BACKGROUND: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that affects approximately 25% of individuals over their lifetime, with prevalence expected to rise due to population aging. Gait analysis is recognized as a valuable tool for unders...
Despite the increasing use of inertial measurement units (IMUs) and machine learning techniques for gait analysis, there remains a gap in which feature selection methods are best tailored for gait time series prediction. This study explores the impac...
OBJECTIVES: Falls are among the most prevalent workplace accidents, necessitating thorough screening for susceptibility to falls and customization of individualized fall prevention programs. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a high fa...
PURPOSE: A debilitating and poorly understood symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) is freezing of gait (FoG), which increases the risk of falling. Clinical evaluations of FoG, relying on patients' subjective reports and manual examinations by speciali...
