Why Do Humans Twist Their Ankle: A Nonlinear Dynamical Stability Model for Lower Limb [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Although ankle injuries resulting from postural instability are frequently observed during high-speed and intense physical activities, most current research has been limited to static or quasi-static models of the lower limb, or has focused solely on the ankle joint itself. In this study, to explain the kinetic mechanism underlying postural instability

Assessment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Risk Based on Human Key Points Detection Algorithm [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This paper aims to detect the potential injury risk of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) by proposing an ACL potential injury risk assessment algorithm based on key points of the human body detected using computer vision technology. To obtain the key points data of the human body in each frame, OpenPose, an open source computer vision algorithm, was

Ankle Torque During Mid-Stance Does Not Lower Energy Requirements of Steady Gaits [PDF]
, 2021 In this paper, we investigate whether applying ankle torques during mid-stance can be a more effective way to reduce energetic cost of locomotion than actuating leg length alone. Ankles are useful in human gaits for many reasons including static balancing.
