An Enhanced Spine Model Validated for Simulating Dynamic Lifting Tasks in OpenSim
A fully articulated thoracolumbar spine model had been previously developed in OpenSim and had been extensively validated against experimental data during various static tasks. In the present study, we enhance...

Smartwatch-Based Prediction of Single-Stride and Stride-to-Stride Gait Outcomes Using Regression-Based Machine Learning
Spatiotemporal variability during gait is linked to fall risk and could be monitored using wearable sensors. Although many users prefer wrist-worn sensors, most applications position at other sites. We develop...

UROKIN: A Software to Enhance Our Understanding of Urogenital Motion
Transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) allows for objective quantification of mid-sagittal urogenital mechanics, yet current practice omits dynamic motion information in favor of analyzing only a rest and a peak moti...

The Effects of Experimentally Induced Low Back Pain on Spine Rotational Stiffness and Local Dynamic Stability
Local dynamic stability, quantified using the maximum finite-time Lyapunov exponent (λ max), and the muscular contributions to spine rotational stiffness can provide pertinent information ...
