The countermovement jump (CMJ) assessment is widely employed for monitoring sports performance, traditionally relying on heavy and expensive force plates to extract performance variables like jump height and peak force. Inertial measurement unit (IMU...
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...
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are becoming a regular tool to support biomechanical methods, while physics-based models are widespread to understand the mechanics of body in motion. Thus, this study aimed to demonstrate the accuracy of recurrent A...
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...
