  1. Alright, future engineers!

    **Kinematics:** Describes motion through displacement, velocity, & acceleration.
    Ex: `v = v0 + at` (constant accel).
    Pro-Tip: Choose the right equation by matching your knowns/unknowns!

  3. @ombialik Bruno Grossi et al. (2014) provide interesting evidence suggesting that #shifting the #centerofmass using an artificial #tail causes #birds to exhibit movements reminiscent of non-avian #theropods (#dinosaurs).

  5. In the past years our team at #HUBerlin and #ChariteBerlin was able to recruit 451 adults (231 females) aged 18-64 years, with and without low-back pain.

    Besides #kinematics, we assessed muscle strength, activation (#EMG) and morphology (#MRI) of the trunk.

    Today we finally submitted our second manuscript and it is my pleasure to publicly share this unique dataset and the #rstats code used for analyses (doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17950007).

    We sincerely hope that our commitment to #OpenScience and #FairData allows researchers worldwide to use this data and foster global research initiatives, collaborations and comparative studies on low-back pain, facilitating cross-cohort validation and a broader applicability of findings.

  7. Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.
    I am looking foward to exchange and get inspired by your work.

    Since some of you wanted to know more about my research:
    feel free to have a look at my last publication on movement coordination in people with low-back pain (doi.org/10.3389/fspor.2025.152). We measured #kinematics in 306 adults and made the whole data set and code publicly available (doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14050785).

  11. In our recent preprint (introduced here mstdn.science/@dagmarfraser/11) we show advantages of Savitzky-Golay differentiator filter in velocity-curvature power law calculations (possibly applicable in #kinematics in general). SG de-noises & gives arbitrary derivative, avoiding compounding error of BW filtering & repeated diff'ing.

    We provide open-source code in #MATLAB github.com/dagmarfraser/veloci with BW filters and SG side by side, for easy drop in comparison and implementation.

  13. Pre-processing human #kinematics with zerolag 2nd order lowpass ButterWorth filters is almost an article of faith. Winter et al. (1974) introduced this filter strategy for motion tracking gait @ 60Hz × 96 × 96 pixels!

    The BW filter allows simple, successive differentiation of noisy x & y to give ‘denoised’ velocity, acceleration & jerk.

    Yet one-size-fits-all might need updating after 50 years; for higher sampling rates, more pixels, and novel tasks?

  15. Each step in the power law calculation– filtering, differentiation & regression –can potentially bias towards 1/3. We distil a toolkit, building on key insights from the literature, & demonstrate it does not fall foul of this. github.com/dagmarfraser/veloci

    The code & discussions are relevant to all #kinematics research using zero lag 10Hz low pass Butterworth filters, using finite differences differentiation (velocity to acceleration to jerk), or does linear regression after a log projection. 3/8

  17. Forgive the recent apparent obsession (I’d call it a fascination) with the #cycloid but I’ve just discovered something I’d not heard of before. It is also called a #TautochroneCurve or #Isochrone curve, which means that a particle starting from any location on the curve will get to the #MinimumPoint at precisely the same time as a particle starting at any other point.

  19. Interestingly, it is also the curve that solves the #Brachistochrone problem, which means that starting at a cusp on the inverted curve (maximum height), a frictionless ball will roll under uniform gravity in minimum time from the start to any other point on the curve, even beating the straight line path.

  21. Imagine a circular wheel rolling, without skidding, on a flat, horizontal surface. The #locus of any given point on its #circumference is called a #cycloid. It is a #periodic #curve with #period over the #circle's circumference and has #cusps whenever the point is in contact with the surface (the two sides of the curve are tangentially vertical at that point).

  23. The #Kinematics #Dress represents a new approach to manufacturing which tightly integrates design, simulation, and digital fabrication to create complex, customized products.

    Composed of thousands of unique interlocking components, each dress is 3D printed as a single folded piece and requires no assembly.

    Bodies are 3-dimensional but clothing is traditionally made from flat material that is cut and painstakingly pieced together.

    In contrast, Kinematics garments are created in 3D, directly from body scans and require absolutely no assembly.

    We employ a smart folding strategy to compress Kinematics garments into a smaller form for efficient fabrication.

    By folding the garments prior to printing them, we can make complex structures larger than a 3D printer that unfold into their intended shape.

  25. Our Labs' favourite coworker from Japan, #ShunichiTazuke from @univkyoto, visited our #OpenLab with some of his B.Sc. students! They recorded #kinematics and kinetics of sprint 🏃 using different approaches. A great interactive session, with interested & curious students! 🤩
