Considering the flight phase of jumping motion, the number of muscle coordination patterns is more than four and the muscles are more freely organized since there is no contact force with the ground. To estimate the covariation of joint angles with extracted synergies is a rough task and may cause computational burden. The second one is about building a model for generating velocity-adapted jumping gait with muscle synergies, in which wavelets neural network is proposed to predict the reference gait pattern, while fuzzy inference system is adopted to merge these reference gaits in order to create more generalized gaits with different jumping rhythm. Taking the muscle activation coefficients as input signals, the output joint angles of …show more content…
In the case of dynamic motion such as jumping, an important fact in sEMG (surface Electromyogram) signal based control on exoskeletons, myoelectric prostheses, and rehabilitation gait is that multichannel sEMG signals contain mass data and vary greatly with time, which makes it difficult to generate compliant gait. To generate the gait pattern with muscle synergies is related to the problem of identifying the forward relationship between sEMG and resultant joint movement. So, we suppose that it is reasonable to apply the muscle synergies to simplify the generation of compliant dynamic gait, such as hopping, based on sEMG for biomechanical leg control. Two questions were analyzed and discussed in the paper, the first one concerning whether the same set of muscle synergies can explain the different phases of jumping movement with various velocities. Since vertical jumping is the fundamental movement pattern of dynamic motion, such as jumping, bouncing, and running, based on the above discussion, we will focus on generating flexible gait of vertical jumping with sEMG signals for biomechanical leg. Thus, the first problem that would be discussed in this paper is whether the same set of muscle synergies can explain the different phases of dynamic gait with various velocities. The
Next with a stimulation duration of 50us, the stimulus amplitude should be set to the maximal tolerable stimulus intensity. With stimulus frequency of 2Hz, observe and record the leg movement, increase it by 5Hz but should not exceed 50Hz. With the electrodes connected to the analogy output channel and ground of the DAQ board. With the corresponding LabVIEW program, the frequency and amplitude (voltage) of the stimulation supplied to the leg can be controlled. With this the “sweet spot” of the lowest amplitude and best frequency to cause evoked movement can be found and recorded. Now the stimulation frequency should be set to 10Hz and the duration of stimulation pulse to 5ms or less. The range if leg movement changes can be observed as amplitude changes. Electrical stimulation in increments of 0.01V should be delivered and the minimal voltage required to generate muscle twitch should be recorded. The pulse duration should then be increased by durations of 10ms and the minimum voltage should be recorded this should be repeated for a variety of pulse
Force summation is the combination of forces produced by different parts of the body (Kent, 2007). When a person is moving an object, several different parts of the body act together to maximize the force. The strongest and lowest body parts around the centre of gravity (trunk and thighs) move first, followed by the weaker, lighter and faster extremities (foot). This is known as sequential force summation and results in fast accelerations. When several body parts are used in a skill, their sequence and timing are important. Big muscle groups are used first progressed by smaller muscles and body parts (Government of Western Australia, 2011). My partner built up momentum during the run up and then correctly swung her kicking leg behind her body to generate speed which provides the body with energy and force to transfer onto the ball. However, she focused on her run up and leg movement too much and consequently her force was not concentrated in the correct way and didn’t effectively follow through. In future, my partner should kick the ball with an

Chanhansen leaves her daughter and by her doing this cause external conflict for sal. Because she did this sal gets angry and she doesn't share her emotions. "She was not returning" Because by chanhansen doing this it caused emotional greif but shes slowly but surely losing hope in her moms returnal and these quotes support my claim "rush,rush." And "slowdown,slowdown." I believe shes using it metaforicly so when it says rush rush she still has hope that her mom will come back but when it says slow down slow down because shes losing hope in her mothers reappearance.

TA muscle, a crucial muscle for foot lift during gait, and major player in maintaining balance and stability, demonstrated no significant differences during IDS, SS, and TDS on the affected side with the RE as compared to without the RE (P= 0.52780, P= 0.73530, P= 0.07592 respectively), but showed a significant difference during swing as stated above. In the TA muscle, there was no significant differences between the affected and unaffected limbs with RE (P>0.05). While there was no significant differences in EMG activation of the TA muscle without the RE during TDS and Swing, conversely there was a significant difference in IDS, and SS when comparing the affected and unaffected limbs (IDS: P=0.02631, SS: P=0.04539, TDS: P=0.06174, SW: P=0.09960). There was no significant
Jumping (bilateral): Hip and knee is in extension, while ankle is in plantar flexion, and shoulder abduction and flexion while in the air.
Flexibility is especially important to help with jumps and stunting. Flyers , the people on top of the stunt, should perform different body positions in the air. Some body positions include: heel stretches, arabesques, scales, and scorpions. For jumps, flexibility is required to be able to thrust your legs into the air, pointed and straight. The types of jumps include: toe-touch, hurdler, and pike.
The paper presents the force equation generated by the muscle group, the equation between the moment and the EMG signal. Use software to simulate the dynamics generated by the knee joint. Use the Arduino Uno driver to read signals from the EMG sensor, and store values to the SD card. Using Excel software to process data, create a status chart of the experimenter in knee flexion. The results show that the EMG signal readiness histogram has the same relationship as the dynamical simulation chart with the Matlab software. This is the basis for the calculation of the optimal parameters for the relationship between momentum produced by the muscle group and the EMG signal. In the next study, we will evaluate the baseline levels for patients with
An additional influence on Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird is mob mentality. Mob mentality is the reasoning behind why people join large groups with one common goal, also known as a mob (Smith). A mob is a huge group of people who assemble after an act of unfairness and who feel invisible due to the enormous amount of members (Edmonds). Often mobs are used in a negative way and produce harm to others (Smith). The majority of people who partake in a mob are doing so out of the peer pressure and sense of belonging to a large group (Smith). Furthermore, those who join the group are mainly joining while not thinking straight (Edmonds). People tend to do what others around them are doing, therefore a numerous amount of people do not even think
“The analysis of movement provides an athlete with optimal development as well as minimising the risk of developing injuries through the incorrect execution of a movement” (Ackland, Elliott & Bloomfield, 2009, p 301).

The authors conducted this study to see how and when this ability in humans evolved by studying the mechanics used in throwing. They compared the mechanics of throwing of humans to that of chimpanzees. The authors said that previous studies found that the internal rotator muscles are responsible fort the power of the human throw. The investigators hypothesize that the elastic energy storage is the important source for this power. They also stated that other features of the human shoulder are important in storing this energy and
With no previous experience with engineering, a great deal of my knowledge for the subject comes from studying mathematics, physics and computer science at A-Level. In preparation to study engineering at university, I have decided to read the books “Think like an engineer” by Guru Madhavan and “Cats’ Paws and Catapults” by Steven Vogel. The reason behind this was to grasp the methods in which a skilled engineer would think and enhance basic knowledge about the effects of materials and forces. My aim for the future would be to use my engineering knowledge to create more efficient mechanical limbs that may allow amputees to run and jump. From my reading, I have gained awareness of how natural tendons have certain physical properties that allow them to function efficiently. This include very low strain which allows the animal to rebound without wasting high energy, as the animal takes a stride the tendon compresses and absorbs energy, it then releases it when the animal springs forward. From the books, I have also gathered the difference in the walking and running in terms of motion, energy storage and efficiency. Developing such knowledge at undergraduate level will hopefully
