Background: Insightful motion analysis provides valuable information for athlete health, a crucial aspect of sports medicine. This systematic review presents an analytical overview of the use of various sensors in motion analysis for sports injury assessment.
Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science was conducted in February 2024 using search terms related to "sport", "athlete", "sensor-based technology", "motion analysis", and "injury." Studies were included based on PCC (Participants, Concept, Context) criteria. Key data, including sensor types, motion data processing methods, injury and sport types, and application areas, were extracted and analyzed.
Results: Forty-two studies met the inclusion criteria. Inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors were the most commonly used for motion data collection. Sensor fusion techniques have gained traction, particularly for rehabilitation assessment. Knee injuries and joint sprains were the most frequently studied injuries, with statistical methods being the predominant approach to data analysis.
Conclusions: This review comprehensively explains sensor-based techniques in sports injury motion analysis. Significant research gaps, including the integration of advanced processing techniques, real-world applicability, and the inclusion of underrepresented domains such as adaptive sports, highlight opportunities for innovation. Bridging these gaps can drive the development of more effective, accessible, and personalized solutions in sports health.

Department of Orthopedics, Hospital of Chengdu Office of People's Government of Tibetan Autonomous Region (Hospital.C.T.), Chengdu, 610041, People's Republic of China.
Background: Anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss presents a challenge in orthopedic surgery. The Latarjet and iliac crest bone graft transfer (ICBGT) procedures are commonly employed for its management, but direct comparative evidence is insufficient.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science was conducted.
The effects of contralateral limb cross-education training on post-surgical rehabilitation outcomes in patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a randomized controlled trial.
J Orthop Surg Res
January 2025
1Department of Special Education and Rehabilitation, Binzhou Medical University, Yantai City, Shandong Province, China.
Objective: This study examines whether cross-education training of the healthy limb promotes cross-transfer through central nervous system stimulation, enhancing the function, kinematic parameters, dynamic balance, and plantar pressure of the affected knee joint in patients recovering from postoperative anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
Methods: Forty anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) patients, 5-6 weeks postoperatively, were included and randomly assigned to either an experimental group (n = 20) or a control group (n = 20). The experimental group participated in six weeks of cross-education (CE) training in addition to conventional rehabilitation, while the control group received only conventional rehabilitation.

With the escalating demand for exploration within confined spaces, bionic design methodologies have attracted considerable attention from researchers, primarily due to the intrinsic limitations of human access to hazardous environments. However, contemporary bionic robots primarily attain linear motion through the axial radial deformation of their body segments, thereby lacking the upright functionality that is characteristic of these organisms. In response to the limitations associated with current bionic earthworm robots concerning upright capability and stiffness modulation, we propose an innovative bionic robot that incorporates upright functionality and programmable stiffness.
