Article Abstract

The current assessment of Parkinson's disease (PD) relies on dynamic motor tasks, limiting accessibility. This study aimed to propose an innovative approach to identifying PD and its stages using static standing balance and machine learning. A total of 210 participants were recruited, including a control group and five PD groups categorized by stage. Each participant completed a 10-s static standing balance task in which center of pressure trajectory data in the medial-lateral and anterior-posterior directions were collected. Features were extracted from these trajectory data and the data derived from them using both representation learning and handcrafting methods. A Transformer encoder-based classifier was trained on these features and achieved an F-score of 0.963 in classifying the six study groups. This approach enhances the accessibility of PD assessment, enabling earlier detection and timely intervention. The novel data mining framework introduced in this study heralds a new era of time-series data-driven digital healthcare.

Background: Coronal wedge insoles are commonly prescribed to mitigate musculoskeletal disorders, yet their static-standing kinematic and kinetic effects on lower extremity joints remain insufficiently understood.

Methods: This cross-sectional experimental study included 15 healthy older adults (mean 64.9 ± 6.

The normal functioning of the shoulder is characterized by the harmonious coordination between the glenohumeral joint and the scapulothoracic complex, a phenomenon commonly referred to as scapulohumeral rhythm (SHR). Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) shoulders exhibit distinct kinematics compared to normal shoulders. Reduced scapulohumeral rhythm (SHR) in rTSA shoulders implies a greater reliance on scapulothoracic motion over glenohumeral motion for arm elevation.

Objective: Backward walking may promote the preferential recruitment of lumbar extensors to optimize flexed spinal posture adopted LBP flexion subgroup. This cross-sectional study investigated the backward-walking exercise on a) real-time muscle activation, and b) its immediate effect on back pain intensity, movement control and lumbopelvic muscle activation in individuals with chronic non-specific LBP characterized with lumbar flexion syndrome.

Method: Thirty adults with chronic non-specific LBP with clinical manifestation of flexion syndrome received assessments of their movement control at static standing and during the five-minute forward walking test, conducted before and after a 15-minute treadmill walking training in forward or backward direction (as the immediate effect), while real-time adaptation of the lumbopelvic muscles during walking training was also evaluated.

Objective: Previous studies have demonstrated that the cerebral cortex is involved in the postural responses to static standing and disturbances. However, the role of the cortex in postural stabilization remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify cortical activity during postural stabilization.

Strain rate-dependent non-linear constitutive model of bone: From quasi-static to low-impact loading scenarios.

Osteoporotic fractures at the upper and lower extremity are typically caused by falls from standing height involving relatively high strain rates. Finite element models of bone used for fracture risk prediction often underestimate both stiffness and strength in such low-impact fall scenarios due to the absence of strain rate dependency in constitutive models of bone. In this study, an anisotropic viscoelastoplastic damage model for bone applicable for quasi-static experimental tests, physiological loading and low-impact fall scenarios covering eight orders of magnitude strain rate was developed.
