Introduction: The tennis serve is a complex motion with numerous rotations which are important to manage for performance. The main aim of this study was to investigate kinematic parameters, including the evolution of the center of gravity, and kinetic parameters correlated with racket velocity over all phases of the tennis serve. The secondary objective was to find out which of the correlated parameters differed between a slow and a fast serve. The advantage of such an approach would be to propose biomechanical parameters that coaches and teachers could use to optimize performance or learn how to serve. Methods: Quantitative analysis was carried out on 5 flat serves performed by four ranked players using an optoelectronic system (82 markers located on whole body and racket) composed of 10 infrared cameras (150 Hz) and two force platforms (750 Hz). Results: A descriptive statistical analysis highlighted 11 very large and almost perfect correlations with racket velocity: vertical ground reaction force of back foot in release backward, trunk axial rotation during loading phase, back and front knee flexions, dominant shoulder and hip mediolateral rotation during cocking phase, and center of gravity vertical velocity, dominant shoulder medial rotation velocity, dominant elbow flexion, trunk flexion/extension and axial rotation during acceleration phase. Differences were observed for some of the correlated parameters between slow and fast serve. Discussion: Consequently, all these correlated kinematic and kinetics parameters constitute information that coaches, instructors and athletes can use to improve, optimize or teach the tennis serve.

Addressing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) during a tennis serve is a challenge for both protecting athletes and maintaining performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk of MSD occurrence using the rapid whole-body assessment (REBA) ergonomic tool at each time step, using 3D kinematic analysis of joint angles for slow and fast serves. Two force platforms (750 Hz) and an optoelectronic system including 10 infrared cameras (150 Hz, 82 markers located on the whole body and on the racket) were used to capture the kinematics of the six REBA joint areas over five services in two young male and two young female ranked players. The mean REBA score was 9.66 ± 1.11 (ranging from 7.75 to 11.85) with the maximum value observed for the loading and cocking stage (REBA score > 11). The intermediate scores for each of the six joint areas ranged between 2 and 3 and the maximum value of their respective scales. The lowest scores were observed for the shoulder. Neck rotation and shoulder flexion are parameters that could be taken into account when analyzing performance in the context of MSD prevention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to provide an overview of kinematic parameters associated with key points of interest in the tennis serve. The research was conducted according to the PRISMA guideline without date restriction. Google scholar, Science Direct, PubMed/Medline, Mendeley, and Science.gov databases were scanned to find relevant studies. Only English peer-review original article focused on joint body angles at trophy position, racket low point and ball impact were retained. The review, quality appraisal, and data extraction from selected studies were performed independently by two reviewers. A meta-analysis was carried out on the most studied joint parameters. Among the 2,844 records identified, 27 articles were included. The wide variety of methods used required data homogenization for comparison purposes. Trunk inclination (25.0 ± 7.1°) and front knee flexion (64.5 ± 9.7°) were the most studied parameters for trophy position. Shoulder lateral rotation (130.1 ± 26.5°) was systematically evaluated for racket low point. At ball impact, shoulder elevation (110.7 ± 16.9°) and elbow flexion (30.1 ± 15.9°) were the most considered joint angles. The systematic review revealed that many kinematic parameters were not quantified at the various key points of interest. Knowledge of the kinematics is essential for understanding the gesture, implementing training methods, and improving the performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal disorders are prevalent among physiotherapists. They perform many repetitive tasks in awkward postures that require a high muscle load. This issue was often addressed through subjective analysis (questionnaire) but rarely using postural evaluation combined with an ergonomic assessment. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this article was to decompose draining lymphatic massage performed by physiotherapists in generic postures (GP) to quickly assess the musculoskeletal disorder risk. METHODS: Based on numeric video recorded in frontal and sagittal planes, 3360 postures were defined from 20-minutes lymphatic drainage massage performed by 7 physiotherapists over a period of 6 months. A hierarchical cluster analysis was applied to define the GP. RESULTS: Seven GP were identified, which were described by their average joint angles, variability and relative frequency. GP6, GP4 and GP2 had the highest frequencies (17.6%, 16.9% and 16.8% respectively). Trunk and neck were essentially flexed (neck: 17.0±10.0° for GP1; trunk: 20.4±8.7° for GP4). Shoulder flexion and abduction ranged from 15° (GP7) to 60° (GP4). Mean and variability of RULA score completed the analysis. The highest scores were computed for GP2 and GP3 (respectively 5.5±1.3 and 5.8±1.2, p < 0.05). GP4 had the lowest (4.0±1.1, p < 0.05). The results suggest that massages have to be monitored. Attention should be paid to the postures used to prevent the occurrence of MSDs. CONCLUSION: The massages could be described as a combination of generic posture for a rapid ergonomic assessment.

