A Human Motor Control Framework based on Muscle Synergies
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-23)In spite of the complexities of the human musculoskeletal system, the central nervous system has the ability to orchestrate difficult motor tasks. Many researchers have tried to understand how the human nervous system ... -
On the Bluish Appearance of Veins
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-18)The bluish appearance of veins located immediately beneath the skin has long been a topic of interest for biomedical optics researchers. Despite this interest, a thorough identification of the specific optical processes ... -
Optimizing Total Hip Arthroplasty using Predictive Dynamic Simulation of Human Sit-to-Stand Movement and Deep Learning for Flexible Spinopelvic Model Identification
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-29)Recent studies have highlighted the significance of spine stiffness and spinopelvic measures in the analysis of lower limb dynamics during human motion. These factors are essential for optimizing surgical planning, especially ... -
Predictive Dynamic Simulation of Cycling Using Olympic Cyclist and Bicycle Models
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-04)Predictive dynamic simulation is a useful tool for analyzing human movement and optimizing performance. Such simulations do not require experimental data collection and provide the opportunity to analyze a variety of ... -
Predictive Dynamic Simulation of Human Movement Following Hip and Knee Replacement
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-01)Total joint arthroplasty is a surgical intervention that involves the removal of arthritic or damaged components of a joint and their replacement with an artificial joint. The ultimate goal is to restore the joint’s ... -
Recovering Optimal Cost Functions for Natural Walking: From Musculoskeletal Simulation to Exoskeleton Control
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-03)Human movement studies have contributed to our understanding of how the central nervous system's (CNS) interactions with our body results in rich and complex motor behaviours, such as human gait. Such understanding is ...
