Gait Analysis Using a Support Vector Machine for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis.

Orthopedics Nov 1, 2015
Lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSS) is diagnosed based on physical examination and radiological documentation of lumbar spinal canal narrowing. Differential diagnosis of the level of lumbar radiculopathy is difficult in multilevel spinal stenosis. The...

GAIT PATTERN RECOGNITION IN CEREBRAL PALSY PATIENTS USING NEURAL NETWORK MODELLING.

Journal of Ayub Medical College, Abbottabad : JAMC Jan 1, 2015
BACKGROUND: Interpretation of gait data obtained from modern 3D gait analysis is a challenging and time consuming task. The aim of this study was to create neural network models which can recognise the gait patterns from pre- and post-treatment and t...

Comparison between the therapeutic effects of robotic-assisted locomotor training and an anti-spastic medication on spasticity.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference Jan 1, 2015
We studied the effects of robotic-assisted locomotor (LOKOMAT) training or an anti-spastic medication (tizanidine) on neuromuscular abnormality associated with spasticity in persons with incomplete Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). Subjects were randomly div...

Design of a quasi-passive 3 DOFs ankle-foot wearable rehabilitation orthosis.

Bio-medical materials and engineering Jan 1, 2015
Muscular rigidity and atrophy caused by long-term underactivity usually lead to foot drop, strephenopodia, foot extorsion or some other complications for the lower limb movement disorders or lower limb surgery sufferers. The ankle-foot orthosis can h...