The present study had a dual objective: (1) to present and validate a predictive model of standing posture in the sagittal plane, joint torques and support forces for a smartphone user built from biomechanical principles; (2) propose risk scales for joint torques and reaction forces based on simulations in order to use them into the musculoskeletal disorders prevention. Comparison of the modelled data with experimental measurements (400 tested postures with sample size verification) for calling and texting tasks highlights the model's ability to correctly estimate posture and reaction forces on the ground. The model was able to provide estimates of the range of variation of each parameter for a wide range of environmental conditions as a function of the user body mass index (setting between 12.5 and 50). Joint torques risk scales have been constructed, especially for shoulder and elbow, to characterise the risks incurred by the users. Practitioner summary: The proposed model enables the postures, joint torques and reaction forces to be estimated from subject's body mass index and environmental configuration without resorting to experimentation, which is relevant in industry. This approach allows the proposition of new scales based on joint torques to reinforce the recommendations for MSDs prevention.

Jacquier-Bret, Julien, Faupin, Arnaud, Rezzoug, Nasser, and Gorce, Philippe
- Abstract
The aim of this study was to propose a new index called Postural Force Production Index (PFPI) for evaluating the force production during handcycling. For a given posture, it assesses the force generation capacity in all Cartesian directions by linking the joint configuration to the effective force applied on the handgrips. Its purpose is to give insight into the force pattern of handcycling users, and could be used as ergonomic index. The PFPI is based on the force ellipsoid, which belongs to the class of manipulability indices and represents the overall force production capabilities at the hand in all Cartesian directions from unit joint torques. The kinematics and kinetics of the arm were recorded during a 1-min exercise test on a handcycle at 70 revolutions per minute performed by one paraplegic expert in handcycling. The PFPI values were compared with the Fraction Effective Force (FEF), which is classically associated with the effectiveness of force application. The results showed a correspondence in the propulsion cycle between FEF peaks and the most favorable postures to produce a force tangential to the crank rotation (PFPI). This preliminary study opens a promising way to study patterns of force production in the framework of handcycling movement analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the presence of motor redundancy, recent studies have shown that goal equivalent configurations of the body segments might be used by the central nervous system (CNS) instead of stereotypical movement patterns. In particular, some authors have shown that the CNS might choose a subset of joint configurations (termed the uncontrolled manifold or UCM) such that variability (goal equivalent variance or GEV) in this subset does not affect the value of a particular performance variable while variability in the orthogonal subset ORT (non-goal equivalent variance or NGEV) does. This hypothesis has been used successfully to test whether specific performance variables such as endpoint trajectory or segment global orientation are stabilized by the CNS or to study the influence of constraints on the organization of the movement. Few studies have examined the redundancy problem when considering obstacle avoidance during a grasping task. Indeed, the majority of the works on this topic considers non redundant arm models or do not take into account the movement variability. In the present work, we sought to study the coordination of the trunk and the arm during a reaching task involving an obstacle and to test whether such a spatial constraint in extrinsic space may induce particular adaptations in term of joint flexibility when considering the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joint center positions. In this framework, the upper limb three-dimensional kinematics was recorded. From the calculated joint angles, the variability in joint space related to the three joint center positions was computed and decomposed into GEV and NGEV. In agreement with the UCM hypothesis, results showed higher values of GEV than NGEV for all the experimental conditions. The main finding of the study is that joints' synergy is strengthened for the stabilization of the elbow joint center position during the late phases of the movement. This strengthening seems to be due mainly to an increase of GEV. Therefore, our results suggest that an increase of joint flexibility may be a mechanism by which the CNS takes into account a spatial constraint in extrinsic space represented by an obstacle.

