BACKGROUND: Technology-assisted gait training (TAGT) with body weight support (BWS) has been designed to provide high numbers of repetitions during stepping practice, but its benefits have been inconclusive.
This study investigated whether using an inertial measurement unit (IMU) can identify different walking conditions, including level walking (LW), descent (DC) and ascent (AC) slope walking as well as downstairs (DS) and upstairs (US) walking. Thirty ...

It is well known that most patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) have different degree of movement disorders, such as shuffling, festination and akinetic episodes, which could degenerate the life quality of PD patients. Therefore, it is very useful ...
PURPOSE: To examine physiological responses and perceived exertion during robot-assisted treadmill walking in non-ambulatory stroke survivors; compare these outcomes with aerobic exercise recommendations; and investigate the effect of robotic assista...
Research on a terrain-blind walking control that can walk stably on unknown and uneven terrain is an important research field for humanoid robots to achieve human-level walking abilities, and it is still a field that needs much improvement. This pape...
Electromyography-assisted optimization (EMGAO) approach is widely used to predict lumbar joint loads under various dynamic and static conditions. However, such approach uses numerous anthropometric, kinematic, kinetic, and electromyographic data in t...
