Figure Captions

The purpose of this assignment is to write the captions for your figures.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Open Results file.  Open "results1" document in the "text" folder on your ZIP disk.

2. Write figure captions.  Open "results1" document and write figure captions for the graphs listed below according to the instructions provided in the Project Requirements document. Then copy and paste each graph from Excel into a blank line above its corresponding figure caption.

- 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. Backup files.  Make copies of today's files to each team member's ZIP disk.

4. Copy to your facilitator's disk. Have your facilitator copy the contents of your most up-to-date ZIP disk to their ZIP disk.


Grading

Here's what you turn in (50 pts total):

1. Print-out of the "results1" file to your facilitator for a format check (1 pt)

2. Print-out of each figure with figure caption (49 pts total):

Fig 2. Stick figure (7 pts):

- 2 pts for identifying movements correctly
- 2 pts for identifying body segments correctly
- 2 pts for explaining the direction of motion
- 1 pt for explaining reference markers

Fig 3. Segment angle (7 pts):

- 1 pt for identifying segment and movements correctly
- 2 pts for explaining how the segment angle is calculated
- 2 pts for identifying anatomical position
- 2 pts for identifying increasing values as clockwise or counter-clockwise

Fig 4. Joint angle 1 (7 pts):

- 1 pt for identifying joint and movements correctly
- 2 pts for explaining how the joint angle is calculated
- 2 pts for identifying anatomical position
- 2 pts for identifying increasing values as flexion or extension

Fig 5. Joint angle 2 (7 pts):

- same as Figure 4  

Fig 6. Joint angular velocity (7 pts):

- 1 pt for identifying movements correctly
- 4 pts for identifying positive velocity as extensor or flexor velocity
- 2 pts for identifying which joint angular velocity is graphed 

Fig 8. Linear displacement (7 pts):

- 1 pt for identifying markers and movements correctly 
- 2 pts for identifying increasing horizontal values as forward or backward motion
- 2 pts for identifying increasing vertical values as upward or downward motion
- 2 pts for identifying colored lines

Fig 9. Linear velocity (7 pts):

- 1 pt for identifying markers and movements correctly
- 2 pts for identifying positive horizontal velocities as forward or backward
- 2 pts for identifying positive vertical velocities as upward or downward
- 2 pts for identifying colored lines
