The Hungarian University of Sports Science (TF) will host a major international scientific symposium on 15 and 16 October this year. The session called “Injury and disease” will focus on the role of AI in treating injuries.
The international scientific symposium entitled "The 2nd Biomechanics in Sport and Ageing: Artificial Intelligence (AI)”, which is organized by the Hungarian University of Sports Science (TF) and the Department of Kinesiology will be held between 15 and 16 October in Budapest, Hungary. The event, which will take place as part of the 7th Sport and Innovation Conference, will be attended by renowned international experts and lecturers.
The aim of the event is to bring together some of the world's most renowned researchers to discuss the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI), sport and ageing.
On the second day of the event (16 October), four sessions will be held. One of the sessions entitled “Injury and disease” will be chaired by Dr András Hegyi, research fellow at the Department of Kinesiology at the Hungarian University of Sports Science (TF), who also acts as one of the organisers of the symposium.
“Three very high-quality presentations will be delivered during the session”, said Dr Hegyi. “They will provide insights into the role of AI in the diagnosis of injuries and musculoskeletal disorders. The presentations are expected to be very understandable and interesting, so I recommend them to anyone who can attend and is interested in how AI can help diagnose musculoskeletal injuries and lesions.”
Regarding the link between AI and the treatment of injuries, Dr Hegyi explained that AI is also playing an increasing role in the estimation of injury risk and the diagnosis of musculoskeletal degeneration, which of course also helps in prevention and treatment. The first lecture will demonstrate how AI can perform gait analysis based on the measurement of ground reaction forces. The second presentation will explore the possibilities of predicting cruciate ligament injuries, based on video footage. The third and final presentation will show how AI can help to detect pathological lesions of the knee joint based on simple smartphone video recordings.
The lecturers include Gusztáv Fekete from Hungary, Chris Richter from Germany and Melissa Boswell from the US. We learnt that all of them do outstanding research in the field of biomechanics and AI. Melissa Boswell can explain an otherwise much more complex science in a very clear way despite her young age, so her presentation is expected to be an easily digestible and valuable one. The other two speakers are also expected to present their work to a similarly high standard.
Dr Hegyi also outlined the expected outcome of the session.
„The role of AI is relatively new in this area, so we will look at the current limitations as well as the opportunities. I think it is extremely important that the presentations will also highlight the fact that AI cannot currently do everything perfectly for us. A plethora of AI-based motion analysis systems are appearing today, even available for free - this session will also highlight that we don't necessarily have to take everything AI solves for us for granted. Professional knowledge and critical thinking are therefore even more necessary for the proper use of AI.”
