Baseline Gross Motor Function Affects the Outcome of Robot-Assisted Therapy in Ambulatory Individuals with Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Brain Sciences, 2021
Robotic-assisted therapy (RAT) is a task-specific approach for treating gait disorders in individuals with neurological impairments. However, the effectiveness of RAT is not clear for different severities of involvement, pathologies, and ages. This study

Feasibility of designing, manufacturing and delivering 3D printed ankle-foot orthoses: a systematic review

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2019
Background Ankle-foot orthoses (AFO) are prescribed to manage difficulty walking due to foot drop, bony foot deformities and poor balance. Traditional AFOs are handmade using thermoplastic vacuum forming which provides limited design options, is labour ...

Plasticity of muscle synergies through fractionation and merging during development and training of human runners

Nature Communications, 2020
Motor commands for human locomotion are generated by combination of muscle synergies. In humans, muscle synergies for running exhibit considerable plasticity during child-to-adult development and adult training to meet the constantly changing ...

The swing performance Index: Developing a single-score index of golf swing rotational biomechanics quantified with 3D kinematics

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2022
IntroductionGolf swing generates power through coordinated rotations of the pelvis and upper torso, which are highly consistent among professionals. Currently, golf performance is graded on handicap, length-of-shot, and clubhead-speed-at-impact.
