High-pass filtering to remove electrocardiographic interference from torso EMG recordings
(Elsevier, 1993-01)
SummaryRemoval of electrocardiographic (ECG) contamination of electromyographic (EMG) signals from torso muscles is often attempted by high-pass filtering. This study investigated the effects of the cut-off frequency used ...
A kinematic model of the human hand to evaluate its prehensile capabilities
(Elsevier, 1992-02)
A kinematic model has been developed for simulation and prediction of the prehensile capabilities of the human hand. The kinematic skeleton of the hand is characterized by ideal joints and simple segments. Finger-joint ...
Lumbar muscle size and locations from CT scans of 96 women of age 40 to 63 years
(Elsevier, 1990-02)
Computed tomography scans of 96 women aged between 40 and 63 years were systematically measured to determine torso muscle moment arms and cross-sectional areas at L2/L3, L3/L4 and L4/L5 disc levels. The major findings were ...
Validation of a biodynamic model of pushing and pulling
(Elsevier, 1991)
Pushing and pulling during manual material handling can increase the compressive forces on the lumbar disc region while creating high shear forces at the shoe-floor interface. A sagittal plane dynamic model derived from ...
A method of measuring fingertip loading during keyboard use
(Elsevier, 1994-08)
A single keycap on a standard alphanumeric computer keyboard was instrumented with a piezoelectric load cell and the fingertip motion was recorded with a high-speed video motion analysis system. Contact force histories ...
