Introduction: With the rapid evolution of mobile devices, there is also a tremendous growth in their applications. This triggers new research on more efficient techniques of human-computer interaction. To point at an object ...

Body sway measured by force platform is an excellent simple test for diagnostics of locomotory, balance, visual and neural disorders. In this study the body sway parameters have been measured on a group of healthy medical ...

One of most common ways to examine the quality of the patient’s upper extremity (UE) function is measuring the movement’s kinematic parameters during the motion. However, is it reliable to compare a patient’s UE motions ...

Article presents hodographs of the arterial blood pressure relation to heart-rate enabling to evaluate organism sensitivity of trained weightlifter to the magnitude of lifted weight, lifting technique and weight repeatability. ...

Biomechanics of legs of different families of insects is studied. Geometry of different pairs of legs designed for walking, running, swimming, digging and other tasks has been measured on entomological collections. ...

Characteristic points of the law of motion were determined based on the results of experimental study on the velocities and accelerations of the lifted barbell. Relationship between the height of the athlete, lifted weight, ...

In this paper we investigate influence of the dance (lindy hop) therapy on the Parkinson’s disease affected upper limb biomechanics. Wireless inertial sensors were used to measure acceleration and angular velocity during ...
