This preliminary study aimed to assess skin temperature (Tsk) asymmetries before and after on-court training in elite young tennis players find the correlation between these demographic data, racquet characteristics, pain fatigue variation. Thermal images of nine were taken two a half hours standardised training. correlated age, years experience, weight, string tension, body mass index (BMI), v...

To achieve an effective and safe operation on the machine system where the human interacts with the machine mutually, there is a need for the machine to understand the human state, especially cognitive state, when the human’s operation task demands an intensive cognitive activity. Due to a well-known fact with the human being, a highly uncertain cognitive state and behavior as well as expressio...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the degree of kinesiophobia in patients with chronic pain, to examine differences in kinesiophobia and other pain-related characteristics between men and women, and to examine differences in pain-related characteristics between patients with high and low levels of kinesiophobia. DESIGN Postal survey. SUBJECTS/PATIENTS Eighty-eight men and 173 women with chronic musc...

Accuracy in processing time estimation of different manufacturing operations is fundamental to get more competitive prices and higher profits in an industry. The manufacturing times of a machine depend on several input variables and, for each class or type of product, a regression function for that machine can be defined. Time estimations are used for implementing production plans. These plans ...

The anterior commissure (AC) is one of the important commissure projections in the brain that conveys information from one side of the nervous system to the other. During development, the axons from the anterior AC (aAC) and the posterior AC (pAC) course in the same dorsoventral plane and converge into a common fascicle for midline crossing. Previously, we reported that Tsukushi (TSK), a member...

BACKGROUND Complaints of arm, neck and shoulder are common in Western societies. Of those consulting a general practitioner (GP) with non-traumatic arm, neck or shoulder complaints, about 50% do not recover within 6 months. Kinesiophobia (also known as fear of movement/(re)injury) may also play a role in these complaints, as it may lead to avoidance behaviour resulting in hypervigilance to bodi...

Swinkels-Meewisse et al. (2003) examined some of the psychometric properties of both the Dutch Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-DV) and the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ) in acute low back pain patients. We congratulate the authors for their work; early identification of acute (low back) pain patients at risk of becoming chronic may be of prime importance to reduce both economic ...

This paper presents a new approach of achieving inverse model control (IMC) of nonlinear plants with TaSe Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy system. The inverse control law, designed for the control of nonlinear plant dynamics, is derived directly based on approximate model method and it is implemented using TaSe TSK fuzzy system modeling. The robust stability of the IMC is analyzed using Lyapunov ...

This study suggests new learning laws for Adaptive Network based Fuzzy Inference System that is structured on the basis of TSK type III as a system identifier. Stable learning algorithms for consequence parts of TSK type III rules are proposed on the basis of the Lyapunov stability theory and some constraints are obtained. Simulation results are given to validate the results. It is shown that i...

In an intelligent manufacturing context, the smooth operations of mechanical equipment in production process enterprises and timely fault diagnosis during have become increasingly important. However, effect traditional depends on feature extraction quality experts’ empirical knowledge, which is inefficient costly, cannot match needs manufacturing. The TSK fuzzy system has a strong approximation...
