Vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) can be measured by force plates or instrumented treadmills, but their application is limited to indoor environments. Insoles remove this restriction but suffer from low durability (several hundred hours). Therefo...
This article reports our study on a reduced adaptive fuzzy decoupling control for our lower limb exoskeleton system which typically is a multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) uncertain nonlinear system. To show the applicability and generality of the propo...
Previous studies have shown that functional mobility, along with other physical functions, decreases with advanced age. However, it is still unclear which domains of functioning (body structures, body functions, and activities) are most closely relat...
Gait patterns are a result of the complex kinematics that enable human two-legged locomotion, and they can reveal a lot about a person's state and health. Analysing them is useful for researchers to get new insights into the course of diseases, and f...
Pain is an undesirable sensory experience that can induce depression and limit individuals' activities of daily living, in turn negatively impacting the labor force. Affected people frequently feel pain during activity; however, pain is subjective an...

We sought to evaluate the effects of the application of torque pulses to the hip and knee joint via a robotic exoskeleton in the context of training propulsion during walking. Based on our previous study, we formulated a set of conditions of torque p...
Human muscle fatigue is the main result of diminishing muscle capability, leading to reduced performance and increased risk of falls and injury. This study provides a classification model to identify the human fatigue level based on the motion signal...
GOAL: To develop and validate a field-based data collection and assessment method for human activity recognition in the mountains with variations in terrain and fatigue using a single accelerometer and a deep learning model.
The difficulty of estimating joint kinematics remains a critical barrier toward widespread use of inertial measurement units in biomechanics. Traditional sensor-fusion filters are largely reliant on magnetometer readings, which may be disturbed in un...
What is the role of errors in infants' acquisition of basic skills such as walking, skills that require immense amounts of practice to become flexible and generative? Do infants change their behaviors based on negative feedback from errors, as sugges...
