When History Meets Biomechanics: The Slope-Walking Performance of Ancient Xiegong Clogs
This study unveils the biomechanical advantages of traditional Chinese Xiegong clogs. Research combining musculoskeletal simulation and experimental trials with healthy adults confirms that these ancient footwear designs, particularly with a single peg, significantly reduce metabolic cost and lower limb muscle activation during steep uphill and downhill walking. The findings validate historical claims and suggest modern biomechanical applications for ancient footwear principles.

AI-driven, sensor-based, non-imaging system for patient Monitoring
The event will explore pioneering contributions to AI-driven, sensor-based, non-imaging systems for patient monitoring. We believe your lecture would offer valuable insight into the growing intersection of healthcare, machine learning, and real-world clinical applications. A sixth-form student working on an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) on cardiovascular disease prevention will share her experiences related to this subject.
