Gait analysis systems are critical for assessing motor function in rehabilitation and elderly care. This study aimed to develop and optimize an abnormal gait classification algorithm considering joint impairments using inertial measurement units (IMU...
Gait speed is increasingly recognized as an important health indicator. However, gait analysis in clinical settings often encounters inconsistencies due to methodological variability and resource constraints. To address these challenges, GaitKeeper u...
Living tissues are still far from being used as practical components in biohybrid robots because of limitations in life span, sensitivity to environmental factors, and stringent culture procedures. Here, we introduce fungal mycelia as an easy-to-use ...
BACKGROUND: Walking impairment represents a relevant symptom in patients with neurological diseases often compromising social participation. Currently, mixed methods studies on robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in patients with rare neurological di...

Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) progressively impairs gait function, resulting in the need for patients to use a wheelchair approximately 20 years after onset. No reports have investigated the effects of long-term exercise training using th...
Slip, trip, and fall (STF) accidents cause high rates of absence from work in many companies. During the 2022 reporting period, the German Social Accident Insurance recorded 165,420 STF accidents, of which 12 were fatal and 2485 led to disability pen...
Gait disorders in neurological diseases are frequently associated with spasticity. Intramuscular injection of Botulinum Toxin Type A (BTX-A) can be used to treat spasticity. Providing optimal treatment with the highest possible benefit-risk ratio is ...
