Identification of Risk Factors for Lower Limb Injuries in Athletes

Introduction: Proper physical activity and sport for everyone are one of the main cornerstones for a healthy lifestyle. However, regular sport activity is not without risk, with the correlation between participation in sport activities and the emergence of injuries being well documented. One of the most common injuries is the anterior cruciate ligament rup‐ ture which brings negative consequences for both the a...

Video-based categorization system and frequency analysis of gestures in saxopho...

The study of gestures in music performance provides valuable insights for instrumental learning. However, gestural vocabularies vary depending on the instrument being played, according to its postural and technical specificities. The goals of this study were twofold: first, to create a gesture categorization system for saxophone players, and second, to analyse their gestural behaviour across contrasting musical...

3D Analysis of the Initial and End Positions of an Active and Passive Prone Hip...

Manual therapists routinely evaluate changes in pain, movement, and function through clinical tests that support clinical reasoning. The Prone Hip Extension Test (PHET) is commonly used as a self-perturbation task to assess lumbopelvic control and hip motion patterns related to gait. Performing the PHET actively and passively may reveal how voluntary activation and passive structures influence joint kinematics ...

Human-robot joint misalignment, physical interaction, and gait kinematic assess...

Lower limb exoskeletons and orthoses have been increasingly used to assist the user during gait rehabilitation through torque transmission and motor stability. However, the physical human-robot interface (HRi) has not been properly addressed. Current orthoses lead to spurious forces at the HRi that cause adverse effects and high abandonment rates. This study aims to assess and compare, in a holistic approach, h...

Real-time torque estimation using human and sensor data fusion for exoskeleton ...

Robotic assistive devices have emerged as a potential complement for repeti-tive and user-centered gait rehabilitation. In this field, the development of electromyography (EMG)-based torque controls has played a crucial role in improving the user experience with robotic assistive devices. However, most existing approaches for EMG-based joint torque estimation (i) are designed for upper limbs; (ii) often do not ...

Increased body movement equals better performance? Not always! Musical style de...

Musicians’ body behaviour has a preponderant role in audience perception. We investigated how performers’ motion is perceived depending on the musical style and musical expertise. To further explore the effect of visual input, stimuli were presented in audio-only, audio–visual and visual-only conditions. We used motion and audio recordings of expert saxophone players playing two contrasting excerpts (positively...

GenEye24: Novel Rapid Screening Test for the Top-3 Leber's Hereditary Optic Neu...

Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) has been mainly (90-95%) associated to one of three variants: m.3460G>A, m.11778G>A, m.14484T>C. Herein, a screening method was developed for its detection, supporting clinical/therapeutics decision. It relies on real-time PCR with High-Resolution Melting (HRM) analysis. Variant classification is made using HRM Software and quality controls. Ninety-four samples were an...

Characterising project management of lean initiatives in industrial companies -...

The paper mainly aims to characterise project management (PM) practices of industrial Lean initiatives by analysing and comparing three main topics: PM approaches, PM teams, and project alignment with the company's strategy. This research encompasses two exploratory industrial case studies with an extensive literature review. Key professionals were interviewed to obtain an in-depth vision of the field. The stud...

The impact of visual display of human motion on observers’ perception of music ...

In investigating the influence of body movement in multimodal perception, human motion displays are frequently used as a means of visual standardization and control of external confounders. However, no principle is established regarding the selection of an adequate display for specific study purposes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of adopting 4 visual displays (point-light, stick figure, bod...
