A geometric approach to three-dimensional hipped bipedal robotic walking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This paper presents a control law that results in stable walking for a three-dimensional bipedal robot with a hip. To obtain this control law, we utilize techniques from geometric reduction, and specifically a variant of Routhian reduction termed ...

Egocentric Reference Frame Bias In The Palmar Haptic Perception Of Surface Orientation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The effect of egocentric reference frames on palmar haptic perception of orientation was investigated in vertically separated locations in a sagittal plane. Reference stimuli to be haptically matched were presented either haptically (to the contralateral

Non-structural misalignments of body posture in the sagittal plane

open access: yesScoliosis and Spinal Disorders, 2018
BackgroundThe physiological sagittal spinal curvature represents a typical feature of good body posture in the sagittal plane. The cervical and the lumbar spine are curved anteriorly (lordosis), while the thoracic segment is curved posteriorly (kyphosis).

Discrepancies in Knee Joint Moments Using Common Anatomical Frames Defined by Different Palpable Landmarks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The aim was to investigate the effects of three anatomical frames using palpable anatomical landmarks of the knee on the net knee joint moments. The femoral epicondyles, femoral condyles, and tibial ridges were used to define the different anatomical ...

Three-dimensional ankle moments and nonlinear summation of rat triceps surae muscles. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The Achilles tendon and epimuscular connective tissues mechanically link the triceps surae muscles. These pathways may cause joint moments exerted by each muscle individually not to sum linearly, both in magnitude and direction.

Behavioral Deficits and Axonal Injury Persistence after Rotational Head Injury Are Direction Dependent [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Pigs continue to grow in importance as a tool in neuroscience. However, behavioral tests that have been validated in the rodent model do not translate well to pigs because of their very different responses to behavioral stimuli.

Sagittal Plane Hip, Knee, and Ankle Biomechanics and the Risk of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury: A Prospective Study

open access: yesOrthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2017
Background: Stiff landings with less knee flexion and high vertical ground-reaction forces have been shown to be associated with an increased risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.

Sagittal Plane Trunk Tilt Is Associated With Upper Extremity Joint Moments and Ball Velocity in Collegiate Baseball Pitchers

open access: yesOrthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2018
Background: The trunk is a major contributor to the kinetic chain during baseball pitching by helping to transfer energy from the lower limbs to produce the desired ball speed. However, most of the research detailing the trunk’s contribution to the pitch

Study of the Distortion of the Indirect Angular Measurements of the Calcaneus Due to Perspective: In Vitro Testing

open access: yesSensors, 2021
The study of the foot is relevant in kinematic analyses of gait. Images captured through a lens can be subjected to various aberrations or distortions that affect the measurements.

Kinematic Foot Types in Youth with Equinovarus Secondary to Hemiplegia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background Elevated kinematic variability of the foot and ankle segments exists during gait among individuals with equinovarus secondary to hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP). Clinicians have previously addressed such variability by developing classification
