This is a small pattern language for running online trainings. The language starts with an entry pattern ONLINE TRAINING. All other patterns are supporting this pattern and help to make online trainings more alive. Some of the patterns are not exclusive for online uses, for instance PREPARED EXAMPLE or TEST RUN. These patterns could be part of a pattern language for trainings as well. They are ...

Several forces are always exerted to the locomotion systems such as inertial forces, gravitational forces, and ground reaction forces. Among them, we here focus on the ground reaction forces to consider the balance control of the simple two-link model in the sagittal plane, which contains one actuator at the ankle and two force sensors on the sole. To keep the balance, it is necessary that the ...

This study presented a method to estimate the complete ground reaction forces from pressure insoles in walking. Five male subjects performed 10 walking trials in a laboratory. The complete ground reaction forces were collected during a right foot stride by a force plate at 1000Hz. Simultaneous plantar pressure data were collected at 100Hz by a pressure insole system with 99 sensors covering the...

The measurement of forces generated during locomotion is essential for the development of accurate mechanical models of animal movements. However, animals that lack a stiff skeleton tend to dissipate locomotor forces in large tissue deformation and most have complex or poorly defined substrate contacts. Under these conditions, measuring propulsive and supportive forces is very difficult. One gr...

In the present era, there is more demand for high-rise buildings. The growing de- mand buildings brings new difficulties and comes up with safety precautions. With an increase in height of structure, its rigidity reduces, making it difficult to withstand earthquake wind effects, hence some preventative structural systems must be used. Some them are bracings, shear walls, outrig- ger belt truss ...

CONTEXT A smaller amount of ankle-dorsiflexion displacement during landing is associated with less knee-flexion displacement and greater ground reaction forces, and greater ground reaction forces are associated with greater knee-valgus displacement. Additionally, restricted dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) is associated with greater knee-valgus displacement during landing and squatting tasks....
