A framework for combining a motion atlas with non-motion information to learn clinically useful biomarkers: Application to cardiac resynchronisation therapy response prediction
Abstract We present a framework for combining a cardiac motion atlas with non-motion data. The atlas represents cardiac cycle motion across a number of subjects in a common space based on rich motion descriptors capturing 3D displacement, velocity,...

Analysis of the pushing phase in Paralympic cross-country sit-skiers – Class LW10
Abstract Paralympic Cross-Country sit-skiers use adaptive equipment, with a resulting gesture similar to double poling techniques adopted by able-bodied skiers. Despite the similarity, a specific attention on the gesture performed by sit-skiers is...
