First of all, the concurrency of FE02 Stepper with human movements was analysed. After the errors were determined, a new mechanism was designed and analysed by using algebraic position analysis method and implemented in Microsoft Excel 2007® and modeled by using Rhinoceros Evolution v4.0®.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPhysical fitness--Equipment and supplies--Design and constructionStraight-line mechanismsBiomechanicsHuman mechanicsSporting goods--Design and constructionMaster Thesis
