Extended reality (XR) technology combines physical reality with computer synthetic virtuality to deliver immersive experience to users. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are two subdomains within XR with different immersion levels. Both...
BACKGROUND: Despite the promising effects of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on balance and gait in post-stroke rehabilitation, the optimal predictors of fall-related balance and effective RAGT attributes remain unclear in post-stroke patients at...
PURPOSE: This study applied a machine learning semi-supervised clustering approach to radiographs of adolescent sagittal spines from a single pediatric institution to identify patterns of sagittal alignment in the normal adolescent spine. We sought t...
Pupillometry has been used in the studies of postural control to assess cognitive load during dual tasks, but its response to increased balance task intensity has not been investigated. Furthermore, it is unknown whether side-specific changes in pupi...
Wearable robots have promising characteristics for human augmentation; however, the the design and specification stage needs to consider biomechanical impact. In this work, musculoskeletal software is used to assess the biomechanical implications of ...
OBJECTIVE: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) frequently develops as a result of lateral ankle sprains (LAS) in delivery service workers (DSWs). Identifying risk factors for CAI is crucial for implementing targeted interventions. This study aimed to dev...
This review investigated the effectiveness of robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) in improving gait and balance performance in adults with multiple sclerosis (MS). Databases and registers were searched from inception to December 2023 to identify ra...
A central pattern generator (CPG)-based controller enhances the adaptability of quadrupedal locomotion, for example, by controlling the trunk posture. The conventional CPG-based controllers with attitude control often utilized the posture angle as fe...
