The loss of range of motion (ROM) in the upper extremities can interfere with activities of
daily living (ADL) and, therefore, many interventions focus on improving impaired ROM. The …

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

Background Functional range of motion is defined as the required range of motions for
individuals to maintain maximal independence, along with optimal conditions for activities of …

Background Optical motion capture is a powerful tool for assessing upper body kinematics,
including compensatory movements, in different populations. However, the lack of a …

Since the release of the first Kinect in 2011, low-cost technologies for upper-limb evaluation
has been employed frequently for rehabilitation purposes. However, a limited number of …

Quantifying angular joint kinematics of the upper body is a useful method for assessing
upper limb function. Joint angles are commonly obtained via motion capture, tracking …

Background Successful hand-object interactions require precise hand-eye coordination with
continual movement adjustments. Quantitative measurement of this visuomotor behaviour …

Due to the complex coupling motion of shoulder mechanism, only a small amount of
quantitative information is available in the existing literature, although various kinematic …

Abstract Objectives Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) are a valid alternative to optical
tracking systems for human motion capture, but they are subject to several disturbances that …

The influence of the hip joint formulation on the kinematic response of the model of human
gait is investigated throughout this work. To accomplish this goal, the fundamental issues of …
