A General Method for Determining the Functional Role of a Muscle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a general classification method for determining the functional role of any muscle, and a procedure for determining the sensitivity of that role to small changes in system ...
The Joint Distribution Problem With Multiple Articular Contact Forces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The single joint distribution problem with two or more unknown bony contact forces is considered, and an optimal solution procedure free of ad hoc assumptions is described. If two bony contact ...
Sensitivity Analysis and Optimal Design of a Mechanical System with Intermittent Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Selection of Body Segment Parameters by Optimization Methods
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The selection of body segment parameters (BSPs) is a difficult yet essential task in many biomechanical studies. The methods used to date—cadaver, reaction board, mathematical modeling, gamma ...
An In-Vivo Study of Normal Wrist Kinematics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The motion of the hand relative to a reference frame embedded in the radius is described using the screw displacement axis (SDA) concept. A three-dimensional sonic digitizer was utilized in a ...
