Automatic Classification on Multi-Modal MRI Data for Diagnosis of the Postural Instability and Gait Difficulty Subtype of Parkinson's Disease.

Journal of Parkinson's disease May 11, 2016
BACKGROUND: Patients with the postural instability and gait difficulty subtype (PIGD) of Parkinson's disease (PD) are a refractory challenge in clinical practice. Despite previous attempts that have been made at studying subtype-specific brain altera...

Biomechanics of Step Initiation After Balance Recovery With Implications for Humanoid Robot Locomotion.

Journal of biomechanical engineering Mar 1, 2016
Balance-recovery stepping is often necessary for both a human and humanoid robot to avoid a fall by taking a single step or multiple steps after an external perturbation. The determination of where to step to come to a complete stop has been studied,...

Clinical vestibular testing assessed with machine-learning algorithms.

JAMA otolaryngology-- head & neck surgery Apr 1, 2015
IMPORTANCE: Dizziness and imbalance are common clinical problems, and accurate diagnosis depends on determining whether damage is localized to the peripheral vestibular system. Vestibular testing guides this determination, but the accuracy of the dif...

Shifting the balance of human standing: Inter-limb coordination for the control of a robotic balance simulation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference Jan 1, 2015
Learning to maintain standing balance in the presence of a paretic limb is an important recovery process for many stroke survivors. In this study, we used a robotic balance simulator to investigate whether manipulating medial-lateral or anterior-post...

Robotic gait training improves motor skills and quality of life in hereditary spastic paraplegia.

NeuroRehabilitation Jan 1, 2015
BACKGROUND: Gait impairment, balance problems and falls have a negative impact on independence in ADL and quality of life of patients affected by Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP). Since no pharmacological options are available, treatments rely mos...
