Principal component analysis (PCA) is a dimensionality reduction method that has identified
significant differences in older adults' motion analysis previously not detected by the discrete …

Chronic musculoskeletal pain condition often shows poor correlations between tissue
abnormalities and clinical pain. Therefore, classification of pain conditions like chronic low …

In addition to changes in spatio-temporal and kinematic parameters, patients with stroke
exhibit fear of falling as well as fatigability during gait. These changes could compromise …

Principal component analysis is a powerful tool in biomechanics for reducing complex
multivariate datasets to a subset of important parameters. However, interpreting the …

Background Increased unilateral foot pronation may cause biomechanical changes on the
lower limbs during gait. We investigated the effects of increased unilateral foot pronation on …

Although mild leg length discrepancy is related to lower limb injuries, there is no consensus
regarding its effects on the biomechanics of the lower limbs during gait. Biomechanical data …

Purpose Automatic skill evaluation is of great importance in surgical robotic training.
Extensive research has been done to evaluate surgical skill, and a variety of quantitative …

Background and Purpose: Gait speed, mobility, and postural transitions should be taken into
account in older adults with frailty syndrome and can be assessed by the Timed Up and Go …
