Talk Title: Using Wearable Sensors and Musculoskeletal Simulation to Inform Precision Rehabilitation in Knee OA
Brief Description: This talk with present the latest in our research efforts at the interface of gait biomechanics, wearable sensors, and musculoskeletal simulation. Our overarching goal is to leverage these experimental and computational approaches, together with an evolving understanding of underlying mechanisms and risk factors, toward the development of innovative techniques and technologies to mitigate the onset and slow the progression of knee osteoarthritis.
