A computer vision-based application for the assessment of head posture: A validation and reliability study
(2023-03-01)
Article
Open AccessAs its name implies, the forward head position (FHP) is when the head is further forward of the trunk than normal. This can cause neck and shoulder tension, as well as headaches. The craniovertebral angle (CVA) measured ... -
A coordinate-free approach to tracing the coupler curves of pin-jointed linkages
(ASME PRESS, 2011)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn general, high-order coupler curves of plane mechanisms cannot be properly traced by standard predictor-corrector algorithms due to drifting problems and the presence of singularities. Instead of focusing on finding ... -
A factorization-based algorithm to predict EMG data using only kinematics information
(2021-07-08)
Article
Open AccessEMG analyses have several applications, such as identifying muscle excitation patterns during rehabilitation or training plans, or controlling EMG-driven devices. However, experimental measurements can be time consuming ... -
A Fault hiding approach for the sliding mode fault-tolerant control of a non-holonomic mobile robot
(IEEE Press, 2016)
Conference report
Open AccessWhen mobile robots are intended to be used in hazardous environments or for long-time operations, it is needed to increase their robustness against faults. This could be achieved by means of the inclusion of Fault Tolerant ... -
A Method for the Complete Set of Solutions of the Finite-Position Synthesis Problem
(Springer, 2022)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe equations that appear in the formulation of finite-position synthesis problems tend to increase their complexity and become quite large when solving for multiple-joint systems. In this work, we create a new set of ... -
A three-dof actuated robot
(2011)
Article
Open AccessThis article presents the realization of a tensegrity-based robot composed of a three-bar symmetric prismlike minimal tensegrity configuration. Statics and kinematics are studied presenting the workspace for the designed ... -

Bachelor thesis
Open AccessEn els darrers anys, les millores en els dispositius de realitat virtual han permès expandir molt els camps relacionats amb aquesta tecnologia. Una de les preocupacions actuals és la millora de la sensació d'immersió dins ... -
Alineación frontal de la rodilla. Concepto y determinación de la posición neutra en el vivo
(Sociedad Ibérica de Biomecánica y Biomateriales, 1994)
Article
Open AccessSe estudiaron 28 rodillas asintomáticas con objeto de confirmar en el vivo la existencia de movilidad mediolateral, tomando como posición neutra aquella en la que el contacto articular se produce simultáneamente en ... -
Analysis of self-overlap reveals trade-offs in plankton swimming trajectories
(2014-07-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMovement is a fundamental behaviour of organisms that not only brings about beneficial encounters with resources and mates, but also at the same time exposes the organism to dangerous encounters with predators. The movement ... -
