An exploratory study of dynamic foot shape measurements with 4D scanning system
This study uses a 4D foot scanning system to analyze foot deformation in diabetic patients, focusing on dynamic shape changes during walking. By employing point cloud registration and measurement extraction algorithms, it aims to enhance insole and footwear comfort through improved understanding of foot dynamics. Read more
The inter-connection of sports bra design attributes and elderly women’s perceptions
This study explores sports bra design for elderly women, focusing on comfort through support, cup design, and thermal management. Network analysis reveals discomfort links to tightness and straps, guiding improvements for age-friendly sportswear. Read more
Design and characterize of kirigami-inspired springs and the application in vertebrae exoskeleton for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis brace treatment
Kirigami-inspired springs, optimized via additive manufacturing and FEM, enhance scoliosis treatment with carbon-fiber-reinforced nylon. They offer comfort and effective spinal correction, showing 4.6% to 50.5% improvement in Cobb angle without obstructing X-ray views. Read more
Fluid‐Driven High‐Performance Bionic Artificial Muscle with Adjustable Muscle Architecture
Fluid-Driven ExoMuscle mimics sarcomere structures with adjustable architecture, achieving up to 0.9 MPa actuation stress and 10.94 kW/kg power density. This bionic muscle enhances bio-robotics and wearable robots, combining efficiency with adaptability to human anatomy. Read more
Immediate Effects of Posture Correction Girdle on Adolescents with Early Scoliosis.
This study explores a posture correction girdle for adolescents with early scoliosis, using radiographic imaging and 3D body scanning. Findings reveal positive effects, including reduced spinal curves and improved postural balance, suggesting alternative treatment options beyond observation. Read more
Biofeedback posture training for adolescents with mild scoliosis
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is characterized by uneven shoulders, spinal curvature, and uneven hips, and asymmetry in paraspinal muscle activities is common in AIS. This pilot study was aimed at examining the use of a surface electromyography (sEMG) biofeedback posture training program in adolescents with mild scoliosis (Cobb’s angle Read more
Textile-based fiber optic sensors for health monitoring: A systematic and citation network analysis review
This article reviews textile-based fiber optic sensors for health monitoring, emphasizing their flexibility and lightweight nature. It analyzes research trends using citation network analysis, highlighting applications in vital signs and respiratory monitoring for enhanced health assessment. Read more
Investigating the Factors Affecting the Thermal and Tactile Comfort of Summer Undergarments
This study examines the thermal and tactile comfort of summer underwear in Hong Kong. Using physical experiments and wear trials, the research highlights that lighter, thinner fabrics with low stitch density enhance breathability and moisture wicking, improving overall wearer comfort. Read more
Electromyographic Analysis of Paraspinal Muscles of Scoliosis Patients Using Machine Learning Approaches
A large number of studies have used electromyography (EMG) to measure the paraspinal muscle activity of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. However, investigations on the features of these muscles are very limited even though the information is useful for evaluating the effectiveness of various types of interventions, such as scoliosis-specific exercises.
