Marker-based motion capture (MBMC) is a powerful tool for precise, high-speed, three-dimensional tracking of animal movements, enabling detailed study of behaviors ranging from subtle limb trajectories to broad spatial exploration. Despite its proven...
BACKGROUND: Wearable sensors combined with deep-learning models are increasingly being used to predict biomechanical variables. Researchers have focused on either simple neural networks or complex pretrained models with multiple layers. In addition, ...
People with Parkinson's Disease (PD) often experience progressively worsening gait, including changes in how they turn around, as the disease progresses. Existing clinical rating tools are not capable of capturing hour-by-hour variations of PD sympto...

Low-beta (L, 13-20 Hz) power plays a key role in upper-limb motor control and afferent processing, making it a strong candidate for a neurophysiological biomarker. We investigate the test-retest reliability of Lpower and kinematic features from a rob...
This study reviewed the literature regarding reliability and validity of markerless motion capture (MMC) for measuring lower extremities and trunk kinematics during sports-related and functional tasks. Articles published until 28 February 2024 were a...
Many invertebrates voluntarily lose (autotomize) limbs during antagonistic encounters, and some regenerate functional replacements. Because limb loss can have severe consequences on individual fitness, it is likely subject to significant selective pr...
BACKGROUND: Stroke-induced upper limb dysfunction requires functional assessment and rehabilitation. The intelligent rehabilitation assessment and virtual reality training system for upper limb motor function in stroke can accurately and objectively ...
To enhance the adaptability of tree-climbing robots to changes in tree diameter and load capacity, an "I-shaped" pneumatic flexible tree - climbing robot was designed using self-developed pneumatic flexible joints and retractable needle anchors. The ...
The American Society of Biomechanics (ASB) Jim Hay Memorial Award recognizes individuals for their original long-term contributions to the field of biomechanics. The recipient's work is highlighted at the Jim Hay Symposium held during the ASB annual ...
The increasing prevalence of central nervous system (CNS) disorders has imposed a significant social and economic burden on healthcare systems. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) presents a major challenge for effective drug delivery to the brain, hinderi...
