Background: Quantitative gait analysis is essential in both clinical and research contexts; however, traditional marker-based motion capture systems are costly and burdensome. Advances in three-dimensional markerless motion capture (3D-MMC) offer mor...
Background: Foam rolling has become an increasingly popular self-myofascial release (SMR) technique among athletes to prevent injuries, improve recovery, and increase athletic performance. This study investigated how SMR improves mechanical and movem...
Background: Shoulder exercises using elastic resistance integrated within the kinetic chain appear to modify scapular control strategies; however, a deeper understanding of these mechanisms is still needed. Objectives: We aim to compare three-dimensi...
Background: Double-support percentage (DS%) is often interpreted as a proxy for dynamic gait stability, yet its biomechanical meaning is confounded by its strong inverse coupling with walking speed. This distinction is critical in Parkinson’s d...
Background/Objectives: Running is one of the most popular physical activities worldwide and have been widely studied in relation to performance and injury prevention. In addition to measurements conducted under standardized laboratory conditions, ine...
Background: Marker-based motion capture systems are commonly used for three-dimensional movement analysis in sports. Novel, markerless motion capture systems enable the collection of comparable data under more time-efficient conditions with higher fl...
Background/Objectives: Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a progressive condition marked by thickening and calcification of the valve leaflets, leading to impaired cardiac function and increased cardiovascular risk. As disease progression is str...
Background: The relationship between varus thrust (VT) during gait and static limb alignment on radiography in knee osteoarthritis (OA) remains unclear. Therefore, the present study investigated the association between the tibial inclination angle (T...
Background/Objectives: While strength training interventions improve walking performance in stroke survivors, the underlying neuromuscular mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigated muscle-level adaptations following a 12-week moder...
Background: Children with spastic hand impairments resulting from cerebral palsy or neuromuscular disorders often exhibit a restricted range of motion and diminished functional use. Rehabilitation devices that assist joint mobilization can enhance th...
