Physics-based modeling methods have the potential to investigate the mechanical factors associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and predict the future radiographic condition of the joint. However, it remains unclear what level of detail is optimal i...
Laboratory studies have limitations in screening for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk due to their lack of ecological validity. Machine learning (ML) methods coupled with wearable sensors are state-of-art approaches for joint load estimat...
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a neural network to estimate hip contact forces (HCF), and lower body kinematics and kinetics during walking in individuals with hip osteoarthritis (OA) using synthesised anatomical key points and electromyography. ...
Musculoskeletal models have indispensable applications in occupational risk assessment/management and clinical treatment/rehabilitation programs. To estimate muscle forces and joint loads, these models require body posture during the activity under c...
The advent of variable stiffness soft robotic grippers furnishes a conduit for exploration and manipulation within uncharted, non-structured environments. The paper provides a comprehensive review of the necessary technologies for the configuration d...

PURPOSE: Delayed diagnosis of syndesmosis instability can lead to significant morbidity and accelerated arthritic change in the ankle joint. Weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) has shown promising potential for early and reliable detection of i...
Owing to their compliance, soft robots demonstrate enhanced compatibility with humans and the environment compared with traditional rigid robots. However, ensuring the working effectiveness of artificial muscles that actuate soft robots in confined s...
BACKGROUND: After a total hip arthroplasty (THA), standing and walking balance are greatly affected in the early stages of recovery, so it is important to increase the weight-bearing amount (WBA) on the operated side. Sometimes, traditional treatment...
Angle measurement methods for measuring pes planus may lose consistency by errors between observers. If the feature points for angle measurement can be provided in advance with the algorithm developed through the deep learning method, it is thought t...
