Variation in frontal plane joint angles in horses [PDF]

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, 2010
Summary Reasons for performing study: Conformation in horses is often considered an indicator of athletic ability, performance and resistance to orthopaedic disease. Evaluation is performed in the standing horse and repeatability influenced by stance.

Methodology on Co-Registration of MRI and Optoelectronic Motion Capture Marker Sets: In-Vivo Wrist Case Study

open access: yesHittite Journal of Science and Engineering, 2019
S kin-surface mounted markers provide incomplete spatial information of the underlying-bone. A new methodology is developed combining optoelectronic motion capture MOCAP and imaging modalities to co-register the positions of underlying-bone and ...

Effects of 12-week pilates reformer training on the biomechanics of Latin dance Cha-Cha circle chasing technique

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology
BackgroundPilates Reformer training is a scientifically validated method for enhancing body control. However, research on its application to improve the technical quality of Latin dance movements, particularly the Cha-Cha circular chase step, is limited.

Body-Worn IMU Human Skeletal Pose Estimation Using a Factor Graph-Based Optimization Framework

open access: yesSensors, 2020
Traditionally, inertial measurement units- (IMU) based human joint angle estimation requires a priori knowledge about sensor alignment or specific calibration motions. Furthermore, magnetometer measurements can become unreliable indoors.

A machine learning approach for saddle height classification in cycling

open access: yesFrontiers in Sports and Active Living
BackgroundSaddle height is an important factor in bike fitting because it correlates with cycling efficiency and the risk of injuries. Conventional approaches use anthropometric parameters and joint angles as references to calculate the optimal saddle ...

Fusimotor Control of Spindle Sensitivity Regulates Central and Peripheral Coding of Joint Angles

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2012
Proprioceptive afferents from muscle spindles encode information about peripheral joint movements for the central nervous system (CNS). The sensitivity of muscle spindle is nonlinearly dependent on the activation of gamma (γ) motoneurons in the spinal ...

Early‐life high‐fat diet exposure increases Achilles tendon stiffness and induces transcriptomic alterations

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Early‐life exposure to a high‐fat diet altered intact Achilles tendons in rat offspring, making them thinner, stiffer, and molecularly distinct even without injury. These findings suggest that developmental high‐fat diet exposure may impair tendon quality and increase susceptibility to mechanical overload or tendon injury later in life.

Baseline Regional Cholinergic Denervation Predicts Cognitive Trajectories in Moderate Parkinson Disease

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cognitive decline is a disabling and variable feature of Parkinson disease (PD). While cholinergic system degeneration is linked to cognitive impairments in PD, most prior research reported cross‐sectional associations. We aimed to fill this gap by investigating whether baseline regional cerebral vesicular acetylcholine transporter ...

A Framework for Analytical Validation of Inertial-Sensor-Based Knee Kinematics Using a Six-Degrees-of-Freedom Joint Simulator

open access: yesSensors, 2022
The success of kinematic analysis that relies on inertial measurement units (IMUs) heavily depends on the performance of the underlying algorithms. Quantifying the level of uncertainty associated with the models and approximations implemented within ...

Elevated Connectivity During Language Processing Is Associated With Cognitive Performance in SeLECTS

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Self‐Limited Epilepsy with Centrotemporal Spikes (SeLECTS) is associated with language impairments despite seizures originating in the motor cortex, suggesting aberrant cross‐network interactions. Here we tested whether functional connectivity in SeLECTS during language tasks predicts language performance.
