The foot and ankle contribute significantly to postural control by providing a contact area to the support surface. Persons with visual and neuromuscular disorders have deficits in response to perturbations of balance and often require assistive devices. This work investigated to posture analysis by using plantar pressure measurements coupled with an EMG analog signal processor. The output signals...
Aim: The purpose of the paper is to investigate autofluorescence characteristics of tissues (mainly the adipose tissue) and organs in various places of the exercising rats. Methods: The laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique is used to research into autofluorescence characteristics of tissues and organs of various places of the exercising rats after one medium-intensity treadmill exercise up to...
Prolonged static standing caused less freedom to move around and rest the muscles. This lack of flexibility in choosing body position contributes to health problems. It will accelerate fatigue besides discomfort, aching feet and swelling on leg. The aim of this study is to investigate the muscle activity and body discomfort while standing. Twelve subjects (seven females and five males) participated...
In this paper, we present an under-actuated model of human walking, comprising only a soleus muscle and flexion/extension monoarticular hip muscles. The remaining muscle groups of the human leg are modeled using quasi-passive, series-elastic clutch elements. We hypothesize that series-elastic clutch units spanning the knee joint in a musculoskeletal arrangement can capture the dominant mechanical...
