Fast Human Motion reconstruction from sparse inertial measurement units considering the human shape.

Nature communications
Inertial Measurement Unit-based methods have great potential in capturing motion in large-scale and complex environments with many people. Sparse Inertial Measurement Unit-based methods have more research value due to their simplicity and flexibility...

A Deep Learning Model for Markerless Pose Estimation Based on Keypoint Augmentation: What Factors Influence Errors in Biomechanical Applications?

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In biomechanics, movement is typically recorded by tracking the trajectories of anatomical landmarks previously marked using passive instrumentation, which entails several inconveniences. To overcome these disadvantages, researchers are exploring dif...

Effects of caudal fin stiffness on optimized forward swimming and turning maneuver in a robotic swimmer.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In animal and robot swimmers of body and caudal fin (BCF) form, hydrodynamic thrust is mainly produced by their caudal fins, the stiffness of which has profound effects on both thrust and efficiency of swimming. Caudal fin stiffness also affects the ...

A Physics-Informed Low-Shot Adversarial Learning for sEMG-Based Estimation of Muscle Force and Joint Kinematics.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Muscle force and joint kinematics estimation from surface electromyography (sEMG) are essential for real-time biomechanical analysis of the dynamic interplay among neural muscle stimulation, muscle dynamics, and kinetics. Recent advances in deep neur...

Hip contact forces can be predicted with a neural network using only synthesised key points and electromyography in people with hip osteoarthritis.
