sEMG signals hold significant potential for motion prediction, with promising applications in areas such as rehabilitation, sports training, and human-computer interaction. However, achieving robust prediction accuracy remains a critical challenge, a...
Industrial exoskeletons (a.k.a. wearable robots) have been developed to reduce musculoskeletal fatigue and work injuries. Human joint kinematics and human-robot alignment are important measurements in understanding the effects of industrial exoskelet...
The study hypothesised that a markerless motion capture system can provide kinematic data comparable to a traditional marker-based system for riders mounted on a horse. The objective was to assess the markerless system's accuracy by directly comparin...
Animal bodies act as physical controllers, with their finely tuned passive mechanical responses physically "encoding" complex movements and environmental interactions. This capability allows animals to perform challenging tasks with minimal muscular ...

Tails used as inertial appendages induce body rotations of animals and robots-a phenomenon that is governed largely by the ratio of the body and tail moments of inertia. However, vertebrate tails have more degrees of freedom (e.g. number of joints an...
BACKGROUND: Inter-segment joint angles can be obtained from inertial measurement units (IMUs); however, accurate 3D joint motion measurement, which requires sensor fusion and signal processing, sensor alignment with segments and joint axis calibratio...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is heterogeneous and involves structural changes in the whole joint, such as cartilage, meniscus/labrum, ligaments, and tendons, mainly with short T2 relaxation times. Detecting OA before the onset of irreversible changes is cruci...
OBJECTIVES: Predicting rheumatoid arthritis (RA) progression in undifferentiated arthritis (UA) patients remains a challenge. Traditional approaches combining clinical assessments and ultrasonography (US) often lack accuracy due to the complex intera...