International audience; Recent technological advancements have enabled the development of new communication devices and new ways to use them. Among them, touch technology is experiencing a major expansion. Indeed, its use is easy, intuitive and natural and is an excellent interface between human and machine. In this context, many studies have examined the development of touch screens whether for phones or tablets. The objective was to analyze how the user interacts with the screen to make it more ergonomic and easier to use. The results show that size, colours or locations of the interactive elements could influence the performance of the user. Although this approach is essential for the development of tactile devices, user motion analysis is equally: the upper limb is classically described as a multi-joint system with redundancy, which leads to the same movement on the screen with an infinite number of joint combinations. Very few studies have examined these biomechanical characteristics. However, such information may be relevant in the development of devices suitable for motor capabilities of users. The objective of this work was to analyze the joint organization of the upper limb during the interaction with a touch pad. Eleven healthy right handed subjects voluntarily participated to the experience. The task consisted in achieving five times a 16 pieces puzzle presented on a 10-inch touch pad. The pieces were randomly displayed at the bottom of the screen and a translucent guide was presented in the upper part. To perform the motion analysis, the trajectories of eighteen light reflective markers placed on the trunk and the right upper-limb were recorded using an optoelectronic system. Then, relative upper limb joint angles were computed according to the ISB instructions. A Hierarchy Ascending Classification was applied on the range of motion of the 15 degrees of freedom. Three groups of subjects emerged. The first one included six subjects that had an important solicitation of the proximal joints (shoulder and elbow) and a very low implication of the wrist. This organization was called “proximal strategy”. On the contrary, the second group (with five subjects) was characterized by an important mobilization of the wrist and a relative low involvement of the proximal joints. This organization was called “wrist strategy”. One subject had an important and equal solicitation of all de degrees of freedom characterizing a “neutral strategy”. From a biomechanical point of view, results revealed that there were different ways to interact with the touch pad and perform the task. This information would be relevant in the framework of ergonomics to adapt interfaces in relation to these different motor organizations. This is particularly relevant for patients with motor impairments. Indeed, the loss of a degree of freedom or control of a muscle due to trauma could significantly alter the motor organization and thus make interaction difficult or even impossible. However, future studies are needed to determine to what extent these organizations are stable drive and what are the parameters that can lead a subject to modify the organization of his gesture.

Through the assessment of quantitative indexes, this work focused on the biomechanical analysis of the upper limb redundancy and motor coordination during a reach-to-grasp movement. Based on the Uncontrolled Manifold approach, we considered, on one hand, a particular aspect of the synergies, i.e. the covaration of elemental variables of a system that lead to a stabilization of a particular performance variable. In this framework, it was hypothesized that degrees of freedom were not frozen as suggested by Bernstein but combined in order to ensure performance and stability. On the other hand, we used a robotic index, the manipulability, allowing the assessment of wrist displacement capacities during the grasping task. The aim of the present work was to study the motor coordination during constrained and altered upper limb movements through the evaluation of these two. In this framework, the first analysis consisted in evaluating the effect of a spatial constraint materialized by an obstacle during the transport phase of the reach-to-grasp movement. The second part consisted in identifying motor coordination of the upper limb for spinal cord injury patients, especially quadriplegic patients, using both kinematics and electromyographic (EGM) analyses. Two experiments were conducted to record kinematics and EMG activity of upper limb muscles with adapted apparatus. In the presence of an obstacle, results showed that wrist Cartesian trajectory was stabilized through flexible combination of joint synergy. Also, the results showed an increase of goal equivalent configurations to stabilize the elbow trajectory when an obstacle was present. This result suggests that the increase of the joint angle flexibility may be a mechanism by which the central nervous system takes into account a spatial constraint during obstacle avoidance. In the same time, the increase of the manipulability of the wrist joint center was found. For quadriplegic patients, EMG analysis showed a compensation of the weakness or paralysis of particular muscles, particularly the triceps brachii, by an increase of the relative activation of the shoulder muscles. In addition, these subjects presented a variance decomposition