The purpose of this study was to evaluate responses of a PID based control system for a biomechanical model of the press handstand in gymnastics with various kinematic feedbacks. First, the joint torques were obtained from two dimensional inverse dynamics analysis for determining the controller parameters and then the performances were simulated using the same feedback control system. The results of this study showed that the feedback control system gives consistent responses for different kinematic information. This PID based feedback control model can be developed and used for classification of the control parameters among press handstands performed on different apparatuses such as rings and parallel bars in gymnastics.

A Feedback Controller Design for a Biomechanical Model of the Press Handstand in Gymnastics

July 2016

The purpose of this study was to design a PID based control system for a biomechanical model of the press handstand in gymnastics. The model was utilized to simulate a press handstand performance of a gymnast. A total of 10 simulations were performed using different controller parameters to achieve a decent result in joint kinematics which matches with the actual performance. The results of this ... [Show full abstract] study showed that maximum and minimum torque values can be used as proportional gain of a P controller. This PID based feedback control model can be developed and used for classification of the control parameters among press handstands performed on different apparatuses such as rings and parallel bars in gymnastics.

DETERMINING SUBJECT-SPECIFIC FEEDBACK CONTROL PARAMETERS FOR KNEE JOINT DURING BACK SQUATS WITH VARY...

September 2018

The aim of the present study was to determine subject-specific feedback control parameters for knee joint during back squats with varying loads. For this purpose, a proportional-derivative based real-time feedback control system, assisted by an inverse dynamics solution, was implemented at the knee joint in a four-segment biomechanical model of the performer. The parameters of the controller were ... [Show full abstract] tuned for each load. It was found that control parameters increase with the load and there is a certain relationship between them. Consequently, a subject-specific quantifier for motion control, in particular for the knee joint during back squat, was introduced from a robotics perspective.

DEVELOPMENT OF A REAL-TIME FEEDBACK CONTROL SYSTEM FOR KNEE JOINT DURING BACK SQUAT

September 2018

The purpose of this study was to develop a proportional-derivative based real-time feedback control system for the knee joint of a back squat performer. This model was used in simulations with four methods and then compared with each other. As a result, a feedback control system was developed which performs real-time control of the knee joint along with inverse dynamics solution during motion. ... [Show full abstract] The proposed methods have the potential to be used to control multiple joint actions for various performers using subject specific control parameters.

Comparison of three EMG-based muscle fatigue assessments in dynamic contractions

June 2017

The aim of this study was to (1) focus on the number of peaks methods (NoP) as an alternative method for electromyography (EMG) analysis and to (2) compare the performance of this method with two traditional EMG parameters, mean frequency (MNF) and median frequency (MDF) in assessment of muscle fatigue during cyclic dynamic contractions. A total of 6 participants performed 50 repeated, maximal ... [Show full abstract] concentric isokinetic muscle actions of the left leg extensors at a velocity of 180 deg/s using an isokinetic dynamometer. Quantification of the EMG activity of the muscles at each repetition was made by using three methods. NoP values were found to be positively correlated with the peak torque as well as MNF, and MDF. The study showed that the NoP method which has a simple implementation, can be used for assessing the level of muscle fatigue.
