Neuromusculoskeletal Biomechanics

该研究计划旨在开发和应用生物力学分析新技术。在实验室中，将开发一种新型的仪表跑步机来模拟现实世界的条件，例如复杂或不平坦的地形，这对老年人和截肢者的平衡提出了挑战，但传统设备无法很好地体现这一点。在现实世界中，可穿戴传感器将用于日常活动的长期数据收集，并开发算法来重建动作，其精度类似于实验室动作捕捉。实验室和现实技术都将加速对行动障碍和新康复技术的研究。

This research program seeks to develop and apply new techniques for biomechanical analysis. In the laboratory, a new type of instrumented treadmill will be developed to emulate real-world conditions such as complex or uneven terrains, which challenge the balance of older adults and amputees, but are not well represented by conventional equipment. In the real world, wearable sensors will be used for long-term data collection of daily activities, and algorithms developed to reconstruct actions with accuracy similar to laboratory motion capture. Both laboratory and real-world techniques will accelerate the study of mobility impairments and new rehabilitation technologies.
