Hypogravity modeling of upper extremities: an investigation of manual handling in the workplace

Experiments on the lower limbs are the only approaches being used to study how hypogravity (HG) (0 < g < 1, e.g., Moon: 1/6 g, Mars: 3/8 g) affects human movement. The goal of this study was to expand this field experimentally by investigating the effect o ...

Association of the Posterior Acromion Extension with Glenoid Retroversion: A CT Study in Normal and Osteoarthritic Shoulders

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Patrick Goetti, Frédéric Vauclair

Posterior eccentric glenoid wear is associated with higher complication rates after shoulder arthroplasty. The recently reported association between the acromion shape and glenoid retroversion in both normal and osteoarthritic shoulders remains controversi ...

Assessment of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy using a deep learning method for muscle T2 mapping segmentation

Qian Wang, Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Yao Zhang, Yubo Zhao

Objective To investigate the utility of an automatic deep learning (DL) method for segmentation of T2 maps in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) against healthy controls, and also the association of quantitative T2 values in patients with ...

Biomechanical Response of the Lower Extremity to Running-Induced Acute Fatigue: A Systematic Review

Kamiar Aminian, Salil Apte, Gaëlle Prigent

Objective: To investigate (i) typical protocols used in research on biomechanical response to running-induced fatigue, (ii) the effect of sport-induced acute fatigue on the biomechanics of running and functional tests, and (iii) the consistency of analyzed ...

Changes in ambulatory knee adduction moment with lateral wedge insoles differ with respect to the natural foot progression angle

Julien Favre

Lateral wedge insoles (LWI) have been proposed to reduce the knee adduction moment (KAM) during walking; a biomechanical modification notably sought in case of medial knee osteoarthritis. However, the inter-individual inconsistency in KAM changes with LWI ...

Variable-stiffness tensegrity spine

Dario Floreano, Davide Zappetti, Enrico Ajanic, Roc Arandes Vilagrasa

Vertebrates, including amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, with their ability to change the stiffness of the spine to increase load-bearing capability or flexibility, have inspired roboticists to develop artificial variable-stiffness spines. However, ...

Lumbar and thoracic kinematics during step-up: Comparison of three-dimensional angles between patients with chronic low back pain and asymptomatic individuals

Julien Favre, Guillaume Christe

While alterations in spinal kinematics have been repeatedly observed in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP), their exact nature is still unknown. Specifically, there is a need for comprehensive assessments of multisegment spinal angles during daily- ...

Balance Control Strategies during Standing in a Locked-Ankle Passive Exoskeleton

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Jemina Fasola, Tristan Hubert Vouga, Romain Pierre François Baud

This paper investigates sensorimotor adaptation strategies of sagittal postural control in healthy subjects under kinematic constraints. A passive exoskeleton named CAPTUR, with locked ankle joints and legs motion restrained to the sagittal plane is used t ...

Biomechanical effects of passive hip springs during walking

Passive spring-like structures can store and return energy during cyclic movements and thereby reduce the energetic cost of locomotion. That makes them important components of the human body and wearable assistive devices alike. This study investigates how ...

Learning Trajectory Dependencies for Human Motion Prediction

Mathieu Salzmann, Hongwei Li, Wei Mao

Human motion prediction, i.e., forecasting future body poses given observed pose sequence, has typically been tackled with recurrent neural networks (RNNs). However, as evidenced by prior work, the resulted RNN models suffer from prediction errors accumula ...
