Background Many multi-segment foot models based on skin-markers have been proposed
for in-vivo kinematic analysis of foot joints. It remains unclear whether these models have …

Our objective was to conduct a scoping review which summarizes the growing body of
literature using wearable inertial sensors for gait analysis in lower limb osteoarthritis. We …

Musculoskeletal disorders are a major category of nonfatal work-related diseases in the
industry. Therefore, various risk factor assessment methods, such as Rapid Upper Limb …

In biomechanics, joint kinetics has an important role in evaluating the mechanical load of the
joint and understanding its motor function. Although an optical motion capture (OMC) system …

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 …

Monitoring natural human gait in real-life environments is essential in many applications,
including quantification of disease progression, monitoring the effects of treatment, and …

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 …

The Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) is frequently used to monitor body posture for
early risk prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. However, RULA …

Inertial sensors designed for wearable devices in lower limbs need to be calibrated with
complicated steps before measurements, and the attachments of body also influence the …

To analyze human motion such as daily activities or sports outside of the laboratory,
wearable motion analysis systems have been recently developed. In this study, the joint …
