BACKGROUND: Past studies have utilized external interfaces like resistive bands and motor-generated pulling systems to increase limb propulsion during walking on a motorized treadmill. However, assessing changes in limb propulsion against increasing ...
Different adaptation rates have been reported in studies involving ankle exoskeletons designed to reduce the metabolic cost of their wearers. This work aimed to investigate energetic adaptations occurring over multiple training sessions, while walkin...

PURPOSE: We present an automated method for extracting anatomical parameters from biplanar radiographs of the spine, which is able to deal with a wide scenario of conditions, including sagittal and coronal deformities, degenerative phenomena as well ...
BACKGROUND: Complex clinical gait analysis results can be expressed as single number gait deviations by applying multivariate processing methods. The original Movement Deviation Profile (MDP) quantifies the deviation of abnormal gait using the most t...
The use of robotic systems combined with force sensing is emerging as the gold standard for in vitro biomechanical joint testing, due to the advantage of controlling all six degrees of freedom independently of one another. This paper describes a nove...
The basic requirements for mechanical design and control strategy are adapting to human joint movements and building an interaction model between human and robot. In this paper, a 3-UPS parallel mechanism is adopted to realize that the instantaneous ...
The purpose of this study was to develop and train a Neural Network (NN) that uses barbell mass and motions to predict hip, knee, and ankle Net Joint Moments (NJM) during a weightlifting exercise. Seven weightlifters performed two cleans at 85% of th...
This study examines the ability of commonly used supervised learning techniques to classify the execution of a maximum effort change of direction task into predefined movement pattern as well as the influence of fuzzy executions and the impact of sel...
Hip Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease among the middle-aged and elderly people. Conventionally, hip OA is diagnosed by manually assessing X-ray images. This study took the hip joint as the object of observation and explored the diagnostic value...
