Freezing of gait (FoG) is a debilitating symptom of Parkinson's disease that severely impacts patients' mobility and quality of life. To minimize the risk of falls and injuries associated with FoG, it is crucial to develop highly accurate FoG detecti...
BACKGROUND: Patient-reported joint instability after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is difficult to quantify objectively. Here, we apply machine learning to cluster TKA subjects using nine literature-proposed gait parameters as knee instability predic...

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 ...
BACKGROUND: Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, with lower limb dysfunction being a common sequela that significantly impacts patients' mobility and quality of life. Robotic-assisted training has emerged as a promising intervention for...
BACKGROUND: Two-thirds of people aged 65 years and older may require help with daily activities such as eating, bathing, and getting in and out of bed or a chair. Walking-assist wearable robots have shown significant improvements in physical function...
BACKGROUND: With the rapid development of digital biomarkers in Parkinson disease (PD) research, it has become increasingly important to explore the current research trends and key areas of focus.

RATIONALE: Walking difficulties are common after a stroke. During rehabilitation, electromechanical and robotic gait-training devices can help improve walking. As the evidence and certainty of the evidence may have changed since our last update in 20...
Mammal-inspired quadruped robots excel in traversing diverse terrestrial terrains but often lack aquatic mobility, limiting their effectiveness in amphibious environments. To address this challenge, an amphibious robotic dog (ARD) was developed, inte...
Crutches are of extensive applications in the field of rehabilitation. Comprehensively analyzing the ground reaction forces (GRFs) on both crutches and feet can evaluate the patients' walking function recovery. Given more force platforms are needed i...
