Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

5.5K
Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

Anatomical Movements00:51

Anatomical Movements

13.7K
Anatomical movements refer to the various actions or motions that can be performed by the body's joints and muscles. These movements are described using specific terms to provide a standardized way of discussing and understanding the range of motion at different joints.
Here are some common anatomical movements:
Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of motion. These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist,...

Summary

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) can predict parameters of discrete human arm movement submovements. This forms a closed-loop model for generating 3D arm trajectories, aiding brain-computer interface prosthetic development.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Robotics
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Human arm movements are complex and often modeled as combinations of simpler components.
  • Understanding these components is crucial for developing advanced human-computer interfaces.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the representation of 3D human arm reaches using discrete submovements.
  • To evaluate the capability of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) in predicting submovement parameters.
  • To develop a closed-loop model for predicting 3D arm trajectories.

Main Methods:

  • Decomposition of experimental 3D arm kinematic data into minimum-jerk submovements using an optimization algorithm.
  • Training deterministic feed-forward Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) on experimentally obtained kinematic data.
  • Cross-validation of ANNs for predicting submovement initiation-time, amplitude, and duration.

Main Results:

  • ANNs accurately predicted parameters of individual submovements.
  • The developed closed-loop model achieved >95.9% Variance Accounted For (VAF).
  • The model demonstrated high accuracy with Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) ≤4.32 cm.

Conclusions:

  • 3D human arm reaches can be effectively modeled as linear combinations of discrete submovements.
  • ANNs provide a viable method for predicting submovement parameters and generating arm trajectories.
  • This research contributes to the development of practical arm trajectory generators for brain-computer interface-controlled prosthetics.
