For product developers that design near-body products, virtual mannequins that represent realistic body shapes, are valuable tools. With statistical shape modelling, the variability of such body shapes can be described. Shape variation captured by statistical shape models (SSM ...
Shoe design for older adults
Evidence from a systematic review on the elements of optimal footwear
In this paper, we visualize and quantify the differences between two three-dimensional (3D) surfaces. A human participant was scanned in standing and cycling poses using a 3D scanner. We rigged the standing scan and re-posed them to a cycling pose. The two scans were then insp ...
This project aims to understand Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD), specifically, identify location-related factors influencing BPSD at the individual level in the nursing home setting by means of a mixed methods approach facilitated by Indoor Positioning ...
Three-dimensional quantitative analysis of healthy foot shape
A proof of concept study
Background: Foot morphology has received increasing attention from both biomechanics researches and footwear manufacturers. Usually, the morphology of the foot is quantified by 2D footprints. However, footprint quantification ignores the foot's vertical dimension and hence, do ...

SpatioTemporal Analysis of Plantar Pressure Measurements using Statistical Parametric Mapping
Background
Pedobarography produces large sets of plantar pressure samples that are routinely subsampled (e.g. using regions of interest) or aggregated (e.g. center of pressure trajectories, peak pressure images) in order to simplify statistical analysis and provide ...
products should be both functional and comfortable. They require a close and accurate fit to the
body of the end-user. Current approaches to design body near products rely on 1D anthr ...
