The study presents a vision‑language model pipeline that estimates dynamic, triaxial, bilateral external hand forces during manual material handling tasks using only RGB video and known box mass. By combining text‑guided ROI localization, pretrained vision‑transformer features, and transformer‑based temporal regression, the model achieved root mean square errors of about 4.7–5.6 N for horizontal and mediolateral forces and 10.6–11.0 N for vertical forces across various camera setups. The approach demonstrated that including the handled object as a second ROI and using multi‑camera capture improved peak‑force estimation, showing the feasibility of sensor‑free force estimation for occupational exposure assessment.
External hand forces are important inputs to biomechanical analyses of occupational physical exposure and injury risk, yet continuous force measurements during manual material handling (MMH) typically...

This scoping review examined 117 studies on video-based markerless motion capture, most published from 2024 onward and focused on healthy adults walking in laboratories. The studies identified five main pipeline architectures, but most reported only raw joint angles without biomechanical refinement, achieving sagittal lower‑limb agreement of about 5–6°, which falls short of clinical acceptability. Validation of out‑of‑plane kinematics, kinetics, and performance in older or pathological populations was rare, and emerging computer‑vision techniques such as foundation‑model mesh recovery and differentiable inverse kinematics were largely absent from validated work.
KAD-Net introduces a Kinematics-Aware Decoupled Learning Network for 3D hand pose estimation from a single depth image. It employs a Finger Topology Constraint module that uses local kinematic representations of three consecutive finger joints to better model distal joint relationships and handle occlusion. The architecture also decouples 2D joint localization from depth estimation in a hierarchical multitask framework, reducing feature interference and improving accuracy on benchmark datasets such as ICVL, NYU, and MSRA.
