This study presents a novel wearable solution integrating Polymer Optical Fiber (POF) sensors into a knee sleeve to monitor knee flexion/extension (F/E) patterns during walking. POF sensors offer advantages such as flexibility, light weight, and robu...
This study aims to solve the problems of insufficient accuracy and low efficiency of the existing methods in sprint pattern recognition to optimize the training and competition strategies of athletes. Firstly, the data collected in this study come fr...
Lameness detection in horses is a critical challenge in equine veterinary practice, particularly when symptoms are mild. This study aimed to develop a predictive system using a support vector machine (SVM) to identify the affected limb in horses trot...
This study introduces a deep learning framework for estimating lower-limb joint kinematics using inertial measurement units (IMUs). While deep learning methods avoid sensor drift, extensive calibration, and complex setup procedures, they require subs...
In biomimetic design, researchers recreate existing biological structures to form functional devices. For biohybrid robotic swimmers assembled with tissue engineering, this is problematic because most devices operate at different length scales than t...
Cultured muscle tissue serves as a power source in biohybrid robots that demonstrate diverse motions. However, current designs typically only drive simple substrates on a small scale, limiting flexibility and controllability. To address this, we prop...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), are prone to pressure injury (PI) in the soft tissues of buttocks. Early prediction of PI holds the potential to reduce the occurrence and progression of PI. This study proposes a mach...
BACKGROUND: Knee kinematics during daily activities reflect disease severity preoperatively and are associated with clinical outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It is widely believed that measured kinematics would be useful for preoperative...
