Self-Expressive Subspace Clustering to Recognize Motion Dynamics of a Multi-Joint Coordination for Chronic Ankle Instability [PDF]
Ankle sprains and instability are major public health concerns. Up to 70% of individuals do not fully recover from a single ankle sprain and eventually develop chronic ankle instability (CAI). The diagnosis of CAI has been mainly based on self-report rather than objective biomechanical measures. The goal of this study is to quantitatively recognize the

Ankle joint traumas rehabilitation methods
Traumas of ankle joint are the most common. Ankle injuries account for 20 to 30% of all traumas of the human locomotor system. During the life process, the ankle is subjected to sufficiently heavy loads, therefore joint injuries often occur.

SportsPose -- A Dynamic 3D sports pose dataset [PDF]
Accurate 3D human pose estimation is essential for sports analytics, coaching, and injury prevention. However, existing datasets for monocular pose estimation do not adequately capture the challenging and dynamic nature of sports movements. In response, we introduce SportsPose, a large-scale 3D human pose dataset consisting of highly dynamic sports ...

Multiple change point detection in functional data with applications to biomechanical fatigue data [PDF]
Injuries to the lower extremity joints are often debilitating, particularly for professional athletes. Understanding the onset of stressful conditions on these joints is therefore important in order to ensure prevention of injuries as well as individualised training for enhanced athletic performance. We study the biomechanical joint angles from the hip,

Tongue-placed tactile biofeedback suppresses the deleterious effects of muscle fatigue on joint position sense at the ankle [PDF]
Whereas the acuity of the position sense at the ankle can be disturbed by muscle fatigue, it recently also has been shown to be improved, under normal ankle neuromuscular state, through the use of an artificial tongue-placed tactile biofeedback.
