Lower body kinematics estimation during walking using an accelerometer.

Measuring and predicting accurate joint angles are important to developing analytical tools to gauge users' progress. Such measurement is usually performed in laboratory settings, which is difficult and expensive. So, the aim of this study was continuous estimation of lower limb joint angles during walking using an accelerometer and random forest (RF).

Inter-limb asymmetry of kinetic and electromyographic during walking in patients with chronic ankle instability.

After an initial ankle sprain, a relevant number of participants develop chronic ankle instability (CAI). Compensatory strategies in patients with CAI may change the inter-limb symmetry needed for absorbing movement-related forces. Accordingly, an increased risk of injury can occur.

Vertical ground reaction force and knee muscle activation asymmetries in patients with ACL reconstruction compared to healthy individuals.

Purpose: Gait analysis is an important index in the clinical treatment of people with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Following unilateral ACL reconstruction (ACLR), the knee kinetic asymmetries are likely to affect the gait cycle. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the symmetries of vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) and select the knee muscle activity in gait cycles in participants with and without unilateral ACLR.

Comparison the time to stabilization and activity of the lower extremity muscles during jump-landing in subjects with and without Genu Varum.

Background: Knee muscles activity changes from Genu Varum deformity(GVD), may cause this individual more exposed to lower extremity injuries especially in high-risk activities like landing.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the activity of the lower limb stabilizer muscles during jump-landing and time to stabilization(TTS) in subjects with and without GVD.

Method: A total of 44 men (group 1, with GVD n = 22 and group 2, without GVD n = 22); with mean age = 17.
