  • Two new methods applicable to center of pressure swing analysis

    Open AccessTeruo Uetake, Hideyuki Tanaka et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2004

    Two new methods that accurately analyze the displacement velocity of the center of pressure (COP) in order to diagnose postural control systems are presented: a wavelet analysis method and a method that analyzes the distribution of COP displacement velocity. Both methods could easily detect a transient but significant phenomenon in a series of COP swings. Recovery training based on diagnoses made by these methods should enable individuals to main…

  • Influences of Head Orientation on the Unperturbed Postural Sway in Human Upright Stance

    Open AccessHideyuki Tanaka, Teruo UetakeARTICLEAnthropological Science2003

    We examined the effects of head orientation on postural sway during quiet upright standing. Twenty healthy male subjects with diverse balance abilities were included in this study. Postural sway was estimated using an instrumented force platform to record the center-of-pressure (COP) under a subject’s feet during standing. The subjects were tested with the ‘head straight’ (normal) and with the ‘head back’ (I.e., neck extension), both conditions w…

  • Secular changes in relative leg length in post-war Japan

    Open AccessMd Ayub Ali, Teruo Uetake et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2000

    Longitudinal secular changes of height and estimated leg length (ELL) or subischial leg length of Japanese boys and girls were investigated using data published in "The Statistical Report of the School Health Survey" of the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture, Japan. A significant trend towards greater relative leg length (long-leggedness) among Japanese children and youth has occurred during the period of about four decades covere…

  • Posterior Lower Leg Profile of the Japanese. Comparison of Non-Athlete and Athlete Groups (Swimmer, Sprinter, and Kendo Player)

    Open AccessTeruo Uetake, Fumio Ohtsuki et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science1999

    The shape of the posterior profile of the lower legs in the lateral view was examined by Moire photography in 281 healthy, Japanese aged 18-22 years participated in different sports.Subjects were 140 male and 28 female non-athletes, 30 male and 14 female swimmers, 21 male sprinters, and 48 male kendo players.Using a cubic spline function and geometrical data from the Moire photographs, the posterior profile of the lower leg in the lateral view wa…

  • Can we really walk straight

    Open AccessTeruo UetakeARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1992References: 20

    Twenty healthy men were asked to walk as straight as possible to a target 60 m away at normal speed. A series of footprints was recorded for each subject by having him wear socks soaked with red ink and walk on white paper fixed flat to the floor. Fourier analysis was applied to determine whether the subjects actually were able to walk straight, and the results revealed that all walked in a sinuous line rather than a straight line. Periodicity an…

  • Change in step angle in normal walking using fourier analysis

    Open AccessTeruo UetakeARTICLEThe Journal of Anthropological…1988

    健康な成人男子20名の正常歩行における歩向角の変動パターンが検討された。平らな床上で被験者は自分の最も歩きやすい速度で目標に向かって真っすぐに50m の距離を歩くよう指示され,その時の足跡が連続的に記録された。得られた足跡から左右の歩向角が求められたのち歩向角の変動にみられる周期性を検討するために歩向角の値がフーリエ級数に展開され,いくつかの周期成分に分けられた。その周期成分をもとに三型,すなわち低い周期成分が多く含まれる型,中程度の周期成分が多く含まれる型および高い周期成分が多く含まれる型に分類された。右脚側では低周期成分が,左脚側では中•高周期成分が多く含まれる型が多数出現した
