AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
To better understand normative behavior for quantitative evaluation of motor recovery after injury, we studied arm movements by non-injured Rhesus monkeys during a food-retrieval task. While seated, monkeys reached, grasped, and retrieved food items. We re ...
By improving spatial and anatomical specificity, localized spectroscopy can enhance the power and accuracy of the quantitative analysis of cellular metabolism and bioenergetics. Localized and nonlocalized dynamic 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy using a ...
Muscle lengths and moment arms are important parameters of musculoskeletal models. These data determine muscle forces and moments and thus joint contact forces, an important value in musculoskeletal biomechanics. In the literature, there are many data avai ...
The shoulder is often described as the most complex human joint because of its anatomy and the high number of muscles participating in arm movements. The anatomy and the development of muscles depend on personal characteristics and the style of living. The ...
The goal of the present work was assess the feasibility of using a pseudo-inverse and null-space optimization approach in the modeling of the shoulder biomechanics. The method was applied to a simplified musculoskeletal shoulder model. The mechanical syste ...
The shoulder is one of the most complex joints of the human body, mainly because of its large range of motion, but also because of its active muscular stabilisation. Actually, the numerous stabilizing muscles and degrees of freedom yield indeterminate biom ...
Limb length discrepancy (LLD) is defined as a condition in which limbs are unequal. The asymmetric load of body segments secondary to LLD may cause a tonic contraction of back and lower limb muscles, thus resulting in subtle cutaneous temperature variation ...
We describe the muscle synergies accompanying steering of walking along curved trajectories, in order to analyze the simultaneous control of progression and balance-threatening emerging forces. For this purpose, we bilaterally recorded in ten subjects the ...
Sensory feedback from the moving limbs contributes to the regulation of animal and human locomotion. However, the question of the specific role of the various modalities is still open. Further, functional loss of leg afferent fibres due to peripheral neuro ...
This thesis is the first to be carried out within the framework of the project "Cyberthosis for Paraplegics" in progress at the "Laboratoire de Systèmes Robotiques" (LSRO) of the "Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne" (EPFL). This project, initiated in ...
