Great news! Once again, a paper was accepted for publication in the Journal of Gait & Posture. The title of our lovely paper is: “Reliability of joint kinematic calculations based on direct kinematic and inverse kinematic models in obese children”. This article reports the reliability of kinematic data derived from inverse-kinematic modelling performed in OpenSim. This […]
Fantastic news! A project submitted to the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) within the 7th COIN Call was approved. The lovely name of our project is “Laboratory for Capturing Motion and Augmenting Environment in Motor Rehabilitation – the ReMoCap-Lab“. It will start this autumn. Main goal of that project is to set up a state-of-the-art […]
This week Brian Horsak visited Prof. Ilse Jonkers and her “Human Movement Biomechanics Research Group” at the KU Leuven in Belgium. This trip was financed by the Erasmus+ Staff training program. During his stay in Leuven, Brian visited a total of three Biomechanics Labs of the KU Leuven and had some very interesting discussions with […]
A follow-up project to our Children’s Knees project, which we have submitted to the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) in 2017, was accepted. This is awesome news! The project is entitled: “Validity of several non-invasive hip joint center estimation methods for clinical gait analysis in a population of overweight and obese children and adolescents” The primary […]
Great news! Another paper dealing with the reliability of our 3D kinematic measurement methods and the effect of different hip joint center estimation methods was accepted for publication in the Journal of Gait & Posture. The title of our lovely paper is: Is the reliability of 3D kinematics of young obese participants dependent on the […]
We have a new temporary team member! Florian Kastner is participating as a trainee in the Children`s Knees Project during July. Before starting the last year of his studies at secondary school, he is greatly supporting the Children´s Knees team in terms of processing motion capture data. Stay tuned for more news about our […]
From the 29th to the 31st of March the 10th Annual Meeting of the German Society for Biomechanics (DGfB) was held at the Medical University of Hannover (Germany). Caterine Schwab presented a poster dealing with our reliability analysis and the dependency of reliability by different hip joint center estimation techniques (for details see our publication […]
On the 15th of March the project partners of the Children’s Knees Study once again met to discuss important steps in the project and to talk shop about complicated biomechanical analysis stuff (what researchers do usually). The meeting took place at the Institute of Sport Science of Vienna. As our project comes into the final stage the […]
Great news volks! A paper dealing with the reliability of our 3D kinematic measurement methods was accepted for publication in the Journal of Gait & Posture. The title of our lovely paper is: Within-assessor reliability and minimal detectable change of gait kinematics in a young obese demographic. A link to the full text will be provided […]
He is the head of the Gait Analysis Laboratory of the Orthopedic Hospital Vienna-Speising. As an active researcher he has a vast experience in the field of clinical movement science. His main working field is gait analysis with patients with orthopedic or neuro-orthopedic related disorders. Currently he is involved in several research projects financed by different national […]
