Aging Effect on Tapping Frequency Assessed by Hand Dominance
Mean intertap intervals (MII) of each hand of 121 normal male and female adults and 12 female professional pianists were measured in order to clarify three effects on the maximum free tapping frequency, namely, dominance of the human hand, aging, and the impact of daily exercise.The maximum free finger tapping test can quantify motor agility in hands and fingers.The normal adult group consisted of 47 young urban university students and 74 elderly…
Morphological Comparison of the Vertebrae in Humans and Some Other Mammals
The form of the human vertebral column is different from those of other mammals. The aim of this study was to determine the morphological characteristics of the vertebrae, as a first step toward revealing the relationship between form and function of the human vertebra in ordinary posture and movement. The materials were vertebrae from the 3rd cervical to the last lumber vertebra of 52 modern Japanese humans (26 males, 26 females), 5 chimpanzees,…
The Relationship between Posture and External Force in Walking
The clarification of parameters to determine the walking pattern is important for the understanding of the walking mechanism. Infants walk with different postures from adults, and the dynamic characteristics in infants differ from those in adults. It is possible for the “walking posture” to provide a set of the parameters which determine the walking pattern. This study examines the influence of walking postures on the external forces for adult su…
Development of the automatic system for measuring the length and frequency of the step and stride
The accurate length and frequency of the step and stride are indispensable data for a study of human walking. Previous methods for obtaining these measurements have some problems in handling and accuracy. The method which we have developed here makes these measurements easier by using special custommade apparatuses. They measure the position in which the sole makes contact with the floor with a resolution of 5mm and the sampling frequency is 1000…
