The Children’s Knees trial design was registered in the trial registry database of Clinical Trials under the registration number NCT02545764. The study can be found on clinicaltrials.gov. Twice every year, on the start of a new school year and on the first week of a new year, I revisit the archive and repurpose those materials […]
Dr. Brian Horsak and David Artner MSc participated on the Biomechanics Summer Course 2015 from 21. to 24. July organized by the Institute of Orthopaedic Research and Biomechanics at the University of Ulm. The course consisted of 8 theoretical lectures and 12 practical laboratory exercises. The participants gained experience in all basic fields of biomechanics […]
The 15th International Conference on Computers Helping People with Special Needs (ICCHP) took place on July 11th – 12th, 2015 at the Johannes Kepler University Linz. Our team took the opportunity to present the project Brelomate at the conference, which provides a unique platform for end users,researchers, developers and practitioners. ICCHP has been attended by more than 400 […]
Today (July 8th, 2015) begins the first of three days of the ICAD Conference in Graz, Austria. Our SONIGait team will be presenting to the scientific community the results of our pilot test for the first SONIGait prototype.

The trial protocol for the Children’s Knees study was accepted to be presented for the “Sportwissenschaflicher Hochschultag 2015” at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany. The conference will be held from 30th September 2015 – 2nd October 2015. David Artner will attend the congress and is going to present the trial protocol. The features […]
To allow the measurement of ground reaction forces during stair walking, a special staircase element was constructed. This element can be mounted directly on one of the force plates and together with the staircase of the Rehabilitation Center Weißer Hof builds the final staircase that will be used during the whole biomechanical study. A self- […]
The development of the biomechanical measurement setup is constantly moving forward. A proper staircase construction was acquired from the Rehabilitation Center Weißer Hof in Klosterneuburg and will be used for all upcoming gait analyses at the Biomechanics Laboratory of the USZ Vienna. The first staircase element will be placed directly on one of the force […]
On May 4th 2015 Dr. Brian Horsak presented the Children’s Knees project in front of the management board of the NFB and other scientists who are working on projects funded by the NFB Life Science Call 2013. The aim of this meeting was to share the scientific work with colleagues from different professions and maybe […]
The development of the biomechanical setup to investigate kinetics, kinematics and spatiotemporal parameters of obese children during walking and stair climbing is moving forward. Dr. Brian Horsak, David Artner MSc and Barbara Pobatschnig BSc spent two days on the build up and testing of a first preliminary setup. The working progress resulted in a first […]
Ältere Menschen sind häufiger von sozialer Isolation betroffen als Jüngere. Moderne Kommunikationstechnologie könnte helfen, dem entgegen zu wirken. Doch es scheitert meist an der (viel zu) komplexen Handhabung der Geräte. Im Projekt BRELOMATE (steht als Kürzel für den Projektlangtitel: „Breaking Loneliness with Mobile Interaction and Communication Technology for Elderly“) untersucht die FH St. Pölten, wie […]
