- This study presents a new approach to assess the higher derivatives of spine motions and their correlations with muscle activation patterns. Previous biomechanical measurements have poor correlation with functions. This study is clinically important as the new parameters have been shown to be related to patient disability. This international research collaboration has led to the development of novel therapeutic exercises which have been shown to reduce neck pain (Eur J Pain, 2019, 23(6):1141-1152), and the successful acquisition of a research grant (Health Care and Promotion Scheme 2019-2021, Hong Kong Government, Smart choice: Health-conscious programme for using smart devices.)
