HMVC brings together scientists and clinicians focused on understanding variability in human movement and its implications for health, rehabilitation, and performance.
It was a great opportunity to present our work on &lt;strong&gt;wearable haptic feedback systems for gait training&lt;/strong&gt; and to engage in discussions with leading experts about their latest advances in the field.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alongside the conference, we had the chance to tour the state-of-the-art facilities at the &lt;strong&gt;University of Nebraska at Omaha, Department of Biomechanics&lt;/strong&gt;, which are among the best in the US. The lab features advanced equipment including a six-degree-of-freedom treadmill with an immersive virtual reality environment for movement analysis research.&lt;/p&gt;

in &lt;strong&gt;Pittsburgh, PA&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had the opportunity to present our work on a &lt;strong&gt;real-time and lightweight human activity recognition system&lt;/strong&gt; using biomechanical features. It was an amazing experience to exchange ideas with experts in the biomechanics community and receive valuable feedback on our research.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The ASB Annual Meeting is one of the premier conferences in the field, bringing together researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals to share the latest advances in biomechanics. This year&amp;rsquo;s meeting featured a wide range of topics from wearable sensing to clinical gait analysis.&lt;/p&gt;
