The rising importance of movement analysis led to the development of more complex
biomechanical models to describe in detail the human motion patterns. The models scaled …

Quantifying three-dimensional upper body kinematics can be a valuable method for
assessing upper limb function. Considering that kinematic model characteristics, performed …

The validation of two noninvasive methods for measuring the dynamic three-dimensional
kinematics of the human scapula with a magnetic tracking device is presented. One method …

Kinematic analysis of the upper extremity has been conducted using a wide variety of
techniques, philosophies, and analytic methods. We describe a simple, marker-based three …

Upper extremity (UX) movement analysis by means of 3D kinematics has the potential to
become an important clinical evaluation method. However, no standardized protocol for …

High rotational torques during baseball pitching are believed to be linked to most overuse
injuries at the shoulder. This study investigated the effects of trunk rotation on shoulder …

Inertial and magnetic measurement systems (IMMSs) are a new generation of motion
analysis systems which may diffuse the measurement of upper-limb kinematics to …
