๐ In a new article published in J Biomech, Wijekoon et al. investigated the validity and reliability of COM estimates from Theia3D markerless motion capture across three quiet standing tasks in a healthy adult population. ๐ buff.ly/gN980wi

๐ In a new article published in J Biomech, Ferencz et al. is the first study to systematically evaluate the frequency response and simulation accuracy of multiple lung simulation devices. ๐ buff.ly/Rusr1W3
๐ In a new article published in J Biomech, Chafetz et al. indicate that markerless motion capture is suitable for analyses emphasizing sagittal deviations but remains limited for applications requiring axial or frontal-plane estimation in children with complex gait patterns. ๐ buff.ly/o7n4hYm

๐ In a new article published in J Biomech, Nutarelli et al. provide novel data on the between-session reliability of the flywheel hip extension and flywheel leg curl tests and their associations with isokinetic hamstring strength. ๐ buff.ly/gdnDlvO
๐ In a new article published in J Biomech, Yanagida et al. suggest that changes in RF length induced by hip-joint manipulation produce site-dependent mechanical responses in the VL, potentially implying the existence of epimuscular myofascial force transmission in men. ๐ buff.ly/7zvPVeO
๐ In a new narrative review published in J Biomech, Kingma et al. clarify to what extent effects of an exoskeleton on low back load can be misinterpreted when relying on EMG without correction for muscle length, contraction velocity, and abdominal muscle activation. ๐ buff.ly/1qMWDXK
๐ In a new article published in J Biomech, Yamamoto et al. demonstrate a qualitative spatialโtemporal association between flow-induced high-frequency wall vibrations and growth of the VBDA, supporting the hypothesis that wall vibrations may act as a mechanobiological stimulus. ๐ buff.ly/eyidQzh
๐ In a new article published in J Biomech, Ganguly et al. elucidate that substrate stiffness and topography jointly mediate cellular mechanical responses at the cell-scaffold interface, and these effects can be quantified using an integrated experimental and FE framework. ๐ buff.ly/FB76PlZ

๐ In a new article published in J Biomech, Amoakon et al. underscore that anatomical correction, while essential, is unlikely to fully resolve the biomechanical complexity of developmental dysplasia of the hip. ๐ buff.ly/Hn6wi1T
๐ In a new article published in J Biomech, Xu et al. suggest that the Achilles tendonโs complex multiscale architecture is key to its unique mechanical function, yet most current repair strategies and scaffolds fail to recapitulate these features, leading to poor clinical outcomes. ๐ buff.ly/U8AX4u5
๐ In a new article published in J Biomech, Karbalaie et al. suggest that machine learning models can classify fear of re-injury after ACLR with very high accuracy, using EMG-derived features alone and additional improvements in a multimodal approach integrating biomechanical data. ๐ buff.ly/UvdH2Tz
๐ In a new article published in J Biomech, Bruna-Lรกzaro et al. suggest that added weight induced changes across impact-related acceleration variables in both time and frequency domains, whereas cadence and the interaction between both factors showed more limited overall effects. ๐ buff.ly/AoD9au4
๐ In a new article published in J Biomech, Chen et al. suggest that rehabilitation aimed at restoring walking in stroke patients should focus on improving coordination of the unaffected hipโknee joints and the affected limb to reduce fall risk across different walking conditions. ๐ buff.ly/NT7WwRY
We are excited to report our new IF of 2.90 and to acknowledge the efforts of the authors, reviewers, and editors who have maintained the high quality of the work we publish in J Biomech.

๐ In a new article published in J Biomech, Mercier et al. indicate that the presence of markers in training images can affect human pose estimation algorithms. The presence of markers creates a significant training bias, particularly for markers located near joint centers. ๐ buff.ly/Kuem5oS
