HRDepthNet: Depth Image-Based Marker-Less Tracking of Body Joints.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
With approaches for the detection of joint positions in color images such as HRNet and OpenPose being available, consideration of corresponding approaches for depth images is limited even though depth images have several advantages over color images ...

Using machine learning to investigate the relationship between domains of functioning and functional mobility in older adults.

PloS one
Previous studies have shown that functional mobility, along with other physical functions, decreases with advanced age. However, it is still unclear which domains of functioning (body structures, body functions, and activities) are most closely relat...

Comparison of postural control in older adults under different dual-task conditions: A cross-sectional study.

Journal of bodywork and movement therapies
BACKGROUND: and purpose: Performing a cognitive task while maintaining postural stability, known as "dual-task" condition, can increase the cognitive demand and reduce the postural control capacity. The inability to allocate attention to postural con...

Comparison of a Deep Learning-Based Pose Estimation System to Marker-Based and Kinect Systems in Exergaming for Balance Training.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Using standard digital cameras in combination with deep learning (DL) for pose estimation is promising for the in-home and independent use of exercise games (exergames). We need to investigate to what extent such DL-based systems can provide satisfyi...

Using machine learning-based analytics of daily activities to identify modifiable risk factors for falling in Parkinson's disease.

Parkinsonism & related disorders
BACKGROUND: Although risk factors that lead to falling in Parkinson's disease (PD) have been previously studied, the established predictors are mostly non-modifiable. A novel method for fall risk assessment may provide more insight into preventable h...

Effects of Robotic Exoskeleton-Aided Gait Training in the Strength, Body Balance, and Walking Speed in Individuals With Multiple Sclerosis: A Single-Group Preliminary Study.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To assess effects of 15 exoskeleton-assisted gait training sessions, reflected by the muscle strength of the lower limbs and by walking speed immediately after the training sessions and at the 6-week follow-up.

Automated identification of postural control for children with autism spectrum disorder using a machine learning approach.

Journal of biomechanics
It is unclear whether postural sway characteristics could be used as diagnostic biomarkers for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The purpose of this study was to develop and validate an automated identification of postural control patterns in children ...

Classification of Parkinson's disease and essential tremor based on balance and gait characteristics from wearable motion sensors via machine learning techniques: a data-driven approach.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET) are movement disorders that can have similar clinical characteristics including tremor and gait difficulty. These disorders can be misdiagnosed leading to delay in appropriate treatment. ...

Robotic Light Touch Assists Human Balance Control During Maximum Forward Reaching.

Human factors
OBJECTIVE: We investigated how light interpersonal touch (IPT) provided by a robotic system supports human individuals performing a challenging balance task compared to IPT provided by a human partner.

Quantifying trunk neuromuscular control using seated balancing and stability threshold.

Journal of biomechanics
Performance during seated balancing is often used to assess trunk neuromuscular control, including evaluating impairments in back pain populations. Balancing in less challenging environments allows for flexibility in control, which may not depend on ...
