Feature selection based on a fuzzy complementary criterion: application to gait recognition using ground reaction forces.

abstract：:It is still unclear how a vertebral fracture should be stabilised and strengthened without endangering the remaining intact bone of the augmented vertebra or the adjacent vertebrae. Numerical modelling may provide insight. To date, however, few finite element (FE) spine models have been developed which are both multi-...