similar to the one of the control group suggesting that, despite the presence of a motor deficiency, goal equivalent joint configuration during the execution of the movement are still present or have been recovered. Also, for manipulability, patients have strong similarities with the control group. Considering these results, we think that the exploration of synergies through the proposed indices could be an interesting tool to study the impact of external constraint and impairment on the biomechanical parameters of movement. These works open the way for interesting applications in the field of movement simulation by considering the variability of joint trajectories in relation to a performance variable. Also, they may be applied to the assessment of the coordination of impaired subjects in order to evaluate and improve rehabilitation programs by providing quantitative information on the contribution of all the degrees of freedom., Au travers de l'évaluation d'indices quantitatifs, ce travail se focalise sur l'analyse biomécanique de la redondance et des coordinations motrices du membre supérieur lors de la réalisation du mouvement de préhension. En nous basant sur la théorie de « l'uncontrolled manifold », nous abordons, d'une part, un aspect particulier de la notion de synergie qui est relatif à la covariation des paramètres d'état du système afin de stabiliser une variable de performance. En effet, la thématique de la redondance motrice qui est une des caractéristiques principale du système musculo-squelettique a été récemment reformulée. Dans ce cadre, il est postulé que les degrés de liberté ne sont jamais éliminés comme le suggère la théorie proposée par Bernstein mais combinés afin d'assurer performance et flexibilité. D'autre part, nous utilisons un indice issu de la robotique, la manipulabilité permettant d'évaluer les capacités de déplacement du poignet au cours de ce mouvement de saisie. L'objectif de ce travail consiste à appliquer ces deux analyses à des mouvements contraints ou altérés afin d'identifier les modifications de la coordination motrice par rapport à des conditions contrôles.

Through the assessment of quantitative indexes, this work focused on the biomechanical analysis of the upper limb redundancy and motor coordination during a reach-to-grasp movement. Based on the Uncontrolled Manifold approach, we considered, on one hand, a particular aspect of the synergies, i.e. the covaration of elemental variables of a system that lead to a stabilization of a particular performance variable. In this framework, it was hypothesized that degrees of freedom were not frozen as suggested by Bernstein but combined in order to ensure performance and stability. On the other hand, we used a robotic index, the manipulability, allowing the assessment of wrist displacement capacities during the grasping task. The aim of the present work was to study the motor coordination during constrained and altered upper limb movements through the evaluation of these two. In this framework, the first analysis consisted in evaluating the effect of a spatial constraint materialized by an obstacle during the transport phase of the reach-to-grasp movement. The second part consisted in identifying motor coordination of the upper limb for spinal cord injury patients, especially quadriplegic patients, using both kinematics and electromyographic (EGM) analyses. Two experiments were conducted to record kinematics and EMG activity of upper limb muscles with adapted apparatus. In the presence of an obstacle, results showed that wrist Cartesian trajectory was stabilized through flexible combination of joint synergy. Also, the results showed an increase of goal equivalent configurations to stabilize the elbow trajectory when an obstacle was present. This result suggests that the increase of the joint angle flexibility may be a mechanism by which the central nervous system takes into account a spatial constraint during obstacle avoidance. In the same time, the increase of the manipulability of the wrist joint center was found. For quadriplegic patients, EMG analysis showed a compensation of the weakness or paralysis of particular muscles, particularly the triceps brachii, by an increase of the relative activation of the shoulder muscles. In addition, these subjects presented a variance decomposition similar to the one of the control group suggesting that, despite the presence of a motor deficiency, goal equivalent joint configuration during the execution of the movement are still present or have been recovered. Also, for manipulability, patients have strong similarities with the control group. Considering these results, we think that the exploration of synergies through the proposed indices could be an interesting tool to study the impact of external constraint and impairment on the biomechanical parameters of movement. These works open the way for interesting applications in the field of movement simulation by considering the variability of joint trajectories in relation to a performance variable. Also, they may be applied to the assessment of the coordination of impaired subjects in order to evaluate and improve rehabilitation programs by providing quantitative information on the contribution of all the degrees of freedom., Au travers de l'évaluation d'indices quantitatifs, ce travail se focalise sur l'analyse biomécanique de la redondance