Each completed study below feeds directly into the active and upcoming research programmes — informing protocol design, AI development, and the way we deliver musculoskeletal care today.
Cureus 2026
Empirical Validation Using MAI Motion
A peer-reviewed pilot testing whether three squat repetitions capture the same biomechanics as the conventional five. Across 52 kinematic parameters in 10 adults, no mean differed significantly — and the three-rep protocol was fractionally the more consistent of the two.

Cureus 2026
Dynamic Offloading Measured with MAI Motion
A within-participant biomechanical study of adults with knee osteoarthritis, using the markerless MAI Motion platform to compare no brace, an inactive brace and active offloading during sit-to-stand and squat — showing that objective measurement can distinguish wearing a brace from engaging its offloading.

A PROMs-Based 24-Month Prospective Cohort Study
A prospective cohort tracking patient-reported outcomes across 314 osteoarthritic knees for two years after polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) injection — identifying which patients gain the most durable benefit from this minimally invasive treatment.

A Marker-less Human Motion Analysis System
A peer-reviewed study that turns ordinary RGB video into objective motion-based biomarkers — using 3D mesh recovery and principal component analysis to find which movement features change measurably after a knee injection, validated against pre- and post-treatment data from 20 adults with knee pain.

Empirical Validation Using MAI Motion
A peer-reviewed clinical study demonstrating that a 3-repetition sit-to-stand protocol delivers biomechanical data equivalent to the conventional 5-rep test — with reduced patient burden.

A Low-Cost Human Motion Analysis Method
The foundational study comparing marker-less RGB-D capture against the marker-based Knee Kinesiography system during treadmill gait — showing that strapping hardware to the leg suppresses knee flexion range by 10–15°, and that marker-less capture measures walking closer to how it naturally happens.
