“…Some scales were developed with the objective of assessing the function of the UL movement only among children with cerebral palsy, qualitatively, and these provide a subjective description by means of scores based on observational assessments of the motor performance during the execution of tasks. The tridimensional kinematics of the UULL is technically more challenging, due to the great complexity of the shoulder joint movement 11 . However, biomechanical models for UL have been used 8,12 , and studies that assess functional tasks with the use of this tool have been described in literature for the infant population with cerebral palsy, mostly in the hemiparetic spastic type, for being more prevalent 13 .…”

| The aim of this study was to verify relation between kinematic variables of temporal-spatial parameters and manual ability and between own temporal-spatial variables during the movement of bring a mug to the mouth in adults with dyskinetic cerebral palsy (DCP). Sixteen adults with DCP were evaluated by MACS (Manual Ability Classification System), and by temporal-spatial variables of tridimensional kinematics of the movement to bring a bug to the mouth by means of 9 cameras infra-red Vicon ® MX 40 (Oxford Metrics Group, Oxford, UK). The Spearman correlation coefficient (ρ) was used to correlate variables. As a result, we found weak correlation between the classification of manual ability and the adjusting phase (ρ=0.219), the velocity variables − average velocity (ρ=-0.313), peak velocity (ρ=-0.282) and time to peak velocity (ρ=-0.250).No correlation was found between the variables going and returning phase and MACS. Moderate correlation was found between going and returning phase (ρ=0.559), between the going phase and time to peak velocity (ρ=0.518) and between the adjusting phase and peak velocity (ρ=-0.562). A strong correlation was found between the mean velocity and peak velocity (ρ=0.947) and between the adjusting phase and average velocity (ρ=-0.635).In conclusion, functional impairment may be related to longer adjusting phase and decrease of movement speed in subjects with PCD. Kinematic variables were related toCorrelation between temporal-spatial parameters and manual ability of adults with dyskinetic cerebral palsy each other in moderate and strong way and indicated that the phases runtime influences the movement speed.

“…La evaluación dentro de la biomecánica es fá-cilmente identificable y mesurable comparado con otras aproximaciones, particularmente para la medición directa de variables biomecánicas tales como fuerza muscular, dirección y amplitud del movimiento (14), torques, velocidad y aceleración de segmentos corporales (15), frecuencia cardiaca y respiratoria (16), reclutamiento de fibras musculares en una contracción durante determinada actividad (17-19), patrones de movimiento en diferentes actividades y condiciones, tal es el caso de investigaciones que desarrollan dispositivos de tecnología en rehabilitación para evaluar el movimiento tembloroso (21), la propulsión de silla de ruedas (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29), los sistemas de posicionamiento (30) o las áreas de presión en posición sedente (31-33) entre otras. Actualmente se cuenta con toda suerte de instrumentos desarrollados desde la ingeniería biomédica, ejemplos de éstos son dinamómetros, electrogoniómetros, hardware y software para el análisis computarizado del movimiento, espirómetros, por mencionar algunos (20).…”

“…Definitions of physiological ranges and detection of pathological changes in movements open an increasingly valuable clinical field of application. If, however, the primary function of the upper extremities as highly variable and adaptive organ for manipulating tasks is the subject of interest, the situation becomes considerably more complex [9]. It is necessarily to determine mass-inertial characteristics in order to study human movement and its mechanics [10].…”

“…Generally, in order to study the human dynamics of different postures, one unavoidably has to determine mass inertial characteristics of human body in different positions. These characteristics are, obviously, individual and depend on the size of body segments and their mass [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

Abstract. The aim of the present research is to present a 16-segmental biomechanical model of the Bulgarian male to determine the mass-inertial characteristics of the body of the Bulgarian male based on parameters available in the literature and its 3D generation within SolidWorks software. The motivation of the research is to support mainly sport, rehabilitation, wearable robots and furniture design users. The proposed CAD model of the human body of men is verified against the analytical results from our previous investigation, as well as through comparison with data available in the provided references. In this paper we model two basic human body positions: standing position and sitting with thighs elevated. The comparison performed between our model results and data reported in literature gives us confidence that this model can be reliably used to calculate the mass-inertial characteristics of male body at any postures of the body that is of interest. Therefore, our model can be used to obtain data for positions which the human body has to take in everyday live, in sport, leisure, including space exploration, for investigating criminology casesbody fall, car crash, etc. The model is suitable for performing computer simulation in robotics, medicine, sport and other areas.
