Estimation of distal arm joint angles from EMG and shoulder orientation for transhumeral prostheses
Prior studies have shown that shoulder orientation and upper-arm electromyography (EMG), taken separately, are predictors of both elbow flexion/extension and forearm pronation/supination during arm movements. In this thesis, we quantify the extent to which shoulder orientation, upper-arm EMG, and …

Determining Upper Extremity Posture Using a Simplified Marker Configuration for Biomechanical Risk Evaluation during Tool Use
… the accuracy when calculating upper extremity orientations. One modification of the method was that anatomical planes were calculated by defining orthogonal axes at the chest and rotating the axes to account for the slope of the chest. By defining the anatomical axes using anatomical landmarks …
