Nowadays, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has a wide application in transportation. For
instance, by leveraging it, we are able to perform accurate and real-time vehicle speed …

Abstract Background: Sit-to-stand (STS) is a crucial transfer influencing a person's
independence in daily activities, as well as safety and quality of life, and is thus vital to …

Objective The aim of this study was to detect the key changes during sit-to-stand (STS)
movement cycle in hemiparetic stroke survivors using a five-phase kinematic and kinetic …

Foodservice workers perform several burdensome, tedious, and unsafe tasks that risk their
health and well-being. This could be mitigated or even more avoided by using …

Purpose In order to evaluate the movement strategy in sit-to-stand (STS) motion, it is
necessary to measure the center of gravity (COG). However, there is no established method …

Adults with spinal deformity (ASD) are known to have spinal malalignment affecting their
quality of life and daily life activities. While walking kinematics were shown to be altered in …

Computational models of the human body coupled with optimization can be used to predict
the influence of variables that cannot be experimentally manipulated. Here, we present a …

Optimisation-based predictive models are widely-used to explore the lifting strategies.
Existing models incorporated empirical subject-specific posture constraints to improve the …

A manual material handling task involves the phases of reaching, lifting, unloading, and
standing up (RLUS). Understanding the mechanisms of manual material handling is …

Background This study investigated the whole-body stability dynamics during upright stance
by applying a set of variables characterizing the mathematical optimization process that …
