this paper presents the kinematic analysis and the development of a 4-degree-of-freedom serial-parallel mechanism for large commercial vehicle driving simulators. the degrees of freedom are selected according to the target maneuvers and the structure of human motion perception organs. several kinematic properties of parallel part of the mechanism under study are investigated, including the inve...

We present a new learning-based approach for the representation of complex motion patterns that is based on the linear combination of prototypical movement sequences that can be used in clinical gait and movement analysis. Opposed to many existing methods that are based on heuristically chosen individual kinematic or kinetic features, this method extracts automatically the meaningful parts of t...

A binge drinking pattern of alcohol consumption has been shown to have an impact on brain structures that continue to develop into late adolescence. These same brain structures have been implicated in processing self-movement cues. The current study applies an array of existing and novel kinematic analysis techniques to characterize performance on manipulatory scale tasks to assess spatial orie...

The paper discusses determining crane block trajectories using the finite element method (FEM). mathematical formulation for air resistance of hooks’ is presented with kinematic analysis block. three blocks are considered: without wind deflector, a spherical deflector and cylindrical fairing. hook was assumed as physical pendulum. FEM provided movement consideration. Movement different speeds d...

The participation of scapula motion in arm movement is clinically well known and recent three dimensional (3D) analyses using kinematic techniques have confirmed its importance. Scapular motion relative to the thorax has a theoretical maximum of 6 degrees of freedom (DoF), resulting from rotations at both clavicular joints (3 rotational DoF each). However, most recent kinematic studies have onl...
