Soft tissue artefact (STA), ie the motion of the skin, fat and muscles gliding on the underlying
bone, may lead to a marker position error reaching up to 8.7 cm for the particular case of the …

In this survey, we review the field of human shoulder functional kinematic representations.
The central question of this review is to evaluate whether the current approaches in shoulder …

The rapid introduction of sophisticated computers, services, telecommunications systems,
and manufacturing systems has caused a major shift in the way people use and work with …

Two important goals of ergonomics are the comfort, and the health and safety of workers. In
many ways these are mutually compatible, for where health and safety is jeopardized, the …

Computing and modifying in real-time the trajectory of an industrial robot involved in a
Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) scenario is a challenging problem, mainly because of …

Upper-arm evaluation including shoulder motion in physiotherapy has no three-dimensional
tool for an arm-functioning evaluation, which hampers an uniform, objective comparison …

This paper presents a humanoid robotic shoulder complex and the kinematics of humanoid
humeral pointing as performed by this complex. The humanoid shoulder complex is …

In this paper, the analysis of the intensity of muscle activations in different subjects when
they perform an industrial task in a repetitive way assisted by a robotic upper-limb …

In physiotherapy, a standard method to determine the movability and functionality of the
human arm is to measure the ranges of motion in joints in sagittal, horizontal and frontal …

This paper provides a brief review of the published literature on the subject of kinematics
and kinetics of the human arm and shoulder mechanism, specifically when performing the …
