State-of-the-art |
a. Predictive models of motion under different musculoskeletal and environmental |
conditions, ranging from changes due to age and walking over uneven terrains. |
b. Modelling musculoskeletal conditions and injury, such as osteoarthritis. |
c. Evaluating surgical outcomes, such as hamstring lengthening for crouch gait. |
d. Modelling human-assistive device interactions with integrated real-time control. |
Future directions |
a. Consider plausible objectives in cost functions that relate to patient goals, |
including stability, fatigue, and comfort. |
b. Inclusion of neurological details that become impacted with neurological |
conditions, such as sensory feedback and other neural dynamics. |
c. Incorporating learning and neuroplasticity principles, which are important |
when recovering from a neural condition or interacting with an assistive device. |
d. Advancing models to accommodate various neural condition and injury. |
