Virtual power based algorithm for decoupling large motions from infinitesimal strains: application to shoulder joint biomechanics.

abstract：:Ageing influences gait patterns which in turn can affect the balance control of human locomotion. Entropy-based regularity and complexity measures have been highly effective in analysing a broad range of physiological signals. Minimum toe clearance (MTC) is an event during the swing phase of the gait cycle and is high...
