Bone and cartilage tissues are physiologically dynamic organs that are systematically regulated by mechanical inputs. At cellular level, mechanical stimulation engages an intricate network where mechano-sensors and transmitters cooperate to manipulat...
The human foot is a complex structure comprising 26 bones, whose coordinated movements facilitate proper deformation of the foot, ensuring stable and efficient locomotion. Despite their critical role, the kinematics of foot bones during movement rema...
Recent reports have suggested that there may be a relationship between footstrike pattern and overuse injury incidence and type. With the recent increase in wearable sensors, it is important to identify paradigms where the footstrike pattern can be d...
Models of physical phenomena can be developed using two distinct approaches: using expert knowledge of the underlying physical principles or using experimental data to train a neural network. Here, our aim was to better understand the advantages and ...
Time-series data are common in biomechanical studies. These data often undergo pre-processing steps such as time normalization or filtering prior to use in further analyses, including deep-learning classification. In this context, it remains unclear ...
In general, muscle activity can be directly measured using Electromyography (EMG) or calculated with musculoskeletal models. However, both methods are not suitable for non-technical users and unstructured environments. It is desired to establish more...
Full-length radiographs contain information from which many anatomical parameters of the pelvis, femur, and tibia may be derived, but only a few anatomical parameters are used for musculoskeletal modeling. This study aimed to develop a fully automati...
In clinical practice, functional limitations in patients with low back pain are subjectively assessed, potentially leading to misdiagnosis and prolonged pain. This paper proposes an objective deep learning (DL) markerless motion capture system that u...
Gait models and reference motions are essential for the objective assessment of walking patterns and therapy progress, as well as research in the field of wearable robotics and rehabilitation devices in general. A human can achieve a desired gait spe...
Single bicycle crashes, i.e., falls and impacts not involving a collision with another road user, are a significantly underestimated road safety problem. The motions and behaviours of falling people, or fall kinematics, are often investigated in the ...
