This study marks the first endeavor to utilize wearable technology combined with machine learning to objectively assess the Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (m-CTSIB). We focus on developing an affordable, easily accessible me...
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...
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...
The beam walk is widely used to study coordination and balance in rodents. While the task has ethological validity, the main endpoints of "foot slip counts" and "time to cross" are prone to human-rater variability and offer limited sensitivity and sp...
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. ...
