Stoke is a leading cause of long-term disability, including upper-limb hemiparesis. Frequent, unobtrusive assessment of naturalistic motor performance could enable clinicians to better assess rehabilitation effectiveness and monitor patients' recover...
Gait abnormalities are frequent in children and can be caused by different pathologies, such as cerebral palsy, neuromuscular disease, toe walker syndrome, etc. Analysis of the "gait pattern" (i.e., the way the person walks) using 3D analysis provide...
Gait models and reference motions are essential for the objective assessment of walking patterns and therapy progress, as well as research in the field of wearable robotics and rehabilitation devices in general. A human can achieve a desired gait spe...

Gait coordination (GC), meaning that one leg moves in the same pattern but with a specific phase lag to the other, is a spontaneous behavior in the walking of a healthy person. It is also crucial for unilateral amputees with the robotic leg prosthesi...
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common musculoskeletal pain disorder experienced by runners. While biomechanics of those with PFP have been extensively studied, methodological considerations may omit important adaptations exhibited by those experienci...
Ergonomic risks, driven by strenuous physical demands in complex work settings, are prevalent across industries. Addressing these challenges through detailed assessment and effective interventions enhances safety and employee well-being. Proper and t...

BACKGROUND: Despite the existence of evidence-based rehabilitation strategies that address biomechanical deficits, the persistence of recurrent ankle problems in 70% of patients with acute ankle sprains highlights the unresolved nature of this issue....
Fish coordinate the motion of their fins and body to create the time-varying forces required for swimming and agile maneuvers. To effectively adapt this biological strategy for underwater robots, it is necessary to understand how the location and coo...
