THE ROOTS OF MODERN motion analysis can be traced back to photographer Eadweard Muybridge who used his invention, the zoopraxiscope, to project sequential motions onto a screen so they appeared in motion. At the University of Pennsylvania, he studied animals and human volunteers. To gain insight into uncommon human motion he also recruited patients with physical disabilities from a nearby hospi...

With the increasing number of people who have problems with their walking, a new type of gait rehabilitation training robot has been put forward and designed. In order to meet the requirements of the gait rehabilitation training, the whole mechanical structure and control system have been designed, and the model machine for gait rehabilitation training robot has been made. Using the human gait ...

introduction: the human anthropometric characteristics are surveyed in anthropology. anthropology is used in archeology, rehabilitation and legal medicine. the purpose of this study was to determine femur which has a special place in the science of anthropometry. methods: to measure the femur, both direct and indirect methods was used. the direct method of measuring the 113 femur in dissection ...

Introduction: Repetitive strain injuries are one of the most prevalent problems in occupational diseases. Repetition, vibration and bad postures of the extremities are physical risk factors related to work that can cause chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Repetitive work on a computer with low level contraction requires the posture to be maintained for a long time, which can cause muscle fatigu...

In recent years, fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are becoming increasingly attractive for sensing applications in biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering due to their advantageous properties like small size, light weight, biocompatibility, chemical inertness, multiplexing capability and immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI). They also offer a high-performance alternative to conventiona...
