age. This decline in capacity may result in the inability to stand up (sit-to-stand, sit-to-walk) …

Background The trunk is the foundation for transfer and dissipation of forces throughout the
lower extremity kinetic chain. Individuals with knee disorders may employ trunk …

Physical function decline due to aging or disease can be assessed with quantitative motion
analysis, but this currently requires expensive laboratory equipment. We introduce a self …

Frameworks for human activity recognition (HAR) can be applied in the clinical environment
for monitoring patients' motor and functional abilities either remotely or within a rehabilitation …

Objectives Pain is a risk factor for falls in older adults, but the mechanisms are not well
