Magnetization-prepared 2 Rapid Gradient-Echo MRI for B-1 Insensitive 3D T1 Mapping of Hip Cartilage: An Experimental and Clinical Validation

Background: Often used for T1 mapping of hip cartilage, three-dimensional (3D) dual-flip-angle (DFA) techniques are highly sensitive to flip angle variations related to B-1 inhomogeneities. The authors hypothesized that 3D magnetization-prepared 2 rapid gr ...

Foucault pendulum properties of spherical oscillators

Simon Nessim Henein, Ilan Vardi, Patrick Robert Flückiger

The Foucault pendulum provides a demonstration of the turning of the Earth. The principle at work is that linear oscillations of a two-degree-of-freedom isotropic harmonic oscillator remain unchanged in an inertial frame of reference, so appear to precess ...

Foucault pendulum properties of spherical oscillators

Simon Nessim Henein, Ilan Vardi, Patrick Robert Flückiger

In 1851 Léon Foucault created a sensation with his pendulum providing a direct demonstration of the turning of the Earth. This simple device consists of a pendulum which is launched in a purely planar orbit. Following Mach's principle of inertia, the mass ...

Drift-Free Foot Orientation Estimation in Running Using Wearable IMU

Kamiar Aminian, Frédéric Meyer, Benoît Mariani, Grégoire Millet, Mathieu Pascal Falbriard

This study aimed to introduce and validate a new method to estimate and correct the orientation drift measured from foot-worn inertial sensors. A modified strap-down integration (MSDI) was proposed to decrease the orientation drift, which, in turn, was fur ...

Gait in real world: validated algorithms for gait periods and speed estimation using a single wearable sensor

Abolfazl Soltani

Mobility concerns most daily tasks (e.g., householding, shopping), affecting life quality. Gait speed, recognized as the sixth vital sign, is a key to characterize mobility. It is also a primary outcome of many clinical interventions. Monitoring gait in un ...

Changes in spatio-temporal gait parameters and vertical speed during an extreme mountain ultra-marathon

Kamiar Aminian, Frédéric Meyer, Grégoire Millet, Mathieu Pascal Falbriard

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of altitude and distance on uphill vertical speed (VS) and the main spatio-temporal gait parameters during an extreme mountain ultra-marathon. The VS, stride height (SH) and stride frequency (SF) ...

Control Strategies for Lower-limb Exoskeletons: from Full Mobilization to Assistance of Balance

Romain Pierre François Baud

Bipedal locomotion is a remarkable feature of humans. This skill is necessary for the activities of daily living. Unfortunately, many people only partially benefit from it or miss it entirely because of a disability. This may result in a slower gait, less ...

Postural transitions detection and characterization in healthy and patient populations using a single waist sensor

Kamiar Aminian, Benoît Mariani, Farzin Dadashi, Arash Atrsaei

Background: Sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transitions are frequent daily functional tasks indicative of muscle power and balance performance. Monitoring these postural transitions with inertial sensors provides an objective tool to assess mobility in both ...

A Review on Finite Element Modeling and Simulation of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Dimitar Yuriev Stanev

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) constitutes one of the most important stabilizing tissues of the knee joint whose rapture is very prevalent. ACL reconstruction (ACLR) from a graft is a surgery which yields the best outcome. Taking into account the com ...

Gait features for discriminating between mobility-limiting musculoskeletal disorders: Lumbar spinal stenosis and knee osteoarthritis

Amir Muaremi, Wei Zhang

Background: Functional ambulation limitations are features of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and knee osteoarthritis (OA). With numerous validated walking assessment protocols and a vast number of spatiotemporal gait parameters available from sensor-based as ...

A Sensor Fusion Approach to the Estimation of Instantaneous Velocity Using Single Wearable Sensor During Sprint

Kamiar Aminian, Frédéric Meyer, Farzin Dadashi, Salil Apte, Vincent Gremeaux

Power-Force-Velocity profile obtained during a sprint test is crucial for designing personalized training and evaluating injury risks. Estimation of instantaneous velocity is requisite for developing these profiles and the predominant method for this estim ...
