Abstract:
A procedure for averaging trunk dynamometric positions, velocities, and torques is described which enables identification and parameterization of kinematic movement patterns. This technique is accurate and presents the data in a very compact way, which is ideal for storage and analysis. It can be applied to many types of movement analyses. Application of the technique to the analysis of flexion-extension movement patterns in two low back pain patients is described.

As the drone's propellers rotate, an upward force is generated that counteracts the force of gravity, enabling the drone to lift off from the ground. This initial movement of the drone is along a straight path, representing a form of translational motion. In this phase, every point on the drone...
