Overuse-related musculoskeletal injuries mostly affect athletes, especially if involved in preseason conditioning, and military populations; they may also occur, however, when pathological or biological conditions render the musculoskeletal system inadequate to cope with a mechanical load, even if moderate. Within the MOVIDA (Motor function and Vitamin D: toolkit for risk Assessment and prediction) Project, funded by the Italian Ministry of Defence, a systematic review of the literature was conducted to support the development of a transportable toolkit (instrumentation, protocols and reference/risk thresholds) to help characterize the risk of overuse-related musculoskeletal injury. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) approach was used to analyze Review papers indexed in PubMed and published in the period 2010 to 2020. The search focused on stress (overuse) fracture or injuries, and muscle fatigue in the lower limbs in association with functional (biomechanical) or biological biomarkers. A total of 225 Review papers were retrieved: 115 were found eligible for full text analysis and led to another 141 research papers derived from a second-level search. A total of 183 papers were finally chosen for analysis: 74 were classified as introductory to the topics, 109 were analyzed in depth. Qualitative and, wherever possible, quantitative syntheses were carried out with respect to the literature review process and quality, injury epidemiology (type and location of injuries, and investigated populations), risk factors, assessment techniques and assessment protocols.

“…There are three main stages in processing EEG signals: EEG data preprocessing [26], feature extraction and selection [27], and feature classification. In the data preprocessing stage, EEG needs to be filtered to remove the interference of bio-signals such as eye electricity and ECG while retaining important information [28][29][30][31]. The core part of the brain-computer interface system is feature extraction and selection.…”

In the absence of physical movement, the dynamic process of rehearsing specific actions in the mind based on memory is called motor imagination (MI). Motor imaging brain-computer interface (BCI) refers to communicating with a computer or controlling external devices by imagining specific movements in the brain, while the Internet of health things technology helps to convey the rehabilitation of the limbs of patients with paralysis and stroke in time. Studies have shown that with the increase of motor imaging tasks, the classification accuracy rate will also decrease. It is necessary to study the construction and security of sports injury rehabilitation systems under the Internet of health things. Based on the study of the feature extraction algorithm, this paper starts with the infusion monitoring in the clinical medical care work, and through the construction of the Internet of health things smart care management system. It could provide application modules such as "infusion monitoring", "disease call interconnection", and "PDA interconnection" to realize the closed-loop path management of the whole process of basic nursing work in the ward. The sports rehabilitation training system receives the EEG data collected by the UE-16B EEG amplifier through the socket, and calls MATLAB to perform feature extraction and classification of the EEG data, and feedback the processing results to the sports rehabilitation training system and subjects. On this basis, the system has designed and completed a non-feedback training module, a feedback training module and related BCI game modules to promote users to perform sports imagination training and successfully complete sports rehabilitation training.

“…As difficult jumps have become more prevalent throughout the past century of figure skating, the skating boot has also become stiffer to provide landing stability [ 5 ]. However, it is thought that this increased stiffness could contribute to injuries by limiting joint motion, thus reducing the ability of the body to absorb high impact forces [ 5 , 7 , 8 ]. The frequency and magnitude of impact forces during landings have long been associated with overuse injuries in other sports [ 5 , 8 , 9 ].…”

The frequency and magnitude of impact forces during landings have long been associated with overuse injuries in other sports [ 5 , 8 , 9 ]. It is imperative to be able to quantify on-ice forces so that future research can determine whether any relationships exist between figure skating landing mechanics, boot stiffness, and injury incidence.…”

Competitive figure skaters often suffer from overuse injuries, which may be due to the high impact forces endured during jump repetitions performed in practice and competition. However, to date, forces during on-ice figure skating have not been quantified due to technological limitations. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal calibration procedure for a previously developed instrumented figure skating blade (IceSense). Initial calibration was performed by collecting data from the blade while 11 skaters performed off-ice jumps, landing on a force plate in the lab. However, mean peak force measurements from the blade were greater than the desired error threshold of ±10%. Therefore, we designed a series of controlled experiments which included measuring forces from a load cell rigidly attached to the top of the blade concurrently with strain data from the strain gauges on the blade. Forces were applied to the blade by adding weight to a drop tower or by manually applying force in a quasi-static manner. Both methods showed similar accuracy, though using the drop tower allowed precise standardization. Therefore, calibration was performed using the weighted drop method. This calibration was applied to strain gauge data from out-of-sample drop trials, resulting in acceptable estimates of peak force (less than 10% error). Using this calibration, we collected data on one figure skater and present results from an exemplar on-ice double flip jump. Using the IceSense device to quantify on-ice forces in a research setting may help inform training, technique, and equipment design.
