Robotic gait training may improve overground ambulation for individuals with poor control over pelvic motion. However, there is a need for an overground gait training robotic device that allows full control of pelvic movement and synchronizes applied...
In this paper, the useability of feedforward and recurrent neural networks for fusion of data from impulse-radar sensors and depth sensors, in the context of healthcare-oriented monitoring of elderly persons, is investigated. Two methods of data fusi...
Human-robot collaboration is one of the most challenging fields in robotics, as robots must understand human intentions and suitably cooperate with them in the given circumstances. But although this is one of the most investigated research areas in r...

BACKGROUND: Few, if any estimates of cost-effectiveness for locomotor training strategies following spinal cord injury (SCI) are available. The purpose of this study was to estimate the cost-effectiveness of locomotor training strategies following sp...
Bioengineering approaches that combine living cellular components with three-dimensional scaffolds to generate motion can be used to develop a new generation of miniature robots. Integrating on-board electronics and remote control in these biological...
BACKGROUND: The knee adduction moment, a biomechanical risk factor of knee osteoarthritis, is typically measured in a gait laboratory with expensive equipment and inverse dynamics modeling software. We aimed to develop a framework for a portable knee...
