OBJECTIVE: High-volume injections (HVIs) are thought to target neovascularization in chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy (AT), yet the mechanism has not been clarified. Therefore, we aim to evaluate whether a HVI decreases ultrasonographic Doppl...
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to verify improved, ensemble-based strategy for inferencing with use of our solution for quantitative assessment of tendons and ligaments healing process and to show possible applications of the method.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Tendon segmentation is crucial for studying tendon-related pathologies like tendinopathy, tendinosis, etc. This step further enables detailed analysis of specific tendon regions using automated or semi-automated methods. Thi...
Gait analysis is crucial for identifying functional deviations from the normal gait cycle and is essential for the individualized treatment of motor disorders such as cerebral palsy (CP). The primary contribution of this study is the introduction of ...
