The rising importance of movement analysis led to the development of more complex
biomechanical models to describe in detail the human motion patterns. The models scaled …

Observational balance tests (eg, Berg Balance Scale) are used to evaluate fall-risk.
However, they tend to be subjective, and their reliability and sensitivity can be limited. The …

An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is the ideal technology for ambulatory measurement of
human motion. However, because an IMU measures acceleration and angular velocity in its …

Musculoskeletal simulations can be used to estimate biomechanical variables like muscle
forces and joint torques from non-invasive experimental data using inverse and forward …

Individuals with spinal cord injury suffer from seated instability due to impaired trunk
neuromuscular function. Monitoring seated stability toward the development of closed-loop …

Objective. Characterizing the task goals of the neural control system for achieving seated
stability has been a fundamental challenge in human motor control research. This study …

Background Motion assessment of the body's head-arms-trunk (HAT) using linked-segment
models, along with an inverse dynamics approach, can enable in vivo estimations of inter …

Objective. Determining the roles of underlying mechanisms involved in stabilizing the
human trunk during sitting is a fundamental challenge in human motor control. However …

Elderly individuals and those affected by neuromuscular disorders are frequently not able to
independently maintain seated balance. As a result, these individuals are limited in …

Falls are one of the most frequent causes of injury in the elderly and ambulatory individuals
with neuromuscular impairments. Standing balance impairment is among the most …
