, it enables the non-invasive determination of the mechanical properties of human soft tissue [1]. The current study uses SPAtial Modu...

This paper introduces a protocol for the measurement of shoulder movement that uses a motion analysis based technique and the proposed standards of the International Society of Biomechanics. The protocol demonstrates effective dynamic tracking of shoulder movements in 3D, including the movement of the thorax relative to the global coordinate system, the humerus relative to the thorax, the scapu...

Background: This study investigates the dart-throwing motion (DTM) by comparing an inertial measurement unit-based system previously validated for basic tasks with optoelectronic capture system. The DTM is interesting as wrist movement during many activities of daily living occur in this plane, but complex difficult to assess clinically. Methods: Ten healthy subjects were recorded while perform...

introduction: the use of multiple cameras for motion analysis and single joint motion is very difficult and needs high technology in laboratory conditions. detection of single joint motion in kinesthesia and analysis of its changes can be done by one camera at one direction. in this study, we present the validity and reliability of a new prototype simulator system used for motion analysis appli...
