Deep learning, ensemble methods, and multimodal fusion were commonly used to process biomechanical and physiological signals. One hybrid IMU\u2010sEMG study involving 50 athletes reported 92.3% accuracy, 90.5% recall, and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.93 for classifying biomechanical injury\u2010risk states. An ankle\u2010monitoring study using data from 87 athletes across 12 sports reported 87.4% overall detection accuracy, a 12.1% false\u2010alarm rate, and 17.2\u2009ms latency.
