A wearable device operably worn by a user for monitoring musculoskeletal loading on a back segment of the user includes a plurality of sensors that is synchronized to each other, each sensor operably attached at a predetermined location of the user and configured to detect information about a biomechanical activity of the musculoskeletal systems, wherein the plurality of sensors comprises at least one motion/orientation sensor; and a processing unit in communication with the plurality of sensors and configured to process the detected information by the plurality of sensors to estimate the musculoskeletal loading and/or damage and/or injury risk, and communicate the estimated musculoskeletal loading and/or damage and/or injury risk to the user and/or a party of interest.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores a program that causes a computer to perform an obtaining process, an analyzing process, and an extracting process. In the obtaining process, the computer obtains a radiographic moving image showing a motion of a specific part of an examinee. In the analyzing process, the computer analyzes the radiographic moving image obtained in the obtaining process. In the extracting process, the computer extracts, among frames constituting the radiographic moving image, a specific frame that visibly shows a detection target in the specific part, based on a result of analyzing a dynamic state of the specific part in the analyzing process.

An apparatus (system, device, method, and the like) is disclosed for refining a three-dimensional (3D) model, particularly 3D models of a subject's dentition. An initial 3D model is received or generated along with a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) images corresponding to the 3D model. The 3D model is refined using edge boundaries of a space around or between two or more objects of the 3D model identified from the 2D images.

An augmented neuromuscular training system and method for providing feedback to a user in order to reduce movement deficits associated with injury risk, prior injury or disease pathology.

Currently, assessing the severity and progression of symptoms in a subject diagnosed with a muscular disability, in particular SMA involves in-clinic monitoring and testing of the subject every 6 to 12 months. However, monitoring and testing a subject more frequently is preferred, but increasing the frequency of in-clinic monitoring and testing can be costly and inconvenient to the subject. Thus, assessing the severity and progression of symptoms via remote monitoring and testing of the subject outside of a clinic environment as described herein provides advantages in cost, ease of monitoring and convenience to the subject. Systems, methods and devices according to the present disclosure provide a diagnostic for assessing of the lung volume of a subject having a muscular disability, in particular SMA by active testing of the subject.

Aspects described herein relate to the field of disease tracking and diagnostics. Specifically, they relate to a method of assessing a muscular disability and, in particular, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in a subject comprising the steps of determining at least one parameter from a dataset of sensor measurements of the subject using a mobile device, and comparing the determined at least one parameter to a reference, whereby the muscular disability and, in particular, SMA will be assessed. Aspects described herein also relate to a mobile device comprising a processor, at least one pressure sensor and a database as well as software which is tangibly embedded to said device and, when running on said device, carries out the method of the invention as well as the use of such a device for assessing a muscular disability and, in particular, SMA.

A system for simulating surgical methods includes a method for thorax simulation modelling. The thorax simulation modeling is generally useful in facilitating the development and optimization of person specific surgical methods and materials.
