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-...

BACKGROUND: Classifying and predicting Parkinson's disease (PD) is challenging because of its diverse subtypes based on severity levels. Currently, identifying objective biomarkers associated with disease severity that can distinguish PD subtypes in ...
The relationship between morphology and locomotion performance in amphibious fish remains poorly understood, particularly in axial-appendage-based and appendage-based movements. To address this, we introduce Polymander, a reconfigurable robot capable...
Freezing of gait (FoG) is a common severe gait disorder in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease. The ability to predict the onset of FoG episodes early on allows for timely intervention, which is essential for improving the life quality of pati...
