MOTION ANALYSIS OF TRIKONASANA
ABSTRACT: The objective of this study is to analyse human motion during Trikonasana from a kinematic and inverse dynamic human model and computational biomechanical solver, LifeMOD[1]. Low cost Inertial sensors(IMU) were used to obtain segment parameters for Trikonasana. Trikonasana is one of the important postures(asana) practised in yoga. Trikonasana has to be performed with perfection to obtain maximum benefits, which can be quantified by its symmetry, grace and consistency[2]. This study helps to determine torque, angular velocity and angular acceleration at hip joint and shoulder joint using a mathematical model. These kinematic parameters obtained from the mathematical model for Trikonasana are validated from the inverse

The kinematic model has three degrees of freedom in segment angles ፀ . Both the arms are assumed to be at the same angle as the postures involve symmetry of the arms in trikonasana . But the model can be easily extended to include independent arm motions. The three segments are assumed to be rigid bodies with their mass concentrated at their center of mass. The different segment lengths, masses, center of mass locations and moment of inertia are obtained from anthropometric data. The Joints possess rotational stiffness and frictional damping. Lagrange’s method was used to mathematically model the posture. The equation of motion are derived using the Lagrangian equation. ddt(∂L∂θi)-∂L∂θi=Qi where i =1,2,3… where Lagrangian L= K.E – P.E
Qi includes the generalized forces and torques on the system

Since the beginning of time the people of the world have their share of beliefs. Greek mythology is the arguably the most popular region of study. In Ancient Greece every citizen had a patron that would protect them and pantheism was commonplace. The Romans admired the Greeks in their art and culture and even took different aspects of their gods. Polytheism was widely accepted in all cultures so the seed of mythology bloomed. The time line of the creations of gods to the end of their reign is an important factor in Greek Mythology.
In this paper you will see how the drawings that I have presented to you make sense and are not just randomly there. There are names, places, religion, and lines present in this art piece that mean something to me and others as well. I’m from two places and not just one but I spend more time in one place than the other, so somethings of what I have known from the other place have been lost in time and memory. The memories come and go but remain lost because of the fact that they aren’t remembered and from being seen as unimportant to my present when in reality they are just as important. “I write the myths in me, the myths I am, the myths I want to become,” Anzaldua.

The ancient world of Mesoamerica entered a long period of change that soon led to the development a mammoth city that would serve as a regional center for more than 600 years. Beginning in about 1000 B.C. the majority of the people in the Valley of Mexico relocated to one of two primary sites, that of Cuicuilco in the southwest corner and Teotihuacan in the northeast. By about 300 B.C., Cuicuilco dominated the region, but its heyday would soon diminish. (Sabloff 2000, p 60)
Trisomy 13 is a devastating disease that affects part of the world’s population. In this essay I will tell you about the major causes for this disorder, symptoms of the syndrome, a brief description of Trisomy 13, how the disorder is treated, any environmental contributions, how it is diagnosed, what it is like to live with the disease, and much more.
Iyengar Yoga- This method emphasizes proper alignment to toughen the muscles and support the joints.
There are two assumptions of the motion analysis technique. Firstly, the bodies are assumed to be rigid, meaning the bodies will not deform under applied forces. By assuming rigid body, parameters that describe the configuration of the system to the translation and rotation of reference frames attached to each body are
For this method the ring should be centered over the post when the system is in equilibrium. So we tack the center post down so it will flush with the top surface of the force table and it will be no longer comptent to hold the ring in the position. We also pulled the ring slightly to the one side and release it to enable to inspect that the ring returns to the center. Then if not, adjust the mass or/and the angle of the pulley until the ring constantly returns to the center when it is pulled slightly to one side.
A patient recovering from an elbow surgery went to a physical therapist to strengthen the biceps muscle. The force of the elbow joint must not exceed to 200N while under the recovery process. During a session with a
The third design was very similar to the first design but this one was to have a small square of wood attached to the base so it could move more freely. The square was big enough for the two base arms to be about an inch away from each other. This however wouldn’t be good because the entire arm rested on this small square and would break easily and wouldn’t be easy to pivot because of all the weight. The rotation wood shape would need to be bigger. Also the base arm was straight and would restrain the second arm’s movement because it may catch the end of the arms.
