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.

Individualized reference gait patterns for lower limb rehabilitation robots can greatly improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation. However, previous methods can only generate customized gait patterns at several fixed discrete walking speeds and gen...
Human body measurement data related to walking can characterize functional movement and thereby become an important tool for health assessment. Single-camera-captured two-dimensional (2D) image sequences of marker-less walking individuals might be a ...
This study aimed to identify the optimal features of gait parameters to predict the fall risk level in older adults. The study included 746 older adults (age: 63-89 years). Gait tests (20 m walkway) included speed modification (slower, preferred, and...

BACKGROUND: Walking with a haptic tensile force applied to the hand in a virtual environment (VE) can induce adaptation effects in both chronic stroke and non-stroke individuals. These effects are reflected in spatiotemporal outcomes such as gait spe...

BACKGROUND: Lokomat therapy for gait rehabilitation has become increasingly popular. Most evidence suggests that Lokomat therapy is equally effective as but not superior to standard therapy approaches. One reason might be that the Lokomat parameters ...

BACKGROUND: Mobility limitation in older adults is common and associated with poor health outcomes and loss of independence. Identification of at-risk individuals remains challenging because of time-consuming clinical assessments and limitations of s...
