In-field assessment of athletic performance and fatigue onset detection during ice skating using wearable sensors
DownloadFall 2024
Ice skating requires high aerobic and anaerobic fitness levels, well-coordinated body motion, and efficient neuromuscular systems functioning, requiring continuous performance assessment. Inertial measurement units (IMUs), widely used in tracking human motion for medical diagnostics and clinical...

Markerless Surface Topography for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Screening, Torso Aesthetic Appearance Assessment, and Postural Outcomes Evaluation
DownloadFall 2024
The primary goal of conservative treatment for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is to prevent the spinal curve from worsening. Other goals of treatment are to improve aesthetic outcomes through postural correction, address respiratory dysfunction, and treat pain symptoms. The...
