The current tendency to shorten hospital stays requires patients to do rehabilitation exercises independently at home after knee and hip replacement surgeries. To help address the lack of supervision, we are developing a digital system that uses Human Pose Estimation (HPE) to analyse patient motion and provide feedback. In this work, we focus on two system aspects: (1) A tablet-based mobile application with an elderly-friendly interface and (2) a quantitative comparison of a widely used real-time HPE algorithm (MoveNet) with one of the top performers on the COCO benchmark (ViTPose). We provide experimental results for two-dimensional (2D) HPE on public …

This study developed a method to characterise materials used in football manufacture for finite element analysis. Quasi-static (0.1/s) and dynamic (10/s and 100/s) uniaxial testing on a FIFA Quality Programme approved football generated hyperelastic material coefficients. Dynamic mechanical analysis was utilised to create Prony series coefficients to inform the viscoelastic behaviour. The model was validated by comparing finite element simulations with experimental data, focusing on dynamic properties including coefficient of restitution, maximum deformation, and contact time. Results indicated a strong correlation, with RMSE between 0.0051 and 10.4310, particularly at 0.8 bar pressure, demonstrating the model’s efficacy for high-strain impacts. This …

This study investigates how IMU sensor data types, feature extraction, window sizes, and supervised machine learning models affect swimming activity recognition accuracy. Using a single IMU on lower back, the system classified strokes, turns, and starts under realistic conditions. Three classifiers of Support Vector Machine (SVM), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), and Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA) were evaluated. Five types of statistical feature sets were extracted from window sizes ranging from 1 to 6 seconds with 0.01 second sliding step. The best classifier is SVM, achieving overall accuracy of 0.97 with high accuracy for surface swimming stroke. However, shorter windows had …


The Effect Of The Eyes-Closed Condition On Muscle Activation, Ground Reaction Force, And 3d Kinematics In Countermovement Jumps, Nada Juma Aldous, Paul Grimshaw Nov 2025

The Effect Of The Eyes-Closed Condition On Muscle Activation, Ground Reaction Force, And 3d Kinematics In Countermovement Jumps, Nada Juma Aldous, Paul Grimshaw

ISBS Proceedings Archive

This study investigates the effects of the eyes-closed condition on lower limb muscle activation, ground reaction force, and three-dimensional kinematics during repeated countermovement jumps in healthy young male adults. Data were collected in a controlled laboratory setting using a force platform, 3D motion capture, and wireless electromyography. The results offer insight into the interplay between sensory re-weighting and motor control under altered visual conditions. While key performance parameters remain largely consistent between eyes-open and eyes-closed trials, subtle differences in joint kinematics suggest compensatory adaptations may occur. These findings contribute to a better understanding of sensory integration in dynamic motor tasks …

Fencing requires proper protective attire that ensures safety and allows for unrestricted movement by balancing flexibility, durability, and puncture resistance. This study investigates the potential of electrospun nanofiber composites, composed of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and enhanced with reduced graphene oxide (rGO), as a sustainable alternative to traditional fencing suit materials. Characterization techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and dielectric spectroscopy confirmed the uniform incorporation of rGO within the porous nanofiber structure, which enhances the distribution of mechanical loads and energy absorption. The dielectric characteristics of the composite suggest its suitability for applications in adaptive stiffness …

The Aesthetic Dimensions Of Syntactic Deviation In The Rhymed Poem Of Al-ʿAbbās Ibn Al-Aḥnaf – “The Beloved Was Angry, And Thus My Tears Were Stirred…”, Tami Daghleeb Al-Shamrani

UB Journal for Humanities

This study explores syntactic deviation (inziyāḥ tarkībī) in the poetry of al-ʿAbbās ibn al-Aḥnaf (d. 194 AH), focusing on his rāʾiyya poem that opens with: “The beloved grew angry, and my weeping stirred— By God, I am haunted by what I fear.”Syntactic deviation—defined as the intentional violation of strict grammatical norms—is examined as a linguistic and rhetorical phenomenon that departs from conventional structures. This particular poem was chosen for its rich deployment of stylistic devices and for showcasing the poet’s expressive power and sincere emotional tone.The study concentrates on two primary forms of deviation: inversion (taqdīm wa-taʾkhīr) and grammatical shift …
