Sentence examples for foot segment from inspiring English sources

Visual3D software (C-motion, Inc., Rockville, MD, USA) was used to build segmented foot models which comprised the shank, a single foot segment, rearfoot, midfoot, lateral forefoot, 1st metatarsal and hallux, based on the surface marker coordinates.

The proposed orthosis has one degree of freedom which foot segment is connected to the shank segment by a rotational joint.

A feedback with Proportional-Integral-Derivative control (PID control) was used to estimate the trajectory of the foot and positioning the actuated foot segment of the AFO when the foot rotates about the ankle.

Each foot segment must be tracked with at least three skin-mounted markers, but for these markers to be visible to an optical motion capture system holes or 'windows' must be cut into the structure of the shoe.

Similar results were obtained from human gait data, with the highest variations observed in the transverse plane kinematics and in the foot segment, suggesting that successful calibration procedures of different durations and performed in different volumes did not affect the metrological performance of the investigated systems.

A sound understanding of how diverse functions are implemented in a simple foot segment during human locomotion might be useful to gain insight into the overall foot locomotor functions and hence to facilitate clinical diagnosis, rehabilitation product design and humanoid robot development.

This study determines if this muscle activity is also confirmed for individual foot segments defined in multi-segment foot models used for clinical gait analysis.

The study provides an impetus for improved orthotic and bracing designs to aid in the care of distal foot segments during the treatment of PTTD.

They have thin antennae, hind legs modified for jumping, three-jointed tarsal (foot) segments, and two slender abdominal sensory appendages (called cerci).

A questionnaire was designed that asked for nine functions at six decisive foot segments (heel, metatarsal, forefoot; lateral, medial); 1) optimal roll off, 2) cushioning, 3) force transmission, 4) feet support, 5) bedding, 6) secure step, 7) avoid slipping 8) avoid pressure and 9) avoid pain.

This paper proposes a new protocol designed to track a large number of foot segments during the stance phase of gait with the smallest possible number of markers, with particular clinical focus on coronal plane alignment of the rear-foot, transverse and sagittal plane alignment of the metatarsal bones, and changes at the medial longitudinal arch.
