Intelligent Gait Analysis and Evaluation System Based on Cane Robot.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Gait analysis and evaluation are vital for disease diagnosis and rehabilitation. Current gait analysis technologies require wearable devices or high-resolution vision systems within a limited usage space. To facilitate gait analysis and quantitative ...

Deep Learning-Based Energy Expenditure Estimation in Assisted and Non-Assisted Gait Using Inertial, EMG, and Heart Rate Wearable Sensors.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Energy expenditure is a key rehabilitation outcome and is starting to be used in robotics-based rehabilitation through human-in-the-loop control to tailor robot assistance towards reducing patients’ energy effort. However, it is usually assessed by i...

Feasibility and efficacy of TouchCare system using application for older adults living alone: a pilot pre-experimental study.

BMC geriatrics
BACKGROUND: With the number of older people living alone continuously rising, health-monitoring systems using information and communication technology (ICT) have been developed to manage their health issues. Life logging and human body communication ...

A deep-learning approach for automatically detecting gait-events based on foot-marker kinematics in children with cerebral palsy-Which markers work best for which gait patterns?

PloS one
Neuromotor pathologies often cause motor deficits and deviations from typical locomotion, reducing the quality of life. Clinical gait analysis is used to effectively classify these motor deficits to gain deeper insights into resulting walking behavio...

Optimal planar leg geometry in robots and crabs for idealized rocky terrain.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Natural terrain is uneven so it may be beneficial to grasp onto the depressions or 'valleys' between obstacles when walking over such a surface. To examine how leg geometry influences walking across obstacles with valleys, we (1) modeled the performa...

Get a grip: inward dactyl motions improve efficiency of sideways-walking gait for an amphibious crab-like robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Crabs are adept at traversing natural terrains that are challenging for mobile robots. Curved dactyls are a characteristic feature that engage terrain in order to resist wave forces in surf zones. Inward gripping motions at the onset of the stance co...

Biomechanical and Physiological Evaluation of Biologically-Inspired Hip Assistance With Belt-Type Soft Exosuits.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Hip-assisted soft exosuits have been reported for their effect on reducing the metabolic power of human walking. Currently, most studies focus on uni-directional assistance (HF: hip flexion, or HE: hip extension). This paper investigates the effect o...

Toward Safe Wearer-Prosthesis Interaction: Evaluation of Gait Stability and Human Compensation Strategy Under Faults in Robotic Transfemoral Prostheses.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Although advanced wearable robots can assist human wearers, their internal faults (i.e., sensors or control errors) also pose a challenge. To ensure safe wearer-robot interactions, how internal errors by the prosthesis limb affect the stability of th...

Spontaneous gait phase synchronization of human to a wheeled mobile robot with replicating gait-induced upper body oscillating motion.

Scientific reports
Synchronization between humans is often observed in our daily lives, for example in breathing, in hand clapping in crowds, and in walking. It has been reported that pedestrian gait synchronization maximizes walking flow efficiency. As increasingly mo...

Using Deep Learning to Predict Minimum Foot-Ground Clearance Event from Toe-Off Kinematics.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Efficient, adaptive, locomotor function is critically important for maintaining our health and independence, but falls-related injuries when walking are a significant risk factor, particularly for more vulnerable populations such as older people and ...
