AI Biomechanics Lab (AIBL)
Led by Kerry Costello · Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
What we study
This lab studies how the way people move affects their joints and muscles, focusing on knee osteoarthritis and sports injuries. It uses AI, wearable sensors and motion capture to find movement patterns and guide personalized treatment.

Current projects
Pain Flares in Knee Osteoarthritis Study
Examines how patterns of physical activity relate to knee osteoarthritis pain flares over time, looking at the size, duration and loading frequency of everyday activity.
Florida Moves (FLoMo) Study
Collects walking and daily activity data from healthy people and people with knee osteoarthritis, using wearable sensors and motion capture, to find movement patterns linked to disease progression with machine learning.

MOST Study
Analyzes data from the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study, about 4,000 participants with accelerometer and ground reaction force data, to see whether physical activity and walking forces predict knee osteoarthritis progression.
Softball Swing Analysis
Builds a link between force production and swing power by combining weight-room force plate measurements with batting-cage swing metrics for UF softball players.
Balancing Data Reduction and Signal Integrity in Wearable Accelerometry for Osteoarthritis
The lab studies how to cut down the amount of data from wearable motion sensors without losing important movement information. Students analyze large data sets, design filters, and test how much detail is kept when the sampling rate is lowered.
