  • Connor J. Schamblin,
  • Victor T. Hung,
  • Hunter R. Hitchens,
  • Michelle H. McGarry,
  • Gregory J. Adamson and
  • Thay Q. Lee

Background: The radiocapitellar articulation of the elbow joint is particularly susceptible to subluxation and dislocation. Joint stability can be quantified using the stability ratio, a biomechanical parameter of joint stability defined as the ratio...

Measurement of Compression Forces During Spinal Fusion Surgery Utilizing the Proprioceptive Effect of Hand Muscle Memory

  • Robin Heilmann,
  • Stefan Schleifenbaum,
  • Peter Melcher,
  • Christoph-Eckhard Heyde and
  • Nicolas Heinz von der Höh

Background: In spinal fusion surgery, intersomatic compression force is currently applied subjectively by the operating surgeon, despite its critical role on implant stability and risk of subsidence. No standardized measurement or guideline exists to...

Establishing Reference Metrics for Respiratory Exercises Through Wearable Sensors: A Comparative Study

  • Federico Caramia,
  • Emanuele D’Angelantonio,
  • Leandro Lucangeli and
  • Valentina Camomilla

Background: Respiratory exercises play a key role in rehabilitation programs, especially for older adults and individuals with chronic pulmonary conditions. Despite growing interest in wearable sensors for home-based care, structured reference metric...

Smartphone-Based Gait Analysis with OpenCap: A Narrative Review

  • Serena Cerfoglio,
  • Jorge Lopes Storniolo,
  • Edilson Fernando de Borba,
  • Paolo Cavallari,
  • Manuela Galli,
  • Paolo Capodaglio and
  • Veronica Cimolin

Background: Gait analysis plays a key role in detecting and monitoring neurological, musculoskeletal, and orthopedic impairments. While marker-based motion capture (MoCap) systems are the gold standard, their cost and complexity limit routine use. Re...
