Low-back pain (LBP) is a widespread disease which can also be highly disabling, but physicians lack of basic understanding and diagnosis tools. During this study, we have designed and built a new wearable device capable of detecting…
Fundamental knowledge in activity recognition of individuals with motor disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) has been primarily limited to detection of steady-state/static tasks (sitting, standing, walking). To date, identification of…
Background The incidence of stroke places a heavy burden on both society and individuals. Activity is closely related to cardiovascular health. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the varying domains of PA, like…
Objectives: To quantify the magnitude of spinal deformity in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), the Cobb angle is measured on X-ray images of the spine. Continuous exposure to X-ray radiation to follow-up the progression of scoliosis…
Chronic low back pain (cLBP) is a prevalent condition with profound impacts on functioning and quality of life. While multiple evidence-based treatments exist, they all have modest average treatment effects$\unicode{x2013}$potentially due…
Objective: The purpose of this study is to perform analysis through the low back pain open data set to predict the incidence of non-specific chronic low back pain (NSLBP) to obtain a more accurate and convenient sagittal spinopelvic…
Human locomotion involves continuously variable activities including walking, running, and stair climbing over a range of speeds and inclinations as well as sit-stand, walk-run, and walk-stairs transitions. Understanding the kinematics and…
Quantifying lumbar back motion during functional activities in real-life environments may contribute to a better understanding of common pathologies such as spinal disorders. The current study therefore aimed at the comparative evaluation…
Low physical activity is a known risk factor for major depressive disorder (MDD), but changes in activity before a first clinical diagnosis remain unclear, especially using long-term objective measurements. This study characterized…
Lifting up objects from the floor has been identified as a risk factor for low back pain, whereby a flexed spine during lifting is often associated with producing higher loads in the lumbar spine. Even though recent biomechanical studies…
Biomechanics and human movement research often involves measuring multiple kinematic or kinetic variables regularly throughout a movement, yielding data that present as smooth, multivariate, time-varying curves and are naturally amenable to…
Personalized longitudinal disease assessment is central to quickly diagnosing, appropriately managing, and optimally adapting the therapeutic strategy of multiple sclerosis (MS). It is also important for identifying the idiosyncratic…
As a traditional tool of external assistance, crutches play an important role in society. They have a wide range of applications to help either the elderly and disabled to walk or to treat certain illnesses or for post-operative…
Critical care patients experience varying levels of pain during their stay in the intensive care unit, often requiring administration of analgesics and sedation. Such medications generally exacerbate the already sedentary physical activity…
Around 50 billion dollars is spent yearly on therapy for low back pain in the United States alone. Low back pain is one of the most common reasons for doctor visits. Having poor posture has been found to be a main cause of lower back pain…
Knowledge on joint impedance during walking in various conditions is relevant for clinical decision-making and the development of robotic gait trainers, leg prostheses, leg orthotics and wearable exoskeletons. Whereas ankle impedance during…
Low back pain (LBP) and sciatica may require surgical therapy when they are symptomatic of severe pain. However, there is no effective measures to evaluate the surgical outcomes in advance. This work combined elements of Eastern medicine…
Back pain is one of the leading causes of disability-adjusted life year globally and the most common cause of low back pain is poor sitting posture. There are several actions that can be adopted proactively to avoid poor sitting posture…
Local dynamic stability (LDS) quantifies how a system responds to small perturbations. Several experimental and clinical findings have highlighted the association between gait LDS and fall risk. Walking without shoes is known to slightly…
Objective: A numerical 3D model of the human trunk was developed to study the biomechanical effects of lumbar belts used to treat low back pain. Methods: This model was taken from trunk radiographies of a person and simplified so as to make…
