However, reliable signal acquisition during dynamic activities remains challenging due to sensor displacement, motion artifacts, and inconsistent skin contact.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study proposes an advanced wearable VAG system integrating PID-controlled negative-pressure suction and real-time posture estimation to improve signal stability and enhance the assessment of knee joint mechanics during movement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The proposed system combines a wearable acoustic sensing module with a vacuum-assisted suction cup and a PID controller that consistently maintains sensor adhesion. Real-time posture estimation is achieved using MediaPipe Pose, which computes knee flexion angles. VAG signals and kinematic data are synchronously acquired during OKC and CKC exercises for integrated analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this single-subject pilot test, the system achieved stable sensor attachment and repeatable vibroacoustic recordings throughout dynamic movements. Distinguishable frequency-domain characteristics were observed at relevant knee flexion angles, including approximately 30\u00b0, 63\u00b0, and 129\u00b0.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This pilot feasibility study demonstrates that the proposed wearable VAG platform can achieve stable acquisition of synchronized vibroacoustic and kinematic signals during dynamic knee movement in a single subject. These preliminary findings suggest potential future applications in osteoarthritis screening, rehabilitation assessment, and ambulatory monitoring, pending validation in larger, statistically powered cohorts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/09287329261496167","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,12]],"date-time":"2026-10-12T14:48:58Z","timestamp":1791816538000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A wearable vibroarthrography system with PID-controlled negative-pressure suction and synchronized posture estimation"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"given":"Jiun-Hung","family":"Lin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology, Kaohsiung, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3217-0672","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shih-Tsang","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, Ming Chuan University, Taoyuan, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.69B2.3818762"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11517-018-1785-4"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(19)30417-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2020.22171"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","volume-title":"Clinical gait analysis: theory and practice","author":"Kirtley C.","year":"2006","unstructured":"Kirtley C.
