Purpose: Instability of the knee joint is reported by a majority (>65%) of patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and is hypothesized to play a crucial role in the initiation and progression of KOA. A generally accepted objective metric of knee joint stability is lacking, making development of diagnostics …

The aviation industry is a changing industry in which several factors influence the performance of the airport and the network of airports that are interconnected. Business models, technical operations in airspace and in the airfield, societal conditions among others are some of the ones that must be …

INTRODUCTION: This study investigated the effect of operative claw toe correction with release of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint, repositioning of the plantar fat pad and resection of the proximal interphalangeal joint on foot kinematics, plantar pressure distribution and Foot Function Index (FFI). …

: To have sustainable societies, we need to accelerate the energy transition towards clean energy solutions, however, awareness and understanding of the process is still limited, especially among young people. In addition, the topic has mainly been approached from an engineering angle, ignoring the social …

This paper describes a calibration method for inertial and magnetic sensors using a batched optimization procedure. Well estab- lished sensor, motion and constraint models are applied which include sensor gains, biases, misalignments and inter-triad misalignments. For the magnetometer, hard and soft …

To analyze on-water rowing performance, a valid determination of the power loss due to the generation of propulsion is required. This power los can be calculated as the dot product of the net water force vector ( ~ F w;o ) and the time derivative of the position vector of the point at the blade where …

In leaving the more traditional territories of the concert performance for broader societal contexts, professional musicians increasingly devise music in closer collaboration with their audience rather than present it on a stage. Although the interest for such forms of devising co-creative musicking …

BACKGROUND: Implicit (IF) and explicit (EF) feedback are two motor learning strategies demonstrated to alter movement patterns. There is conflicting evidence on which strategy produces better outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of reduced IF and EF video feedback on lower extremity …

Research was conducted to enable remote control of a humanoid robotic arm using movements of the human arm. Several options for the measurement technique have been discussed, resulting in a proposal for usage of MARG sensor modules to measure human arm movement. The InvenSense MPU9250 sensors where used, …

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common rheumatic disease of the musculoskeletal system, with the knee as the most affected joint. The number of people with OA of the knee is likely to increase due to the ageing society and the obesity epidemic. The predominant clinical symptom of knee OA …
