Traditional approaches rely on handcrafted features that fail to capture complex spatiotemporal dependencies, while recent deep learning methods often produce predictions violating biomechanical principles.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This work presents a framework that integrates differentiable biomechanical constraints into hierarchical attention architecture for wearable inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based fatigue assessment. The method incorporates three components: (1) hierarchical multi-sensor attention that adaptively processes distributed IMU measurements through cross-sensor and temporal attention mechanisms; (2) differentiable biomechanical constraints implementing kinematic range limits, Newton-Euler dynamics, bilateral symmetry relationships, and mechanical energy conservation as learnable regularizers; (3) adaptive constraint weighting via curriculum learning that schedules physics enforcement from data-driven warmup to progressive constraint strengthening with fatigue-dependent scaling.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Evaluation on gait cycles from multiple participants demonstrates improved classification accuracy on multi-level fatigue assessment with robust performance under sensor noise and individual sensor failures.
