EFFECTS OF RUNNING SURFACE STIFFNESS ON THREE-SEGMENT FOOT KINEMATICS RESPONSES WITH DIFFERENT SHOD CONDITIONS

Effects of Running Surface Stiffness on Three-Segment Foot Kinematics Responses with Different Shod Conditions

Objective.The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of surface stiffness on multisegment foot kinematics and temporal parameters during running.Methods.Eighteen male subjects ran on three different surfaces (i.e., concrete, artificial Dispensers grass, and rubber) in both heeled running shoes (HS) and minimal running shoes (MS).Both thes

EMG-Based Continuous Estimation of Index Finger Movements With Varying Interjoint Coordination Patterns by Modeling Musculoskeletal Dynamics

Surface electromyography (EMG) is widely used for predicting kinematics of intended finger movements in applications including teleoperation.Generally, ‘black-box’ models with high complexity such as neural networks (NN) were used to improve prediction accuracy, which may not reproduce other important movement characteristics such as
