The coordination of muscles in human locomotion is commonly understood as the integration of motor modules known as muscle synergies. Recent research has delved into the adaptation of muscle synergies during the acquisition of new motor skills. Howev...
Several studies have highlighted the advantages of employing artificial intelligence (AI) models in gait analysis. However, the credibility and practicality of integrating these models into clinical gait routines remain uncertain. This study critical...
Athletes and coaches may seek to improve running performance through adjustments to running form. Running form refers to the biomechanical characteristics of a runner's movement, and can distinguish individual runners as well as groups of runners, su...
Awkward postures are a significant contributor to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs), which represent great social and economic burdens. Various posture assessment tools assess WRMSD risk but fall short in providing an elucidating risk b...
Maintaining the balance and safety of the exoskeleton human-robot coupling system is a prerequisite for realizing the rehabilitation training function. Therefore, research on the balance of lower limb exoskeleton robots has attracted much attention. ...
Inertial measurement units offer a cost-effective, portable alternative to lab-based motion capture systems. However, measuring joint angles and movement trajectories with inertial measurement units is challenging due to signal drift errors caused by...
A common shoulder problem that significantly detracts from patients' quality of life is shoulder instability (SI). Abnormal scapular positioning and movement are closely associated with rotator cuff injuries and SI, as shown by several studies. The a...
The cushioning performance of insole has always been a critical consideration in its design. While the development of intelligent methods and the emergence of additive manufacturing (AM) technology have enhanced design freedom and convenience, a stan...
BACKGROUND: Hands-and-knees crawling is a promising rehabilitation intervention for infants with motor impairments, while research on assistive crawling devices for rehabilitation training was still in its early stages. In particular, precisely gener...