et des coordinations motrices du membre supérieur lors de la réalisation du mouvement de préhension. En nous basant sur la théorie de « l'uncontrolled manifold », nous abordons, d'une part, un aspect particulier de la notion de synergie qui est relatif à la covariation des paramètres d'état du système afin de stabiliser une variable de performance. En effet, la thématique de la redondance motrice qui est une des caractéristiques principale du système musculo-squelettique a été récemment reformulée. Dans ce cadre, il est postulé que les degrés de liberté ne sont jamais éliminés comme le suggère la théorie proposée par Bernstein mais combinés afin d'assurer performance et flexibilité. D'autre part, nous utilisons un indice issu de la robotique, la manipulabilité permettant d'évaluer les capacités de déplacement du poignet au cours de ce mouvement de saisie. L'objectif de ce travail consiste à appliquer ces deux analyses à des mouvements contraints ou altérés afin d'identifier les modifications de la coordination motrice par rapport à des conditions contrôles. Dans cette optique, la première analyse consiste à évaluer l'effet d'une contrainte spatiale matérialisée par un obstacle lors de la phase d'approche d'un mouvement de préhension par une mesure des paramètres cinématiques du membre supérieur. La seconde étude vise à identifier la coordination motrice du membre supérieur de sujets atteints d'une lésion médullaire et souffrants de tétraplégie par une analyse combinée des paramètres électromyographiques (EMG) de certains muscles impliqués et des paramètres cinématiques. Pour cela nous avons mis en place deux protocoles expérimentaux au cours desquels les angles articulaires du membre supérieur ainsi que le signal EMG ont été évalués par des moyens adaptés.

Nowadays touch technology is growing and developers try to make it ever more intuitive and easier to use. This present work focused on the upper limb joint coordination during the achievement of puzzles on touch screen. A 5-inch and 10-inch devices were used to perform 9 and 16 pieces puzzles dragged with digits. The conclusions showed an increase in joint solicitation with the number of piece and the touch screen size. Moreover, three interactions strategies proved to be an evidence: the ‘wrist strategy’ preferentially implying wrist flexion/extension, the ‘elbow strategy’ preferentially implying the elbow flexion/extension and the ‘neutral strategy’ mobilising equally the two joints. From an ergonomic point of view, the data about how the upper limb segments are mobilised while interacting with the screen could be relevant to increase the adaptability of the devices to the user, including users with motor impairments. Practitioner Summary:Information about the biomechanical organisation of movement during interaction with touch devices appears relevant in order to develop applications adapted to the motor capacities of users. From the analysis of joint angles when performing several times a puzzle with healthy subjects, three motor strategies were highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The aim of this study was to apply models derived from the robotics field to evaluate the human upper-limb force generation capacity. Four models were compared: the force ellipsoid (FE) and force polytope (FP) based on unit joint torques and the scaled FE (SFE) and scaled FP (SFP) based on maximum isometric joint torques. The four models were assessed from four upper-limb postures with varying elbow flexion (40°, 60°, 80° and 100°) measured by an optoelectronic system and their corresponding isometric joint torques. Ten subjects were recruited. Three specific ellipsoids and polytopes parameters were compared: isotropy, principal force orientation and volume. Isotropy showed that the ellipsoids and polytopes were elongated. The angle between the two ellipsoids main axis and the two polytopes remained low but increased with the elbow flexion. The FE and FP volumes increased and those of SFE and SFP decreased with the elbow flexion. The interest and limits of such models are discussed in the framework of ergonomics and rehabilitation.

In this work, it is proposed to evaluate the upper-limb movements through a global index of performance borrowed from the field of robotics: the manipulability. For a given posture, this index quantifies the set of velocities that can be achieved at the wrist in all the Cartesian directions. The manipulability can be represented by an ellipsoid from which the volume and shape related parameters can be derived. During a reach to grasp movement, the ellipsoid obtained from experiment presented a flattened shape along the forearm longitudinal axis and an increased volume as the arm was extended. From this study, it is concluded that: (1) the ellipsoid volume reflects well the ability to generate speed at the wrist which is effectively maximal for an extended posture; (2) if maximal velocity is an important parameter it might be advisable to primarily move the hand perpendicularly to the forearm longitudinal axis. Practitioner Summary: The interest of manipulability indices is that they evaluate globally a posture of the upper-limb in relation to a given task. This original parameter could help to design environments or devices in order that the adopted postures maximise one particular aspect of the performance, i.e. the velocity of the hand.
