Funding: NSF EAGER (#1354321)
Collaborators: Dr. Jay Han, UC Davis Medical Center
Researchers: Robert Matthew
Goals:
Development of musculoskeletal models based on multimodal sensor measurements
Individualized musculoskeletal models to improve over generalized population-based models.
These models can be analyzed to detect muscle weakness and joint injuries.
Methods:
Models of an individual can be created using, non-invasive sensors such as motion capture, Inertial Measurement Devices and Electromyography.
Applications:
Medical diagnostics of injuries, more effective physical therapy, assistive robotics (e.g. exoskeletons), human-machine interaction.
