A key problem for biological motor control is to establish a link between an idea of a
movement and the generation of a set of muscle-stimulating signals that lead to the …

An approach to the dynamic analysis of parallel manipulators is presented. The proposed
method, based on the theory of screws and on the principle of virtual work, allows a …

With the increased application of model-based whole-body control in legged robots, there
has been a resurgence of research interest into methods for accurate system identification …

Construction workers are commonly subjected to ergonomic risks. Accurate ergonomic
assessment is needed to reduce ergonomic risks. However, the diverse and dynamic nature …

In a pair of recent contributions by the authors of this paper, it has been shown that screw
theory can be successfully employed in the acceleration analysis of open and closed spatial …

After three decades of computational multibody system (MBS) dynamics, current research is
centered at the development of compact and user-friendly yet computationally efficient …

Determining the internal dynamics of the human spine's biological structure is one essential
step that allows enhanced understanding of spinal degeneration processes. The …

Screw and Lie group theory allows for user-friendly modeling of multibody systems (MBS),
and at the same they give rise to computationally efficient recursive algorithms. The inherent …

The aim of the present study was to measure during a sprint start the joint angular velocity
and the kinetic energy of the different segments in elite sprinters. This was performed using …

The load distribution among lumbar spinal structures—still an unanswered question—has
been in the focus of this hybrid experimental and simulation study. First, the overall passive …
