Sensitivity of Intersegmental Angles of the Spinal Column to Errors Due to Marker Misplacement
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The ranges of angular motion measured using multisegmented spinal column models are typically small, meaning that minor experimental errors can potentially affect the reliability of these measures. This study aimed to ...
Multisegment Kinematics of the Spinal Column: Soft Tissue Artifacts Assessment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A major challenge in the assessment of intersegmental spinal column angles during trunk motion is the inherent error in recording the movement of bony anatomical landmarks caused by soft tissue artifacts (STAs). This study ...
Optimal Estimation of Anthropometric Parameters for Quantifying Multisegment Trunk Kinetics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Kinetics assessment of the human head-arms-trunk (HAT) complex via a multisegment model is a useful tool for objective clinical evaluation of several pathological conditions. Inaccuracies in body segment parameters (BSPs) ...
Design and Evaluation of an Instrumented Wobble Board for Assessing and Training Dynamic Seated Balance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Methods that effectively assess and train dynamic seated balance are critical for enhancing functional independence and reducing risk of secondary health complications in the elderly and individuals with neuromuscular ...
