Diabetic foot Ulceration (DFU) is a severe complication of diabetic foot syndrome, often leading to amputation. In patients with neuropathy, ulcer formation is facilitated by elevated plantar tissue stress under insensate feet. This study presents a ...
Diabetes mellitus is a worldwide epidemic that leads to significant changes in foot shape, deformities, and ulcers. Precise classification of diabetic foot not only helps identify foot abnormalities but also facilitates personalized treatment and pre...
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...
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...
This work presents a comparative study of low cost and low invasiveness sensors (plantar pressure and inertial measurement units) for classifying cross-country skiing techniques. A dataset was created for symmetrical comparative analysis, with data c...
BACKGROUND: The gold standard method for diagnosing low bone mineral density (BMD) is using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) however, most patients with low BMD are often not screened. We aimed to create a deep learning (DL) model to screen for...
Four-legged robots are becoming increasingly pivotal in navigating challenging environments, such as construction sites and disaster zones. While substantial progress in robotic mobility has been achieved using reinforcement learning techniques, quad...
. Start hesitation is a key issue for individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) during gait initiation. Visual cues have proven effective in enhancing gait initiation. When applied to laser-light shoes, swing-limb detection efficiently activates the ...
