A Preliminary Usability Evaluation of an Artificial Intelligence-Based, Motion-Detecting Wearable Device: The Geriatric Functional Assessment System.

The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences
BACKGROUND: Physical function is a key determinant of independence among older adults. Yet, there are barriers to assessing physical function in clinic. We developed a wearable geriatric functional assessment system (GFAS) that quickly and effortless...

Walking Speed and Uncertainty Estimation Using Mixture Density Networks for Dynamic Ambulatory Environments.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Walking speed, often considered a representative indicator of activity levels, becomes notably reduced as muscle strength and cardiovascular function decline with aging. Wearable walking rehabilitation devices aim to alleviate the effort during walki...

Individualized Three-Dimensional Gait Pattern Generator for Lower Limbs Rehabilitation Robots.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In the field of robotic gait rehabilitation, controlling robotic devices to follow specific human-like trajectories is often required. In recent years, various gait generator models have been proposed, providing customized gait patterns adjustable to...

Predicting Future Mobility Limitation in Older Adults: A Machine Learning Analysis of Health ABC Study Data.

The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences
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...

The effectiveness of a novel cable-driven gait trainer (Robowalk) combined with conventional physiotherapy compared to conventional physiotherapy alone following stroke: a randomised controlled trial.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
There is increasing interest in gait training devices to improve walking ability in people following stroke. This randomised controlled trial aimed to compare the effectiveness of the Robowalk, a novel cable-driven gait trainer combined with conventi...

Effect of reducing assistance during robot-assisted gait training on step length asymmetry in patients with hemiplegic stroke: A randomized controlled pilot trial.

Medicine
BACKGROUND: An assist-as-needed robot-assisted gait training protocol was recently developed. It allows active movement during training, but its exact criteria remain unknown. Asymmetric step length is a common abnormal gait pattern in hemiplegic str...

Toward goal-oriented robotic gait training: The effect of gait speed and stride length on lower extremity joint torques.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robot-assisted gait training is becoming increasingly common to support recovery of walking function after neurological injury. How to formulate controllers capable of promoting desired features in gait, i.e. goals, is complicated by the limited unde...

Intensive seated robotic training of the ankle in patients with chronic stroke differentially improves gait.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic driven treatment plans targeting isolated joints of the upper limb have improved the sensorimotor condition of patients with stroke. Similar intensive efforts to allay lower limb gait impairment have not been so successful. In pat...
