Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to describe various kinematic variables of the skating stride. A data set for five collegiate hockey players was completed (mean +/- SD: age = 22.0 +/- 1.0 years, height = 1.77 +/- 0.06 m, weight = 80.0 +/- 8.5 kg). Three velocities were examined on the skating treadmill: slow (12 km/hr), medium (18 km/hr) and fast (24 km/hr). Electrogoniometers at the hip (H), knee (K) and ankle (ANK) were used to acquire angular displacement and velocity profiles. A trend for increasing range of motion and a significant (p < 0.05) increase in stride rate was observed with

Abstract:
This research work presents a physiologically accurate and novel computationally fast neuromusculoskeletal model of the human lower limb stiffness. The proposed computational framework uses electromyographic signals, motion capture data and ground reaction forces to predict the force developed by 43 musculotendon actuators. The estimated forces are then used to compute the musculotendon stiffness and the corresponding joint stiffness. The estimations at each musculotendon unit is constrained to simultaneously satisfy the joint angles and the joint moments of force generated with respect to fiv

Human locomotion often requires the performance of submaximal, repeated and rhythmical efforts over an extended period of time.

Further, it is unknown if there are differences in movement strategies between the sexes during extended and fatiguing locomotive tasks. The aims of this

Overview. Neuromuscular fatigue is defined as a reversible exercise-induced reduction in the ability to produce maximal voluntary force or power, originating from central (upper and lower motoneurons) and peripheral (skeletal muscle) sources. It is a symptom that can reduce exercise performance, diminish quality of life, and impair activities of daily living across a wide range of populations. In the lower-limb, the knee extensor muscles are of particular importance as they largely contribute to the execution of functional motor tasks (e.g. locomotion, sit to stand, climbing stairs).

Abstract:
Postural control is achieved through complex interactions between different neural networks. While it is difficult to isolate the contribution of any individual system, somatosensory information from the lower limbs provides a sensitive measure of postural sway during quiet stance (Fitzpatrick and McCloskey 1994). Furthermore, these signals initiate postural responses to perturbations to permit accurate realignment of the body after a disturbance in stance (Inglis et al. 1994). One possible source of this essential information, although not clear, is thought to originate in cutaneous mec

Abstract:
The Na+,K+-ATPase (NKA) is a key protein involved in the maintenance of skeletal muscle excitability and comprises 2 subunits (α and β), each of which express multiple isoforms at a protein level in skeletal muscle (α1-3 and β1-3). The fibre-specific expression, adaptability and roles of each isoform in human skeletal muscle are explored in this thesis. Research utilising muscle biopsies typically uses samples obtained from the vastus lateralis muscle, which in healthy young people comprises similar proportions of type I and II fibres. Analyses using whole muscle pieces don’t allow the detecti

碩士<br>國立交通大學<br>電控工程研究所<br>100<br>Recently, the problem of aging population becomes more serious. How to take good care of the elderly is an important issue around the world. Along with the progress of the medical and robot technology, several robot walking helpers have been developed. It motivates us to develop a robot walking helper, named i-go, in our laboratory for assisting the lives of the elderly. In the thesis, we propose estimating the human state by analyzing the angles of the lower limbs and the center of gravity(COG) of human body, and develop the corresponding assistive strategies

Abstract:
In this paper we use multivariate statistical techniques to gain insights into how adaptive gait involving obstacle crossing is regulated in lower-limb amputees compared to able-bodied controls, with the aim of identifying underlying characteristics that differ between the two groups and consequently highlighting gait deficits in the amputees. Eight unilateral trans-tibial amputees and twelve able-bodied controls completed adaptive gait trials involving negotiating various height obstacles; with amputees leading with their prosthetic limb.

Abstract:
The study of movement has always fascinated artists, photographers and researchers. Across the years, several attempts to capture, freeze, study and reproduce motion were made. Nowadays, motion capture plays an important role within many fields, from graphical animation, filmmaking, virtual reality, till medicine. In fact, movement analysis allows to measure kinematic and kinetic performance of the human body. The quantitative data obtained from measurements may support the diagnosis and treatment of many pathologies, allowing to take clinical decisions and supporting the follow-up of treatme

碩士<br>正修科技大學<br>機電工程研究所<br>102<br>The human knee joint which contributes the kinematic function and bears the whole body weight during body motion is one of the most complicate joints of human body. The motion of human knee joint motion is not a pure rotation. From kinematic viewpoint, the poloade or centrode is one of the most efficient ways to describe the kinetic characteristics of human knee joints. The discrete photograph method is the most common way to construct the polode of human knee joints in many studies. The accuracy is always the major issue that has to be improved. In this study
