Human biomechanics and gait form an integral part of life. The gait analysis involves a large number of interdependent parameters that were difficult to interpret due to a vast amount of data and their inter-relations. To simplify evaluation, the int...
Falls are a significant threat to the health and independence of elderly people and represent an enormous burden on the healthcare system. Successfully predicting falls could be of great help, yet this requires a timely and accurate fall risk assessm...
Classification of foot-ground contact phases, as well as the swing phase is essential in biomechanics domains where lower-limb motion analysis is required; this analysis is used for lower-limb rehabilitation, walking gait analysis and improvement, an...
Lower-limb wearable robotic devices can improve clinical gait and reduce energetic demand in healthy populations. To help enable real-world use, we sought to examine how assistance should be applied in variable gait conditions and suggest an approach...
Activity recognition is one of the most active areas of research in ubiquitous computing. In particular, gait activity recognition is useful to identify various risk factors in people's health that are directly related to their physical activity. One...
Freezing of gait (FOG) is a debilitating motor phenomenon that is common among individuals with advanced Parkinson's disease. Objective and sensitive measures are needed to better quantify FOG. The present work addresses this need by leveraging weara...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning models were satisfactorily implemented for estimating gait events from surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals during walking. Most of them are based on inter-subject approaches for data preparation. Aim of the study is ...
Gait is a characteristic that has been utilized for identifying individuals. As human gait information is now able to be captured by several types of devices, many studies have proposed biometric identification methods using gait information. As rese...
To diagnose neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), physicians have been clinically evaluating symptoms. However, these symptoms are not very dependable-particularly in the early stages of the diseases. This study has therefore proposed a novel classifica...
