The analysis of human locomotion is highly dependent on the quantity and quality of available data to obtain reliable evidence, due to the great variability of gait characteristics between subjects. Researchers usually have to make significant effort...
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a neural network to estimate hip contact forces (HCF), and lower body kinematics and kinetics during walking in individuals with hip osteoarthritis (OA) using synthesised anatomical key points and electromyography. ...

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...
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 ...

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...
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 ...
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,...
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...
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...
