CMTM Faculty Publish New Article in Clinical Biomechanics

CMTM Faculty David T. Nelson and Deepak Kumar, along with their colleagues from the Movement & Applied Imaging Lab in Sargent College, have published a new article in Clinical Biomechanics titled “Quantifying varus thrust in knee osteoarthritis using wearable inertial sensors: A proof of concept.”

Highlights from their article include:

  • Frontal plane gyroscope data were extracted from a single triaxial inertial sensor.
  • Inertial data were associated with optical motion capture varus thrust measures.
  • Mid-thigh inertial sensor data was associated with knee adduction moment.
  • A single mid-thigh inertial sensor may be used to monitor outcomes in large studies.
