2. 1. Methods for analysis of 3D movement of the trunk during treadmill locomotion

   Author : Virgil P Stokes; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : human. trunk. Iocomotion. kinematics. 3D. treadmill Stockhtolm 1997;

   Abstract : Human locomotion is a common activity and although much progress has been made in the analysis and modeling of movement, we still have a rather limited understanding of the basic mechanisms of normal locomotion. A full understanding requires the integration of the underlying neural mechanisms with the 3D dynamics (kinetics + kinematics) of locomotion. READ MORE

4. 2. Biomechanical consequences of gait impairment at the ankle and foot : Injury, malalignment, and co-contraction

   Author : Ruoli Wang; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Eva Broström; Eriksson Anders; Ilse Jonkers; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; muscle function; gait analysis; induced acceleration; foot kinematics; dynamic joint stiffness;

   Abstract : The human foot contributes significantly to the function of the whole lower extremity during standing and locomotion. Nevertheless, the foot and ankle often suffer injuries and are affected by many musculoskeletal and neurological pathologies. READ MORE

5. 3. Model-based Methods in Motion Capture

   Author : Kjartan Halvorsen; Antonie J. van den Bogert; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Systems engineering; Systemteknik; Systemanalys; Systems Analysis;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns the use of kinematic models and shape models to solve the problem of estimating the motion of articulated objects from image data. The data considered in the first part of the thesis are trajectories of 3D feature points (markers). In the second part, image sequences are considered. READ MORE
