Promoting enhanced motor planning in prosthesis users via matched limb imitation
… areas to successfully plan and execute tool-use movements and pantomimes. It was previously unclear how this network functioned in users of prostheses. The hypothesis of this dissertation is that in order to optimally engage the typical parietofrontal network during action imitation with a …

Theoretical prediction of joint reaction force in a dynamic general 3-d pendulum tree model for human or animal motion
… understand the dynamics of human and animal movement as well as the forces associated with those movements. In particular, this work focuses on predicting the dynamic reaction forces that are produced in the simple idealized frictionless joints of the pendulum system during motion. The …

Generation and Optimization of Quadrilateral and Hexahedral Meshes
… obtained from triangular meshes. Several techniques utilizing local and global operations for structure simplification have been proposed in this regard. Despite promising results, robustness, scalability, feature preservation and limitations of both local and global simplifications call …

Force And Electromyographic Responses To Ergometer Rowing
… athletes must maintain a skilfully co-ordinated movement technique. The ability to produce high force outputs during repetitive contractions is influenced by fatigue and dependent on a number of factors including neuromuscular activities. Neuromuscular activation may be expressed by amplitude and …
