Time-delay estimation in biomechanical stability: a scoping review

Despite its high-level of robustness and versatility, the human sensorimotor control system regularly encounters and manages various noises, non-linearities, uncertainties, redundancies, and delays. These delays, which are critical to biomechanical stability, occur in various parts of the system and...

description Despite its high-level of robustness and versatility, the human sensorimotor control system regularly encounters and manages various noises, non-linearities, uncertainties, redundancies, and delays. These delays, which are critical to biomechanical stability, occur in various parts of the system and include sensory, signal transmission, CNS processing, as well as muscle activation delays. Despite the relevance of accurate estimation and prediction of the various time delays, the current literature reflects major discrepancy with regards to existing prediction and estimation methods. This scoping review was conducted with the aim of characterizing and categorizing various approaches for estimation of physiological time delays based on PRISMA guidelines. Five data bases (EMBASE, PubMed, Scopus, IEEE and Web of Science) were consulted between the years of 2000 and 2022, with a combination of four related categories of keywords. Scientific articles estimating at least one physiological time delay, experimentally or through simulations, were included. Eventually, 46 articles were identified and analyzed with 20 quantification and 16 qualification questions by two separate reviewers. Overall, the reviewed studies, experimental and analytical, employing both linear and non-linear models, reflected heterogeneity in the definition of time delay and demonstrated high variability in experimental protocols as well as the estimation of delay values. Most of the summarized articles were classified in the high-quality category, where multiple sound analytical approaches, including optimization, regression, Kalman filter and neural network in time domain or frequency domain were used. Importantly, more than 50% of the reviewed articles did not clearly define the nature of the estimated delays. This review presents and summarizes these issues and calls for a standardization of future scientific works for estimation of physiological time-delay.
