The objective of the study is to determine the efficiency of Integral of the Time-Weighted Absolute Value of the Error (ITAE) and Integral of the Absolute of the Error (IAE) methods as a way of tuning controllers for a functional electrical stimulation cycle ergometer system. These systems provide aid for people with a damaged spinal cord. The methodology was to find a mathematical model to describe...
The aim of the research presented in this paper is to demonstrate and report the initial validation results emphasizing the capabilities of a novel, fully automated cycle ergometer that (1) allows faster, repeatable and more accurate adjustments to bicycle geometry via motor controlled actuators and (2) permits the inclusion of resistance profiles via a motor driven linkage to the cranks. The automated...
Nearly 1.3 million people in the United States suffer from spinal cold injury (SCI) [1], which leads to numerous secondary health conditions such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Within one year of injury, bone density decreases rapidly to osteoporotic condition. This study aims to measure the kinetics and kinematics of rowing in order to assess rehabilitation progress and to...
This paper presents the development of FES-assisted abdominal exercise that specially designed for persons with neurological disorder such as stroke. A model of modified abs flex exercise equipment namely abdominal exercise ergometer and the humanoid models were developed using the dynamic simulation software. The body composition of the humanoid model is based on the anthropometric data. Based on...
The objective of the research outlined in this paper is to develop a novel cycle ergo meter that incorporates (1) a faster, more accurate automatic bike set-up and adjustment for individual cyclists with greater repeatability and (2) the personalized torque, angular displacement and angular velocity profiles generated via mathematical models of cycling performance from experimental road trial data...
Now-a-days, it is a very common trend for youth to go for regular gymnasium for muscular body building or eliminating extra fat. Most of the equipments used for these purposes are generally for indoor exercises. Thus there is least scope of rigorous outdoor exercise in open air environment. An attempt has been made by the present authors to develop a concept model of Ergometer which is to be installed...
This paper proposes the interaction physical-activity housekeeper (IPAH) in physical activity for silver-haired citizen. It consists of the pulse sound receiver (PSR), ergometer, bluetooth module, and smart phone. The silver-haired citizen has various physical activity levels can enhance the quality of life, cardiovascular fitness, and strength of lower limbs. Therefore, it is recommended that the...
This paper compares the radial artery pulses of 105 young graduate students. The radial artery pulses after performing progressive ergometer for five minutes are different from those at rest. All the pulses become floating and fast. The contours of pulses have three kinds of variability. The incisures of 39 subjects become especially low; sometimes the incisures are lower than the onset of pulse waveform...
An ergometer has been developed with the object of kinesitherapeutic exercise of the lower extremities for the purpose of neurological re-education. The main advantage of this system is its ability to select the main group of muscles necessary for a specific movement by changing the position of the body and controlling the load of the ergometer.<<ETX>>
The purpose of this study was to compare maximal central hemodynamic responses of spinal-cord-injured quadriplegic subjects to voluntary arm-crank exercise (ACE) and to electrically induced leg cycling exercise. Six C6-C7 quadriplegic men performed graded exercises to maximum with both an arm-crank ergometer and a leg-cycle ergometer, utilizing functional neuromuscular stimulation (FNS) of paralyzed...
