Abstract

Background

Despite the constant publication of motion analysis studies in the literature, the current focus of motion analysis laboratories is often showcased at conferences. Papers and abstracts presented at these events are a crucial source of information for scientists regarding the direction of research in the field. The most comprehensive congress in Europe for presenting current movement analysis studies for adults and children is the European Society for Movement Analysis in Adults and Children (ESMAC)

Research question

How have motion analysis study trends changed in the last 15 years based on the papers presented at ESMAC congresses?

Methods

The titles of abstracts presented at the ESMAC congress between 2008 and 2023 were included in the study. Text mining was performed using the k-means algorithm in Python. Trend changes were analyzed in three groups of five years each.

Results

A total of 3038 paper titles presented at the ESMAC congress were included in the study. The most prominent term in the word cloud obtained from the paper titles was 'Cerebral Palsy.' The trending topics in each 5-year period were Cerebral Palsy, Gait Analysis, Balance, Foot, and Knee. The highest number of studies was presented in 2019 (n = 334), and the lowest in 2014 (n = 134).

Significance

While Cerebral Palsy remains a central focus in movement analysis, the emphasis has shifted over time. Technological advances have significantly enhanced motion analysis, with trending topics in each 5-year period.

从昨天到今天的运动分析大会：文本挖掘分析

尽管在文献中不断发表运动分析研究，但目前运动分析实验室的重点经常在会议上展示。在这些活动上发表的论文和摘要是科学家关于该领域研究方向的重要信息来源。欧洲最全面的成人和儿童运动分析研究大会是欧洲成人和儿童运动分析学会（ESMAC）。研究问题：根据ESMAC大会上发表的论文，运动分析研究趋势在过去15年中发生了什么变化？方法选取2008 - 2023年在ESMAC大会上发表的论文摘要。使用Python中的k-means算法执行文本挖掘。趋势变化分为三组，每组5年。结果本研究共纳入在ESMAC大会上发表的论文3038篇。从论文标题中获得的“云”一词中最突出的一个词是“脑瘫”。每5年期间的趋势主题是脑瘫、步态分析、平衡、足和膝盖。2019年发表的研究数量最多（n = 334），2014年最少（n = 134）。虽然脑瘫仍然是运动分析的中心焦点，但随着时间的推移，重点已经转移。技术进步大大增强了运动分析，每5年都有趋势话题。

期刊介绍： Gait & Posture is a vehicle for the publication of up-to-date basic and clinical research on all aspects of locomotion and balance. The topics covered include: Techniques for the measurement of gait and posture, and the standardization of results presentation; Studies of normal and pathological gait; Treatment of gait and postural abnormalities; Biomechanical and theoretical approaches to gait and posture; Mathematical models of joint and muscle mechanics; Neurological and musculoskeletal function in gait and posture; The evolution of upright posture and bipedal locomotion; Adaptations of carrying loads, walking on uneven surfaces, climbing stairs etc; spinal biomechanics only if they are directly related to gait and/or posture and are of general interest to our readers; The effect of aging and development on gait and posture; Psychological and cultural aspects of gait; Patient education.
