Once we learn a reliable gait, we no longer have to consciously contract individual muscles to walk, or think about the fine-grained low-level control of our joints. Instead, we mainly make decisions on where we want to end up, at what pace and throu...
Early detection of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is essential to improve treatment outcomes and reduce its long-term impact. However, early diagnosis of KOA (EKOA) remains difficult due to the absence of standardised criteria and the subtle or intermitte...
BACKGROUND: The worldwide rise in dementia creates an urgent need for screening methods that are both sensitive and easy to administer. Dual-task walking-requiring people to walk while performing a second cognitive or motor task-meets these criteria ...
The accurate identification of locomotion states from wearable sensor data using machine learning relies heavily on carefully selecting algorithm parameters, which remains a challenging task. This study systematically optimised key parameters-includi...
Mobility impairments and increased fall risk are common in multiple sclerosis (MS), resulting from myelin degradation in motor pathways. While forward walking is a common mobility assessment, backward walking shows greater sensitivity in distinguishi...
BACKGROUND: Stroke incidence rises with age. A stroke can severely affect walking ability, requiring therapy. Robot-assisted walking therapy (ROB) has been advocated as one form of walking rehabilitation in stroke patients. However, its comparative e...
BACKGROUND: Active commuting, such as skateboarding and kickboarding, is gaining popularity as an alternative to traditional modes of transportation such as walking and cycling. However, current activity trackers and smartphones, which rely on accele...
The overall goal of this study was to develop a computational framework to quantify hip, knee, and ankle joint forces during exoskeletal-assisted walking (EAW) in the ReWalk P6.0, an FDA-approved lower-extremity exoskeleton. The first objective was t...
The accurate smartphone-based pedestrian navigation significantly depends on the precise heading estimation. However, heading estimation is still a challenging problem in most pedestrian navigation applications because of the bias of low-cost smartph...
INTRODUCTION: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a traumatic head injury that can lead to gait-related disabilities, and exoskeleton training may be beneficial for the recovery of this function in these patients. The objective of this study is to determ...
