OBJECTIVE: Depression in older adults is a growing public health concern, yet there is still a lack of convenient and real-time methods for depressive symptoms identification. This study aims to develop a gait-based depression recognition method for ...
Anxiety and depression disorders are increasingly common, necessitating methods for real-time assessment and early identification. This study investigates gait analysis as a potential indicator of mental health, using the Microsoft Kinect sensor to c...
Accurate recognition of human activities from gait sensory data plays a vital role in healthcare and wellness monitoring. However, conventional deep learning models for Human Activity Recognition (HAR) often require large labeled datasets and extensi...

BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training is more effective in improving lower limb function and walking ability in stroke patients compared to conventional rehabilitation, but the neural mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to explore the effec...
Many invertebrates voluntarily lose (autotomize) limbs during antagonistic encounters, and some regenerate functional replacements. Because limb loss can have severe consequences on individual fitness, it is likely subject to significant selective pr...
BACKGROUND: Identification of accelerated aging and its biomarkers can lead to more timely therapeutic interventions and decision-making. Therefore, we sought to predict aging-related slow gait, a known predictor of accelerated aging, and its determi...
To enhance the adaptability of tree-climbing robots to changes in tree diameter and load capacity, an "I-shaped" pneumatic flexible tree - climbing robot was designed using self-developed pneumatic flexible joints and retractable needle anchors. The ...
Incomplete tetraplegia, incomplete paraplegia, and cauda equina syndrome are major neurological disorders that significantly reduce patients' quality of life, primarily due to impaired motor function and gait instability. Although conventional neurol...
Stick insects exhibit remarkable adaptive walking capabilities across diverse environments; however, the mechanisms underlying their gait transitions remain poorly understood. Although reinforcement learning (RL) has been employed to generate insect-...
