Background Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a progressive growth disease that
affects spinal anatomy, mobility, and left-right trunk symmetry. The disease can modify …

(1) Background: Frequent exposure to ionising radiation is often used to determine the
diagnosis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), a lateral curvature of the spine in those …

In this paper, we present the development of a polymer optical fiber (POF) sensor for
simultaneous measurement of breath (BR) and heart rates (HR). The sensor is embedded …

Background Squatting is a core exercise for many purposes. The tissue loading during
squatting is crucial for positive adaptation and to avoid injury. This study aimed to evaluate …

This paper presents a mathematical model that can be used to virtually reconstruct the
posture of the human spine. By using orientation angles from a wearable monitoring system …

Musculoskeletal models can uniquely estimate in vivo demands and injury risk. In this study,
we aimed to compare muscle activations from subject-specific thoracolumbar spine …

Motion analysis is increasingly applied to spine musculoskeletal models using kinematic
constraints to estimate individual intervertebral joint movements, which cannot be directly …

Measuring the curvature of the lumbar spine is an important challenge in disciplines related
to physical therapy, rehabilitation, and sports medicine seeking to solve the incidence of the …

Background Structural leg length discrepancy (LLD) is a common phenomenon. However,
its effect on spinal gait kinematics remains unclear. Research question How does LLD affect …

Introduction Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common type of three-
dimensional spinal deformity. Identifying the postural adjustments or changes for different …
