“…In the study of Kowalski et al ( 2021 ), the interaction of sex with state and trait physical and mental fatigue is investigated. It is assessed by the asymmetry of lateral step variability and coefficient of variation of gait speed, stride length and double limb support.…”

IntroductionIt is proved that there are differences between gait performed by females and males, which appear in movements of selected body parts. Despite numerous state-of-the-art studies related to the discriminative analysis of motion capture data, the question of whether measures of signal complexity and uncertainty can extract valuable features for the problem of sex distinction still remains open. It is the subject of the paper.MethodsCorrelation dimension, as well as approximate and sample entropies, are selected to describe motion data. In the numerical experiments, the collected dataset with 884 samples of 25 females and 30 males was used. The measurements took place in the Human Motion Laboratory (HML), equipped with a highly precise motion capture system. Two variants of data representation were investigated-time series that contain joint rotations of taken skeleton model as well as positions of the markers attached to the human body. Finally, a comparative analysis between the populations of females and males using descriptive statistics, non-parametric estimation, and statistical hypotheses verification was carried out.ResultsThere are statistically significant sex differences extracted by the taken measures. In general, the movements of lower limbs result in greater values of correlation dimension and entropies for females, while selected upper body parts play a similar role for males. The dissimilarities are mainly observed in hip, ankle, shoulder, and head movements.DiscussionCorrelation dimension and entropy measures provide robust and explainable features of motion capture data with a valuable description of the human locomotion system. Thus, beyond the importance of discovered differences between females and males, their interpretation and understanding are also known.

Low back pain (LBP) is a global issue involving biological, psychological, and social factors. Pain-related fear has been shown to influence movement behavior, however, its association with some measures of movement behavior, such as spinal movement variability, remains inconclusive. To further investigate this, spinal kinematics during various activities of daily living (i.e., walking, running, lifting, and stair climbing) of 49 patients with chronic LBP and a group of 51 sex-, age-, and BMI-matched healthy controls were used to calculate lumbar spine movement variability which was quantified using different indices (i.e., coefficient of variation, coupling angle variability in vector coding, deviation phase of the continuous relative phase and an angle-angular velocity variability). General and task-specific pain-related fear was assessed using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia and the Photograph Series of Daily Activities—Short Electronic Version, respectively. Linear regression analyses showed no significant association between movement variability and pain-related fear, however, the sample consisted of younger individuals with moderate disability and with low levels of pain and pain-related fear. In addition, the different variability indices were weakly correlated and varied greatly depending on the method used and the task performed. Therefore, comparisons between studies with different movement variability calculation methods or different activities should be treated with caution.
