Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

1.8K
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...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

3.2K
The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...

Kinematic Equations for Rotation01:30

Kinematic Equations for Rotation

328
In mechanics, when one observes a rigid body in rotational motion with constant angular acceleration, it is possible to establish equations for its rotational kinematics. This process resembles how linear kinematics are dealt with in simpler motion studies.
For instance, imagine a point A on a rigid body engaged in circular motion. The translational velocity of this particular point can be calculated by taking the time derivatives of the displacement equation, which essentially measures the...

Kinematic Equations: Problem Solving

12.4K
When analyzing one-dimensional motion with constant acceleration, the problem-solving strategy involves identifying the known quantities and choosing the appropriate kinematic equations to solve for the unknowns. Either one or two kinematic equations are needed to solve for the unknowns, depending on the known and unknown quantities. Generally, the number of equations required is the same as the number of unknown quantities in the given example. Two-body pursuit problems always require two...

Relative Motion Analysis using Rotating Axes-Problem Solving

406
Consider a crane whose telescopic boom rotates with an angular velocity of 0.04 rad/s and angular acceleration of 0.02 rad/s2. Along with the rotation, the boom also extends linearly with a uniform speed of 5 m/s. The extension of the boom is measured at point D, which is measured with respect to the fixed point C on the other end of the boom. For the given instant, the distance between points C and D is 60 meters.
Here, in order to determine the magnitude of velocity and acceleration for point...

Relative Motion Analysis - Velocity01:24

Relative Motion Analysis - Velocity

A stroke engine has a slider-crank mechanism that converts rotational motion from the crank into linear motion of the slider or vice versa. This mechanism consists of three main parts: the crank, the connecting rod, and the slider.
When an external force is exerted, it sets the crank into a rotational movement. This, in turn, instigates the motion of the connecting rod, leading to what is referred to as a general plane motion. This process involves two key points - point A on the connecting rod...

    Area of Science:

    • Robotics
    • Biomechanics
    • Rehabilitation Engineering

    Background:

    • Rehabilitation exoskeletons are crucial for stroke recovery, requiring human-like motion for effective Activities of Daily Living (ADL) assistance.
    • Current motion generation algorithms often neglect shoulder girdle dynamics and rely solely on inverse kinematics (IK) for final configurations, limiting natural movement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an integrated algorithm for generating human-like arm and shoulder girdle motion for rehabilitation exoskeletons.
    • To improve the naturalness and ergonomics of exoskeleton-assisted ADL performance.

    Main Methods:

    • An algorithm was developed that integrates inverse kinematics (IK) with a bell-shaped velocity profile for arm movement, independent of the final configuration.
    • The algorithm ensures natural, passive motion of the shoulder girdle concurrently with arm trajectory generation.
    • Generated motions were mapped to the configuration space of exoskeletons.

    Main Results:

    • The generated motion demonstrated human-like characteristics, validated against motion capture data.
    • Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) for wrist trajectory in task space was within 0.2, and the High Probability Density Interval (HPDI) was within 0.17.
    • Joint space RMSE values were within 15 degrees, confirming motion fidelity.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed algorithm successfully generates human-like motion for rehabilitation exoskeletons by considering both arm and shoulder girdle dynamics.
    • This approach enhances the potential for more effective and ergonomic rehabilitation by improving the quality of human-robot interaction during ADLs.
