Cover Story: Underarm-throwing motions are crucial in various sports, including boccia. People with profound weakness, spasticity, athetosis, or deformity in the upper limb find it difficult to control their hands to hold or release a ball using their fingers at the proper timing, unlike healthy players. To help them, our study aims to understand underarm-throwing motions based on a geometric relationship between shoulder movements and launch angles. This study also defines a throwing intention as the launch angle during underarm throws. Next, shoulder movements as input signals for throwing estimation are employed. Assuming that the throwing intention will be introduced into assistive devices, we show an estimation scheme that accounts for contactless sensors and can be used in various places. View this paper
