Radiographic imaging is typically used to diagnose osteoarthritis (OA). However, patients would typically be sent for imaging after they present to a physician because of joint pain. By this time, the condition is likely irreversible. This study aims...
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 ...
The use of 3D marker-based motion analysis systems is considered the gold standard for tracking limb movements. However, these systems are expensive, limited to laboratory settings, and difficult to apply when studying paediatric populations. Therefo...

The coordination of muscles in human locomotion is commonly understood as the integration of motor modules known as muscle synergies. Recent research has delved into the adaptation of muscle synergies during the acquisition of new motor skills. Howev...
Campus walking environments significantly influence college students' daily lives and shape their subjective perceptions. However, previous studies have been constrained by limited sample sizes and inefficient, time-consuming methodologies. To addres...
Several studies have highlighted the advantages of employing artificial intelligence (AI) models in gait analysis. However, the credibility and practicality of integrating these models into clinical gait routines remain uncertain. This study critical...
Most walking organisms tend to have relatively light limbs and heavy bodies in order to facilitate rapid limb motion. However, the limbs of brittle stars (Class Ophiuroidea) are primarily comprised of dense skeletal elements, with potentially much hi...
BACKGROUND: The assessment and enhancement of lower limb motor function in hemiplegic patients is of paramount importance. The emergence of lower limb rehabilitation robots offers a promising avenue for improving motor function in these patients, add...
Rehabilitation robotics aims to promote activity-dependent reorganization of the nervous system. However, people with paralysis cannot generate sufficient activity during robot-assisted rehabilitation and, consequently, do not benefit from these ther...
Population aging is an inevitable trend in contemporary society, and the application of technologies such as human-machine interaction, assistive healthcare, and robotics in daily service sectors continues to increase. The lower limb exoskeleton reha...
