Abstract [en]

Running biomechanics studies the mechanical forces experienced during running to improve performance and prevent injuries. This study presents the development of a digital twin for predicting bone stress in runners. The digital twin leverages a domain adaptation-based Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm, informed by wearable sensor data, to dynamically simulate the structural behavior of foot bones under running conditions. Data from fifty participants, categorized as rearfoot and non-rearfoot strikers, were used to create personalized 3D foot models and finite element simulations. Two nine-axis inertial sensors captured three-axis acceleration data during running. The LSTM neural network with domain adaptation proved optimal for predicting bone stress in key foot bones-specifically the metatarsals, calcaneus, and talus-during the mid-stance and push-off phases (RMSE < 8.35 MPa). This non-invasive, cost-effective approach represents a significant advancement for precision health, contributing to the understanding and prevention of running-related fracture injuries.
