TL;DR: Electronic sensors and systems with advanced technology, namely accelerometer, gyroscope, flexible angular sensor, electromagnetic tracking system and sensing fabrics, have been developed and applied to solve the relevant application problems of the image-based methods, but other problems for using these electronic sensors emerged, including the environment influence and signal extraction difficulties.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of load carriage on adolescent females' gait were investigated using repeated measures ANOVA with factors of backpack load and side (left or right) and the results showed that walking speed and cadence decreased significantly with increasing backpack load, while double support time increased.

TL;DR: A posture monitoring system used in estimating the spinal curvature changes during trunk movements on the sagittal and coronal planes and providing trunk posture monitoring during daily activities demonstrated that the subjects could improve their posture when feedback signals were provided.

TL;DR: The current study showed that the failure rate of the SpineCor was significantly higher than that of the rigid spinal orthosis, and the patients’ acceptance to the SpinesCor was comparable to the conventional rigid spinal Orthosis.

TL;DR: Overall, carrying a backpack causes similar sagittal plane changes in posture and balance in both normal and AIS groups, and load limit recommendations based on normal subjects should not be applicable to subjects with AIS.
