Graphs The purpose of this assignment is to generate the biomechanical data and graphs that you will analyze subsequently in your project. Before you begin there are a few things you should know about Excel. In order to transform the raw data and generate the kinematic data for your project, you will need to follow the detailed, step-by-step instructions provided on the How to Use Motion Analyse page. Here's what you need to do: 1. Transform files.  Use Motion Analyse to transform the "atrimMC.text" and "btrimMC.text" files - name the Excel workbooks "atrimMC transformed" and "btrimMC transformed" and save them in your "workbooks" folder - after all the graphs have been made, make a copy of both "atrimMC transformed" and "btrimMC transformed" workbooks by selecting "Save As..." from the "File" menu and naming the new workbooks "atrimDATA" and "btrimDATA," respectively - your "workbooks" folder should contain the following files - "atrimMC.txt" and "btrimMC.txt" - "atrimMC transformed" and "btrimMC transformed" - "atrimDATA" and "btrimDATA" 2. Generate graphs.  Use Motion Analyse to generate the following kinematic data and graphs: - stick figure (fig2a and fig2b) - segment angle (fig3a and fig3b) - joint angle 1 (fig4a and fig4b) - joint angle 2 (fig5a and fig5b) - joint angular velocity (fig6a and fig6b) - linear displacement (fig8a and fig8b) - linear velocity (fig9a and fig9b) 3. Back up your data.  Make copies of today's files to each team member's ZIP disk to backup your work. 4. Copy to your facilitator's ZIP disk. Copy the contents of your most up-to-date ZIP disk to your facilitator's ZIP disk before leaving lab.   Grading Here's what you turn in (25 pts total): 1. Print-outs of the graphs to your facilitator (25 pts total) - front page of print-outs (4 pts) - project team name (1 pt) - name and uniqname of each team member (1 pt) - name and uniqname of facilitator (1 pt) - stapled (1 pt) - graphs (21 pts total) - completed graphs (14 @ 0.5pts) - identify the variable that is graphed (e.g., "hip joint angle", "trunk segment angle") (14 @ 0.5 pts) - label with figure number (e.g., "fig2a") at top of each page (14 @ 0.5 pts)   top   Melissa Gross , Ph.D. - mgross@umich.edu The University of Michigan, Division of Kinesiology Revised 8/00 ©1996 Melissa Gross, Ph.D.
