Determining worker's body posture during load handling activities is the first step toward assessing and managing occupational risk of musculoskeletal injuries. Traditional approaches for the measurement of body posture are impractical in real work s...
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...
Crutches are of extensive applications in the field of rehabilitation. Comprehensively analyzing the ground reaction forces (GRFs) on both crutches and feet can evaluate the patients' walking function recovery. Given more force platforms are needed i...

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) have become attractive for monitoring joint kinematics due to their portability and versatility. However, their limited accuracy, inability to analyze data in real-time, and complex data fusion algorithms requiring p...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
