Analysis of Human Motion Data Using Recurrence Plots and Recurrence Quantification Measures

The authors present exemplary application of recurrence plots and recurrence quantification analysis for the purpose of exploration of experimental time series describing the movements of the hip joint during a few selected assisted rehabilitation exercises maintaining mobility of the hip in case of coxarthrosis. Time series were extracted from motion sequences which were recorded in the Human Motion Laboratory (HML) of the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology in Bytom, Poland by means of the Vicon Motion Kinematics Acquisition and Analysis System. Additionally, some features of a recurrence plot were presented on the basis of the Rabinovich-Fabrikant system.
