Developing a Subject-Specific Model of Knee Joint during cycling on a stationary bike

We're working on a project to understand how your legs move and the forces they experience while you're pedaling on a stationary bike. By using video cameras, special pedals that measure force, and sensors that detect muscle activity, we aim to figure out how much stress is placed on your knee joints during cycling. This will help us create a personalized model to predict and possibly reduce knee pain or injuries for cyclists.
