A machine learning approach to identify important variables for distinguishing between fallers and non-fallers in older women.

PloS one
Falls are a significant ongoing public health concern for older adults. At present, few studies have concurrently explored the influence of multiple measures when seeking to determine which variables are most predictive of fall risks. As such, this c...

Neural prosthesis control restores near-normative neuromechanics in standing postural control.

Science robotics
Current lower-limb prostheses do not provide active assistance in postural control tasks to maintain the user's balance, particularly in situations of perturbation. In this study, we aimed to address this missing function by enabling neural control o...

Pain, dynamic postural control, mental health and impact of oral health in individuals with temporomandibular disorder: A cross-sectional study.

Journal of bodywork and movement therapies
INTRODUCTION: Some studies claim that functional changes in TMD affect the stomatognathic system (SS) and could contribute to the emergence of pain and changes in postural control.

Age-specific biomechanical challenges and engagement in dynamic balance training with robotic or virtual real-time visual feedback.

Journal of biomechanics
Challenging balance training that targets age-related neuromuscular and motor coordination deficits is needed for effective fall prevention therapy. Goal-directed training can provide intrinsically motivating balance activities but may not equally ch...

Diagnostic posture control system for seated-style echocardiography robot.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Conventional robotic ultrasound systems were utilized with patients in supine positions. Meanwhile, the limitation of the systems is that it is difficult to evacuate the patients in case of emergency (e.g., patient discomfort and system fail...

A 3-DoF robotic platform for the rehabilitation and assessment of reaction time and balance skills of MS patients.

PloS one
The central nervous system (CNS) exploits anticipatory (APAs) and compensatory (CPAs) postural adjustments to maintain the balance. The postural adjustments comprising stability of the center of mass (CoM) and the pressure distribution of the body in...

A Deep-Learning Based Real-Time Prediction of Seated Postural Limits and Its Application in Trunk Rehabilitation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Seated postural limit defines the boundary of a region such that for any excursions made outside this boundary a subject cannot return the trunk to the neutral position without additional external support. The seated postural limits can be used as a ...

Leg Muscle Activity and Joint Motion during Balance Exercise Using a Newly Developed Weight-Shifting-Based Robot Control System.

International journal of environmental research and public health
A novel and fun exercise robot (LOCOBOT) was developed to improve balance ability. This system can control a spherical robot on a floor by changing the center of pressure (COP) based on weight-shifting on a board. The present study evaluated leg musc...

Effects of robotic rehabilitation using the Erigo device on patients with neurological injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the effects of robotic rehabilitation with the Erigo device on patients with neurological injury on safety, spasticity, muscle strength, functionality, gait/balance, and changes in the level of consciousness.
