Tuesday October 7 update

OK, we are coming to the end of 3D kinematics, which we will finish on Thursday, October 9. Be sure to read the remaining parts of the textbook chapter, and the papers to be discussed on Thursday, Cole et al (1993) and McClay & Manal (1997). Thursday would be a good day to bring any remaining questions on 3D kinematics. You should also be working on Assignment #3, which will be due next week in class. Speaking of next week, check your calendar and schedule, as there is NO CLASS on Tuesday, October 14, when the university will be following a Monday schedule. There will be readings posted later in the week for you to do before the class on Thursday, October 16, when Brian will start to present the section on Anthropometry.

Finally, check the Kin 530 website, where you will find the ISB recommendations for Joint Coordinate Systems for specific human joints, as Brian mentioned in class today. These are included in two articles, Part 1 (ankle, hip, and spine) from 2002 and Part 2 (shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand) from 2005.  Note that the recommended knee JCS from Grood & Suntay was presented in the original Wu & Cavanagh (1995) paper.

Cheers…… see you on Thursday.
