BACKGROUND: Inter-segment joint angles can be obtained from inertial measurement units (IMUs); however, accurate 3D joint motion measurement, which requires sensor fusion and signal processing, sensor alignment with segments and joint axis calibratio...
BACKGROUND: This study leverages Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to predict lower limb joint moments and electromyography (EMG) signals from Ground Reaction Forces (GRF), providing a novel perspective on human gait analysis. This approach aims to e...
BACKGROUND: Gait feature recognition is crucial to improve the efficiency and coordination of exoskeleton assistance. The recognition methods based on surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals are popular. However, the recognition accuracy of these me...
BACKGROUND: Electromyographic (EMG) recordings indicate that both the flexor digitorum brevis and soleus muscles contribute significantly to the control of standing balance, However, less is known about the adjustments in EMG activity of these two mu...
INTRODUCTION: The advent of digital and mobile health innovations, especially use of wearables for passive data collection, allows remote monitoring and creates an abundance of data. For this information to be interpretable, machine learning (ML) pro...
BACKGROUND: Many children with cerebral palsy (CP) show impairments in trunk posture control, one crucial factor contributing to impairments in gait and arm manipulation.
BACKGROUND: Among neurological pathologies, cerebral palsy and stroke are the main contributors to walking disorders. Machine learning methods have been proposed in the recent literature to analyze gait data from these patients. However, machine lear...
BACKGROUND: Stroke survivors often experience balance and gait problems, which can affect their quality of life and independence in daily living activities. Robot-assisted gait training, such as Lokomat with virtual reality, has been found to be effe...
BACKGROUND: Marker-less systems based on digital video cameras and deep learning for gait analysis could have a deep impact in clinical routine. A recently developed system has shown promising results in terms of joint center position but has not bee...
BACKGROUND: Early detection of gait abnormalities is critical for preventing severe injuries in future falls. The timed up and go (TUG) test is a commonly used clinical gait screening test; however, the interpretation of its results is limited to the...
