Improved Active Disturbance Rejection Control for Trajectory Tracking Control of Lower Limb Robotic Rehabilitation Exoskeleton.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Neurological disorders such as cerebral paralysis, spinal cord injuries, and strokes, result in the impairment of motor control and induce functional difficulties to human beings like walking, standing, etc. Physical injuries due to accidents and mus...

A data-driven approach for detecting gait events during turning in people with Parkinson's disease and freezing of gait.

Gait & posture
BACKGROUND: Manual annotation of initial contact (IC) and end contact (EC) is a time consuming process. There are currently no robust techniques available to automate this process for Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with freezing of gait (FOG).

Estimating Lower Extremity Running Gait Kinematics with a Single Accelerometer: A Deep Learning Approach.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Abnormal running kinematics are associated with an increased incidence of lower extremity injuries among runners. Accurate and unobtrusive running kinematic measurement plays an important role in the detection of gait abnormalities and the prevention...

Accurate recognition of lower limb ambulation mode based on surface electromyography and motion data using machine learning.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Background and Objective The lower limb activity of recognition of the elderly, the weak, the disabled and the sick is an irreplaceable role in the caring of daily life. The main purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of using the surface...

Deep learning prediction of falls among nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease.

Geriatrics & gerontology international
AIM: This study aimed to use a convolutional neural network (CNN) to investigate the associations between the time of falling and multiple complicating factors, including age, dementia severity, lower extremity strength and physical function, among n...

Three-dimensional modelling of wheelchair contrived with lower limb exoskeleton for right hemiplegic dysfunction.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
Hemiplegia is a type of paralysis that affects one side of the body due to stroke, characterizing severe weakness or rigid movement. Many people of different age groups are affected by this condition which cannot be completely cured but can be minimi...

Intelligent analysis of coronal alignment in lower limbs based on radiographic image with convolutional neural network.

Computers in biology and medicine
One of the first tasks in osteotomy and arthroplasty is to identify the lower limb varus and valgus deformity status. The measurement of a set of angles to determine this status is generally performed manually with the measurement accuracy depending ...

Effects of Robot-Assisted Gait Training in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury: A Meta-analysis.

BioMed research international
BACKGROUND: To investigate the effects of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on spasticity and pain in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). . Four electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Medline, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) we...

A biarticular passive exosuit to support balance control can reduce metabolic cost of walking.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Nowadays, the focus on the development of assistive devices just for people with mobility disorders has shifted towards enhancing physical abilities of able-bodied humans. As a result, the interest in the design of cheap and soft wearable exoskeleton...

Monitoring Contact Behavior During Assisted Walking With a Lower Limb Exoskeleton.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Interaction forces between a robotic cuff and the skin during assisted walking with a lower limb exoskeleton may cause skin injuries over time, such as blisters and ulcers. This study proposes a sensing cuff that can monitor the contact behavior betw...
