Gait coordination (GC), meaning that one leg moves in the same pattern but with a specific phase lag to the other, is a spontaneous behavior in the walking of a healthy person. It is also crucial for unilateral amputees with the robotic leg prosthesi...
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common musculoskeletal pain disorder experienced by runners. While biomechanics of those with PFP have been extensively studied, methodological considerations may omit important adaptations exhibited by those experienci...

Entraining human gait with a periodic mechanical perturbation has been proposed as a potentially effective strategy for gait rehabilitation, but the related studies have mostly depended on the use of a fixed-speed treadmill (FST) due to various pract...

Although studies on terrain identification algorithms to control walking assistive devices have been conducted using sensor fusion, studies on transition classification using only electromyography (EMG) signals have yet to be conducted. Therefore, th...
This paper presents a non-parametric identification scheme for a class of uncertain switched nonlinear systems based on continuous-time neural networks. This scheme is based on a continuous neural network identifier. This adaptive identifier guarante...

Factors affecting the efficiency of walking independence in patients with subacute stroke following robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) and conventional treatment (RAGT-CT) were examined. This retrospective cohort study included 37 patients with stro...
Freezing of gait (FoG) is a profoundly disruptive gait disturbance in Parkinson's disease, causing unintended stops while walking. Therapies for FoG reveal modest and transient effects, resulting in a lack of effective treatments. Here we show proof ...

The efficacy of human activity recognition (HAR) models mostly relies on the characteristics derived from domain expertise. The input of the classification algorithm consists of many characteristics that are utilized to accurately and effectively cla...
Lower limb exoskeletons and orthoses have been increasingly used to assist the user during gait rehabilitation through torque transmission and motor stability. However, the physical human-robot interface (HRi) has not been properly addressed. Current...
Quantitative Gait Analysis (QGA) is considered as an objective measure of gait performance. In this study, we aim at designing an artificial intelligence that can efficiently predict the progression of gait quality using kinematic data obtained from ...
