Interventions
Medical Device, Behavioral : ? Movement Task Experiment
- Attach a wearable band, VICON markers, and EMG to each participant.
- For the wearable band, attach sensors to the proximal and distal segment
attach EMG electrodes to the muscles responsible for that joint’s movement. (For the knee: wearable bands on the thigh and shank
EMG on the Rectus femoris, Biceps femoris, Tibialis anterior, and Gastrocnemius.)
- Provide 5 minutes of practice for the exercise selected according to the target joint.
- Perform 10 repetitions of t
patients with pain perform only the exercises for the affected joint. For the knee, the exercise is the single-leg squat.)
? Long-Term Exercise and Ultrasound Stimulation Experiment
- Pre- and post-ex
EMG on the Rectus femoris, Biceps femoris, Tibialis anterior, and Gastrocnemius.)
? Perform 10 repetitions of the exercise selected for each joint and collect motion and muscle-activation data. (Healt
patients with pain perform only the exercises for the affected joint. For the knee, the exercise is the single-leg squat.)
? After the pre-test, randomly assign participants to the feedback exercise g
