Three-dimensional motion measurement of golf putter head and estimation of putting results by neural network by Tomoya YOSHIDA, Masaki HOKARI

“…In addition, it was shown from the principal component analysis, angle around y axis, z axis at impact, angle about z axis, maximum of angular velocity, angular velocity around z axis at impact,the maximum and minimum angles around the y axis are important parameter for expressing the ball hitting result. Moreover it was shown that the parameter that most influence the estimation of the hit ballistic result are the angle around the y axis at the time of impact, and the angular velocity around the z axis at the time of impact.…”

Gait analysis of total hip arthroplasty patients based on the spectral analysis results of trunk acceleration by Masahiro YONEDA, Mitsuhiko IKEBUCHI, Kanji FUKUDA, Ryoichi KATO, Tamotsu NAKATSUCHI, Shigeyoshi NAKAJIMA, Hiroaki NAKAMURA

“…The parameter PR in the fore and posterior directions is also obtained which is defined as the power spectrum ratio of 0.5fw to fw component where 0.5fw is half frequency component of the gait cycle fw. Based on these results, it was confirmed that the parameter PR in the fore and posterior directions, DLF in the vertical direction and lateral displacement of the trunk were the useful evaluation indices in order to evaluate the gait improvement for THA postoperative patients.…”
