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...

OBJECTIVE: To compare fall risk scores of hearing aids embedded with inertial measurement units (IMU-HAs) and powered by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms with scores by trained observers.
AIM: This work aimed to update and summarize the existing evidence on the effectiveness of robot-assisted training (RAT) in adults with Parkinson's disease (PD).
BACKGROUND: Electromyographic (EMG) recordings indicate that both the flexor digitorum brevis and soleus muscles contribute significantly to the control of standing balance, However, less is known about the adjustments in EMG activity of these two mu...
Millions of people around the globe are impacted by falls annually, making it a significant public health concern. Falls are particularly challenging to detect in real time, as they often occur suddenly and with little warning, highlighting the need ...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was compare the effects of combined training, which included robot-assisted gait training in addition to traditional balance training, and traditional balance training alone on balance and fear of falling in patients ...
The purpose of our study was to evaluate the accuracy with which classification algorithms could distinguish among standing postures based on center-of-pressure (CoP) trajectories. We performed a secondary analysis of published data from three studie...
