An easy-to-use and inexpensive system for studying human movement is described and applied to the study of arm movement during feeding. A typical time to produce kinematic data for an experiment is one hour, including the experiment. System error was found to be less than three per cent. Besides the kinematic data the system inherently provides for a permanent video copy of the studied movement.

Introduction: In sports, 80% of all ankle injuries are sprains of the external compartment. Functional bandages are usually used preventively, specially in individuals with a history of lateral ankle injuries. To this day, the actual benefits of such taping remain unknown as important modifications are introduced in the ankle biomechanics.

Humans typically choose to walk at a self-selected stride frequency that minimizes their metabolic cost. However, when environmental constraints are present (e.g.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the difference between symptomatic discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) and healthy knees in terms of gait analysis.
Evidence Acquisition: A systematic review was conducted from the electronic databases PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE and Scopus. The review was performed on studies that reported data on kinematics, gait analysis, biomechanics in discoid lateral meniscus, before and after surgery.
Impact of the external knee flexion moment on patello-femoral loading derived from loads and kinematics.

Introduction: Anterior knee pain and other patello-femoral (PF) complications frequently limit the success of total knee arthroplasty as the final treatment of end stage osteoarthritis. However, knowledge about the loading conditions at the PF joint remains limited, as no direct measurements are available. We hypothesised that the external knee flexion moment (EFM) is highly predictive of the PF contact forces during activities with substantial flexion of the loaded knee.

Introduction: Accurate prediction of knee biomechanics during total knee replacement (TKR) surgery is crucial for optimal outcomes. This study investigates the application of machine learning (ML) techniques for real-time prediction of knee joint mechanics.
Methods: A validated finite element (FE) model of the lower limb was used to generate a dataset of knee joint kinematics, kinetics, and contact mechanics.
