Wearable and mobile devices, such as smartphones, smartwatches, wearable medical
devices, etc., have become an important part of our daily life. Most of these devices are …

The development of a pronounced iliotibial band (ITB) is an anatomically distinct evolution of
humans. The mechanical behaviour of this “new” structure is still poorly understood and …

Implantable sensors with the abilities of real-time healthcare monitoring and auxiliary
training are important for exercise-induced or disease-induced muscle and ligament injuries …

This study aimed to address the effects of increased longitudinal bending stiffness (LBS) on
running economy (RE) and running biomechanics. A systematic search on four electronic …

Background Despite calf muscle strain injuries (CMSI) being problematic in many sports,
there is a dearth of research to guide clinicians dealing with these injuries. The aim of this …

We aimed to (1) compare pain, tendon structure, lower limb function, and Achilles tendon
loads while running between limbs in runners with Achilles tendinopathy, and (2) explore …

Neuromuscular characteristics, such as lower-limb joint strength, the ability to reuse elastic
energy, and to generate force are essential factors influencing running performance …

This paper develops a novel approach to characterise muscle force from electromyography
(EMG) signals, which are the electric activities generated by muscles. Based on the …

Background: Lower extremity stiffness simulates the response of the lower extremity to
landing in running. However, its relationship with running economy (RE) remains unclear …

Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether triceps surae's muscle architecture and
Achilles tendon parameters are related to running metabolic cost (C) in trained long …
