Motor control requires sensory feedback, and the nature of this feedback has implications for the tasks of the central nervous system (CNS): for an approximately linear mechanical system (e.g., a freely standing person, a rider on a bicycle), if the ...
Limited evidence exists on the efficiency of the sensory systems of children with sensory impairment. The purpose of this study was to examine the sensory systems involved in postural control of male children with hearing (HI) or visual impairments (...
Maintaining the balance and safety of the exoskeleton human-robot coupling system is a prerequisite for realizing the rehabilitation training function. Therefore, research on the balance of lower limb exoskeleton robots has attracted much attention. ...
Tai Chi, an Asian martial art, is renowned for its health benefits, particularly in promoting healthy aging among older adults, improving balance, and reducing fall risk. However, methodological challenges hinder the objective measurement of adherenc...
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological condition that affects mobility and motor control, presenting significant challenges for accurate diagnosis, particularly in cases of hemiplegia and diplegia. This study proposes a method of classification utiliz...
BACKGROUND: The integration of collaborative robots (cobots) in industrial settings has the potential to enhance worker safety and efficiency by improving postural control and reducing biomechanical risk. Understanding the specific impacts of varying...

BACKGROUND: Postural instability greatly reduces quality of life in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Early and objective detection of postural impairments is crucial to facilitate interventions. Our aim was to use a convolutional neural network ...
BACKGROUND: Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor symptoms. Recently, dance has started to be considered an effective intervention for people with PD. Several findings in the literature emphasize th...

Step width is vital for gait stability, postural balance control, and fall risk reduction. However, estimating step width typically requires either fixed cameras or a full kinematic body suit of wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs), both of whi...
Mobility tasks like the Timed Up and Go test (TUG), cognitive TUG (cogTUG), and walking with turns provide insights into the impact of Parkinson's disease (PD) on motor control, balance, and cognitive function. We assess the test-retest reliability o...
