Adaptive Neural Sliding-Mode Controller for Alternative Control Strategies in Lower Limb Rehabilitation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Research on control strategies for rehabilitation robots has gradually shifted from providing therapies with fixed, relatively stiff assistance to compelling alternatives with assistance or challenge strategies to maximize subject participation. Thes...

Using supervised learning machine algorithm to identify future fallers based on gait patterns: A two-year longitudinal study.

Experimental gerontology
INTRODUCTION: Given their major health consequences in the elderly, identifying people at risk of fall is a major challenge faced by clinicians. A lot of studies have confirmed the relationships between gait parameters and falls incidence. However, a...

Detection of Human Fall Using Floor Vibration and Multi-Features Semi-Supervised SVM.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Human falls are the premier cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries among older adults. The health outcome of a fall event is largely dependent on rapid response and rescue of the fallen elder. Being able to provide an accurate and fast fall detection w...

Development and validation of a pragmatic natural language processing approach to identifying falls in older adults in the emergency department.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Falls among older adults are both a common reason for presentation to the emergency department, and a major source of morbidity and mortality. It is critical to identify fall patients quickly and reliably during, and immediately after, em...

A New Approach to Fall Detection Based on Improved Dual Parallel Channels Convolutional Neural Network.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Falls are the major cause of fatal and non-fatal injury among people aged more than 65 years. Due to the grave consequences of the occurrence of falls, it is necessary to conduct thorough research on falls. This paper presents a method for the study ...

Fast and automatic assessment of fall risk by coupling machine learning algorithms with a depth camera to monitor simple balance tasks.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Falls in the elderly constitute a major health issue associated to population ageing. Current clinical tests evaluating fall risk mostly consist in assessing balance abilities. The devices used for these tests can be expensive or inconven...

Accelerometer-Based Human Fall Detection Using Convolutional Neural Networks.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Human falls are a global public health issue resulting in over 37.3 million severe injuries and 646,000 deaths yearly. Falls result in direct financial cost to health systems and indirectly to society productivity. Unsurprisingly, human fall detectio...

Development of a Strategy to Predict and Detect Falls Using Wearable Sensors.

Journal of medical systems
Falls are a prevalent problem in actual society. Some falls result in injuries and the cost associated with their treatment is high. This is a complex problem that requires several steps in order to be tackled. Firstly, it is crucial to develop strat...

Falls Risk Classification of Older Adults Using Deep Neural Networks and Transfer Learning.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Prior research in falls risk classification using inertial sensors has relied on the use of engineered features, which has resulted in a feature space containing hundreds of features that are likely redundant and possibly irrelevant. In this paper, w...

Mining fall-related information in clinical notes: Comparison of rule-based and novel word embedding-based machine learning approaches.

Journal of biomedical informatics
BACKGROUND: Natural language processing (NLP) of health-related data is still an expertise demanding, and resource expensive process. We created a novel, open source rapid clinical text mining system called NimbleMiner. NimbleMiner combines several m...
