UMMARY Weakness of the hip estensor muscles contributes to the walking impairment of children with cerebral palsy, but it is difficult to strengthen these muscles. This study demonstrates greater activation of the hip estensor muscles when using a tr

Previous optimization techniques for the prediction of lifting motion patterns often require a change in either the number of variables or the order of the mathematical functions used to express the angular displacement of selected joints in response

Configuring a design from parts out of catalogs requires searching large numbers of combinations of parts. Optimizing search techniques are not practical for searching for parts in catalogus because the computation time is often excessive. Rule-based

This paper discusses issues related to a network-based catalog part selection system. Some of the key issues are: the optimal search problem, the burden imposed on the server of a network-based catalog or the time spent in data retrieval, identical p
