Background
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorder. Aquatic exercises are commonly used by physical therapists for CLBP treatment and management; however, there are no data on trunk muscle activation during aquati...

While optical motion analysis systems can provide high-fidelity gait parameters, they are usually impractical for local clinics and home use, due to high cost, requirement for large space, and lack of portability. In this study, the authors focus on... Read More about Automation enhancement and accuracy investigation of a portable single-camera gait analysis system.

Trunk muscle activity during dynamic exercises on land and in water for participants with and without chronic low back pain (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
