Specific Instructions Are Important: A Cross-sectional Study on Device Parameters and Instruction Types While Walking With a Robot in Children and Adolescents.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to evaluate how gait kinematics and muscle activity during robot-assisted gait training are affected by different combinations of parameter settings and a number of instruction types, ranging from no instructions to...

The Walking Control of a Crab Biorobot in Amphibious Environment.

Soft robotics
This article describes development of a crab biorobot that is capable of traversing diverse environments including both land and water. We have transformed a living rainbow crab into a walking biorobot by attaching wireless controller. An anatomical ...

Real-World Balance Assessment While Standing for Fall Prediction in Older Adults.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Postural control naturally declines with age, leading to an increased risk of falling. Within clinical settings, the deployment of balance assessments has become commonplace, facilitating the identification of postural instability and targ...

Perceptions of vulnerable roadway users on autonomous vehicle regulations.

Journal of safety research
INTRODUCTION: Development and implementation of autonomous vehicle (AV) related regulations are necessary to ensure safe AV deployment and wide acceptance among all roadway users. Assessment of vulnerable roadway users' perceptions on AV regulations ...

StairNet: visual recognition of stairs for human-robot locomotion.

Biomedical engineering online
Human-robot walking with prosthetic legs and exoskeletons, especially over complex terrains, such as stairs, remains a significant challenge. Egocentric vision has the unique potential to detect the walking environment prior to physical interactions,...

Low-force human-human hand interactions induce gait changes through sensorimotor engagement instead of direct mechanical effects.

Scientific reports
Physical human-robot interactions (pHRI) often provide mechanical force and power to aid walking without requiring voluntary effort from the human. Alternatively, principles of physical human-human interactions (pHHI) can inspire pHRI that aids walki...

Gait Characterization in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Using a Single-Sensor Accelerometer: Classical Machine Learning and Deep Learning Approaches.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Differences in gait patterns of children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and typically developing (TD) peers are visible to the eye, but quantifications of those differences outside of the gait laboratory have been elusive. In this work, we me...

Classification of human walking context using a single-point accelerometer.

Scientific reports
Real-world walking data offers rich insights into a person's mobility. Yet, daily life variations can alter these patterns, making the data challenging to interpret. As such, it is essential to integrate context for the extraction of meaningful infor...

On the relation between gait speed and gait cycle duration for walking on even ground.

Journal of biomechanics
Gait models and reference motions are essential for the objective assessment of walking patterns and therapy progress, as well as research in the field of wearable robotics and rehabilitation devices in general. A human can achieve a desired gait spe...

Robotic Leg Prosthesis: A Survey From Dynamic Model to Adaptive Control for Gait Coordination.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Gait coordination (GC), meaning that one leg moves in the same pattern but with a specific phase lag to the other, is a spontaneous behavior in the walking of a healthy person. It is also crucial for unilateral amputees with the robotic leg prosthesi...
