The difficulty of estimating joint kinematics remains a critical barrier toward widespread use of inertial measurement units in biomechanics. Traditional sensor-fusion filters are largely reliant on magnetometer readings, which may be disturbed in un...
It is unclear whether postural sway characteristics could be used as diagnostic biomarkers for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The purpose of this study was to develop and validate an automated identification of postural control patterns in children ...
Inertial-measurement-unit (IMU)-based wearable gait-monitoring systems provide kinematic information but kinetic information, such as ground reaction force (GRF) are often needed to assess gait symmetry and joint loading. Recent studies have reported...
Performance during seated balancing is often used to assess trunk neuromuscular control, including evaluating impairments in back pain populations. Balancing in less challenging environments allows for flexibility in control, which may not depend on ...
Current research suggests that the wrist extensor muscles function as the primary stabilizers of the wrist-joint complex. However, most investigations have utilized isometric study designs, with little consideration for wrist dynamics or changes in p...
Functioning as wrist stabilizers, the wrist extensor muscles exhibit higher levels of muscle activity than the flexors in most distal upper-limb tasks. However, this finding has been derived mostly from isometric or wrist flexion-extension protocols,...
The ability to visualize and interpret high dimensional time-series data will be critical as wearable and other sensors are adopted in rehabilitation protocols. This study proposes a latent space representation of high dimensional time-series data fo...
Numerical analysis methods including finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis have been used to study the biomechanics of human tissues and organs, as well as tissue-medical dev...
The stance and swing phases of the gait cycle are defined by foot strike (FS) and foot off (FO). Accurate determination of these events is thus an essential component of 3D motion recordings processing. Several methods have been developed for the aut...
In the existing patency prediction model of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), the characteristics are based on graft flow, but no researchers selected hemodynamic factors as the characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to study whether the...
