To create products that are better fit for purpose, manufacturers require new methods for gaining insights into product experience in the wild at scale. "Chatty Factories" is a concept that explores the transformative potential of placing IoT-enabled...
Gait disorders represent one of the most disabling aspects in multiple sclerosis (MS) that strongly influence patient quality of life. The improvement of walking ability is a primary goal for rehabilitation treatment. The aim of this study is to eva...
PURPOSE: To identify the short-term effects of robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) on walking distance, gait speed and functionality of cerebral palsy (CP) patients, and to verify if the effects of RAGT are maintained in the long term.
Physical activity has a strong influence on mental and physical health and is essential in healthy ageing and wellbeing for the ever-growing elderly population. Wearable sensors can provide a reliable and economical measure of activities of daily liv...

BACKGROUND: Transfemoral amputation is a serious intervention that alters the locomotion pattern, leading to secondary disorders and reduced quality of life. The outcomes of current gait rehabilitation for TFAs seem to be highly dependent on factors ...
Neuromuscular impairments are frequently observed in patients with chronic neck pain (CNP). This study uniquely investigates whether changes in neck muscle synergies detected during gait are sensitive enough to differentiate between people with and w...
Classification of terrain is a vital component in giving suitable control to a walking assistive device for the various walking conditions. Although surface electromyography (sEMG) signals have been combined with inputs from other sensors to detect w...
To minimize fatigue, sustain workloads, and reduce the risk of injuries, the exoskeleton Carry was developed. Carry combines a soft human-machine interface and soft pneumatic actuation to assist the elbow in load holding and carrying. We hypothesize ...
This study aimed to identify the optimal features of gait parameters to predict the fall risk level in older adults. The study included 746 older adults (age: 63-89 years). Gait tests (20 m walkway) included speed modification (slower, preferred, and...
Considering the trend of aging societies, accompanying technology can help frail, elderly individuals participate in daily activities. The ideal accompanying robot should accompany the user in a proper position according to the activity scenarios and...
