“…This study used the triaxial wireless IMU system (STT Ingeniera Y Sistemas, San Sebastián, Spain). This technology allows an objective assessment, which can improve the precision of locomotion measurement [9]. Data was collected while the elephants walked at their preferred walking speed at a range of 20 m. in a straight line, where the speed was more consistent and wireless signals from sensors might be detected most effectively.…”

“…Although the force plate systems are considered the gold standard for motion analysis to quantify limb lameness [24], they have some limitations, such as the complicated and expensive setting, which makes it hard for a large animal like an elephant to participate. To date, only wearable sensors have been developed that enable the triaxial motion sensor, incorporating an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer, to provide three-dimensional linear accelerations, angular velocity, and magnetic field strength [9,12,22]. The purpose of this exploratory, observational study was to investigate how lameness affected the variability of gait variables of an elephant's gait by using an automated three-dimensional (3D) inertial measurement unit (IMU) with Wi-Fi sensors.…”

Lameness has a significant impact not only on the economy but also on elephant welfare. Several gait characteristics are altered to compensate for the discomfort. The traditional approach to detecting lameness has relied on mahout and veterinarian observation. The study aimed to determine how lameness affected the variability of an elephant's gait by using a three-dimensional inertial measurement unit (IMU) with Wi-Fi sensors. Five elephants with lameness, as determined by an experienced veterinarian and two, non-lamed elephants, aged between 58-80 years were included in the study. Gait biomechanics including limb segment motion, obtained from individually gyrometric-and accelerobased parameters and demonstrated as a graphical pattern showing changes in absolute rotation angle over time. The result revealed some character changes in gait kinematics parameters, but it was heterogeneity with an inconclusive pattern. The interlimb coordination could be a part of maintaining the actual locomotion pattern, or it could be a result of the mild degree of lameness for which all of the clients have compensated. This study introduces a new objective method for quantifying gait changes caused by lameness, additional research is required to make this objective more clinically applicable.

Study purpose. The purpose of this research is to look into the use of biomechanical analysis in pencak silat martial arts techniques. Materials and methods. The PRISMA standards for systematic reviews and meta-analyses were followed in this review investigation. The study must be published within the prior five years, from January 2019 to July 2023. In the search procedure, the following keywords are used: (1) pencak silat; (2) biomechanical analysis. The search engines SINTA (Science and Technology Index) and Scopus were employed. Results. This evaluation included the results of 10 articles. Six articles looked at combat tactics, two at students and the art of movement, nine articles looked at kick attacks, and one looked at attitudes. Four articles proposed time and speed. Six articles investigated pencak silat motion angles. Conclusions. Time, angle, direction, flexion, extension, rotation, adduction, visual focus, force, moment of inertia, rotational kinetic energy, and effort are all inferred factors for pencak silat techniques.
