In recent years, real-time health monitoring using wearable sensors has been an active area of research. This paper presents an efficient and low-cost fall detection system based on a pair of shoes equipped with inertial sensors and plantar pressure ...
Ground reaction force (GRF) is essential for estimating muscle strength and joint torque in inverse dynamic analysis. Typically, it is measured using a force plate. However, force plates have spatial limitations, and studies of gaits involve numerous...
BACKGROUND: The knee adduction moment, a biomechanical risk factor of knee osteoarthritis, is typically measured in a gait laboratory with expensive equipment and inverse dynamics modeling software. We aimed to develop a framework for a portable knee...
Fall detection and physical activity (PA) classification are important health maintenance issues for the elderly and people with mobility dysfunctions. The literature review showed that most studies concerning fall detection and PA classification add...
An intelligent insole system may monitor the individual's foot pressure and temperature in real-time from the comfort of their home, which can help capture foot problems in their earliest stages. Constant monitoring for foot complications is essentia...

BACKGROUND: Foot pressure distribution can be used as a quantitative parameter for evaluating anatomical deformity of the foot and for diagnosing and treating pathological gait, falling, and pressure sores in diabetes. The objective of this study was...
Wearable technologies are known to improve our quality of life. Among the various wearable devices, shoes are non-intrusive, lightweight, and can be used for outdoor activities. In this study, we estimated the energy consumption and heart rate in an ...
Inhalation exposure to the resuspended biological particles from public places can cause adverse effects on human health. In this work, carpet dust samples were first collected from twenty example conference and hotel rooms by a vacuum cleaner. A bip...
