This study examined the effectiveness of a vision-based framework for multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson's disease (PD) gait dysfunction prediction. We collected gait video data from multi-view digital cameras during self-paced walking from MS, PD...
Biped robots have attracted increasing attention because of their flexible movement and strong adaptability to the surroundings. However, the small output torque and the weak impact resistance of the motor drive, as well as the large energy consumpti...
Neuromodulation via spinal stimulation has been investigated for improving motor function and reducing spasticity after spinal cord injury (SCI) in humans. Despite the reported heterogeneity of outcomes, few investigations have attempted to discern c...
Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) provides a task-based support of walking using exoskeletons. Evidence shows moderate, but positive effects in the therapy of patients with cerebral palsy (CP). This study investigates the impact of RAGT on walking ...
BACKGROUND: Motor, gait and balance disorders reduce functional capabilities for activities of daily living in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Robot-assisted gait therapy (RAGT) is being used to complement conventional therapy (CT) or treadmill th...
Regardless of recent advances, humanoid robots still face significant difficulties in performing locomotion tasks. Among the key challenges that must be addressed to achieve robust bipedal locomotion are dynamically consistent motion planning, feedba...
The article describes the problem of geometric synthesis of the inspection robot suspension system, designed for operation in difficult conditions with the presence of scattered obstacles. The exemplary application of a mine infrastructure inspection...

Unusual walk patterns may increase individuals' risks of falling. Anthropometric features of the human body, such as the body mass index (BMI), influences the walk patterns of individuals. In addition to the BMI, uneven walking surfaces may cause var...
New 'big data' streams such as street-level imagery are offering unprecedented possibilities for developing health-relevant data on the urban environment. Urban environmental features derived from street-level imagery have been used to assess pedestr...
