It is shown that short continuous recordings of the human locomotory apparatus possess properties typical of deterministic chaotic systems, and user-friendly programs are provided for each implemented method.
Abstract
We analyse the dynamics of human gait with simple nonlinear time series analysis methods that are appropriate for undergraduate courses. We show that short continuous recordings of the human locomotory apparatus possess properties typical of deterministic chaotic systems. To facilitate interest and enable the reproduction of presented results, as well as to promote applications of nonlinear time series analysis to other experimental systems, we provide user-friendly programs for each implemented method. Thus, we provide new insights into the dynamics of human locomotion, and make an effort to ease the inclusion of nonlinear time series analysis methods into the curriculum at an early stage of the educational process.

Nonlinear Time Series Analysis.

TL;DR: This thesis applies neural network feature selection techniques to multivariate time series data to improve prediction of a target time series and results indicate that the Stochastics and RSI indicators result in better prediction results than the moving averages.

Model-based estimation of muscle forces exerted during movements

TL;DR: Clinical applications of current research should be encouraged, supported by further development of computational tools and research into new algorithms for muscle force estimation and their validation.

Adjustments to McConville et al. and Young et al. body segment inertial parameters

TL;DR: Adjusted scaling equations are obtained for both males and females that provide BSIPs which are directly applicable in the conventional SCSs and do not restrain the position of the centre of mass and the orientation of the principal axes.

Human movement analysis using stereophotogrammetry. Part 2: instrumental errors.

TL;DR: Since the desired outcome of the movement measurements is a reliable estimate of body segment kinematics, state-of-the-art techniques proposed for minimization of error propagation arising from a cluster of external markers are described.

Nonlinear dynamics and Chaos

TL;DR: The logistic map, a canonical one-dimensional system exhibiting surprisingly complex and aperiodic behavior, is modeled as a function of its chaotic parameter, and the progression through period-doubling bifurcations to the onset of chaos is considered.

Independent coordinates for strange attractors from mutual information.

TL;DR: In this paper, the mutual information I is examined for a model dynamical system and for chaotic data from an experiment on the Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction.

Determining embedding dimension for phase-space reconstruction using a geometrical construction

TL;DR: The issue of determining an acceptable minimum embedding dimension is examined by looking at the behavior of near neighbors under changes in the embedding dimensions from d\ensuremath{\rightarrow}d+1 by examining the manner in which noise changes the determination of ${\mathit{d}}_{\math it{E}}$.
