Abstract: A method for determining instantaneous helical axis parameters pertaining to the kinematic function of a joint processes the data with a first filter function which is based upon the Woltring IHA filter function. In accordance with the invention, backward propagating noise is eliminated by prefiltering the data utilizing a Butterworth filter.

Abstract: A system and method for the teaching of physical skills such as golf by the use of video reproduction utilizes a reverse image video by an instructor. In addition, the student receives the reverse image video on a pair of video glasses. The student does not have to perform a mental right-left translation when viewing the instructor.

Abstract: A universal, adaptable shopping cart cushion (10) easily envelopes all surrounding areas of the shopping cart seat giving complete coverage over the handle, seat, sides, top edges and back. The adjustable perimeter seam (25) allows easy adaptability to various size shopping carts. This cushion provides a child riding in a shopping cart seat, with a comfortable, safe, and sanitary environment. Safety seat belts (19) are installed for the child's safety and security and an adjustable perimeter seam (25) simplifies and expedites the installation and removal of the cushioned cover. An elastic strap (26) secures the cushion when rolled for easy, compact storage. Sanitation is maintained by an easy, washable material and design. The cushion provides protection from being pinched, scratched or harmed by the hard movable shopping cart seat and protection from the results of various weather conditions.

Abstract: A cranial orthosis band is shaped to extend across the top of the head with depending regions closely confining the temporal bone regions and the mastoid process regions of the cranium. The orthosis includes a rear region which encloses the occipital bone region of the cranium so that flattening of the rear of the head can be treated or prevented. The orthosis is self-suspending. The rear portion of the orthosis imparts ear-to-ear rigidity to the device.

Abstract: An airfoil-shaped attachment to a visor is described which makes unlikely the unintentional removal of the cap to which the visor is attached by wind. The visor attachment, in accordance with the invention, has a cross-section from its front edge to its rear edge which resembles an inverted airfoil.

Abstract: A method of evaluating a joint of a human subject is described. The method combines the steps of determining biomechanical parameters of the joint as well as obtaining clinical self-evaluation information from the subject. The biomechanical parameters and the clinical information are combined in a predetermined manner to provide an evaluation of the joint.

Abstract: A cranial remodeling orthosis is shaped to extend across the top of the head with depending regions closely confining the temporal bone regions and the mastoid process regions of the cranium. The orthosis is self-suspending and preferably includes an elastic band for imparting ear-to-ear rigidity to the device.
