A Deep Learning-Based Framework Oriented to Pathological Gait Recognition with Inertial Sensors.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Abnormal locomotor patterns may occur in case of either motor damages or neurological conditions, thus potentially jeopardizing an individual's safety. Pathological gait recognition (PGR) is a research field that aims to discriminate among different ...

Computer model for gait assessments in Parkinson's patients using a fuzzy inference model and inertial sensors.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) in the moderate and severe stages can present several walk alterations. They can show slow movements and difficulty initiating, varying, or interrupting their gait; freezing; short steps; speed changes; shufflin...

Real-Time Freezing of Gait Prediction and Detection in Parkinson's Disease.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Freezing of gait (FOG) is a walking disturbance that can lead to postural instability, falling, and decreased mobility in people with Parkinson's disease. This research used machine learning to predict and detect FOG episodes from plantar-pressure da...

Augmented Effect of Combined Robotic Assisted Gait Training and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation-irradiation Technique on Muscle Activation and Ankle Kinematics in Hemiparetic Gait: A Preliminary Study.

NeuroRehabilitation
BackgroundProprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) alone has limited effectiveness in restoring gait, while robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) improves motor relearning through repetitive, task-specific movements. Combining PNF with robotic...

Artificial intelligence tools for engagement prediction in neuromotor disorder patients during rehabilitation.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-Assisted Gait Rehabilitation (RAGR) is an established clinical practice to encourage neuroplasticity in patients with neuromotor disorders. Nevertheless, tasks repetition imposed by robots may induce boredom, affecting clinical outc...

Effectiveness of unilateral lower-limb exoskeleton robot on balance and gait recovery and neuroplasticity in patients with subacute stroke: a randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Impaired balance and gait in stroke survivors are associated with decreased functional independence. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of unilateral lower-limb exoskeleton robot-assisted overground gait training compared with...

In-Home Gait Abnormality Detection Through Footstep-Induced Floor Vibration Sensing and Person-Invariant Contrastive Learning.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Detecting gait abnormalities is crucial for assessing fall risks and early identification of neuromusculoskeletal disorders such as Parkinson's and stroke. Traditional assessments in gait clinics are infrequent and pose barriers, particularly for dis...

Effects of Robot-Assisted Gait Training on Balance and Fear of Falling in Patients With Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was compare the effects of combined training, which included robot-assisted gait training in addition to traditional balance training, and traditional balance training alone on balance and fear of falling in patients ...

On the role of visual feedback and physiotherapist-patient interaction in robot-assisted gait training: an eye-tracking and HD-EEG study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Treadmill based Robotic-Assisted Gait Training (t-RAGT) provides for automated locomotor training to help the patient achieve a physiological gait pattern, reducing the physical effort required by therapist. By introducing the robot as a ...

Effectiveness of robotic rehabilitation for gait and balance in people with multiple sclerosis: a systematic review.

Journal of neurology
This review investigated the effectiveness of robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) in improving gait and balance performance in adults with multiple sclerosis (MS). Databases and registers were searched from inception to December 2023 to identify ra...
