EMG-based lumbosacral joint compression force prediction using a support vector machine.

Medical engineering & physics
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...

Development of an unsupervised machine learning algorithm for the prognostication of walking ability in spinal cord injury patients.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Traumatic spinal cord injury can have a dramatic effect on a patient's life. The degree of neurologic recovery greatly influences a patient's treatment and expected quality of life. This has resulted in the development of machine ...

Using supervised learning machine algorithm to identify future fallers based on gait patterns: A two-year longitudinal study.

Experimental gerontology
INTRODUCTION: Given their major health consequences in the elderly, identifying people at risk of fall is a major challenge faced by clinicians. A lot of studies have confirmed the relationships between gait parameters and falls incidence. However, a...

Fore-aft resistance applied at the center of mass using a novel robotic interface proportionately increases propulsive force generation in healthy nonimpaired individuals walking at a constant speed.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Past studies have utilized external interfaces like resistive bands and motor-generated pulling systems to increase limb propulsion during walking on a motorized treadmill. However, assessing changes in limb propulsion against increasing ...

The effect of using Gait Exercise Assist Robot (GEAR) on gait pattern in stroke patients: a cross-sectional pilot study.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
: The Gait Exercise Assist Robot (GEAR) has been developed to support gait training for stroke patients. The GEAR can assist paretic lower limb swing and stance stability, which make it possible to practice walking without excessive compensation move...

Detection of Human Fall Using Floor Vibration and Multi-Features Semi-Supervised SVM.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Human falls are the premier cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries among older adults. The health outcome of a fall event is largely dependent on rapid response and rescue of the fallen elder. Being able to provide an accurate and fast fall detection w...

Estimation of Vertical Ground Reaction Force Using Low-Cost Insole With Force Plate-Free Learning From Single Leg Stance and Walking.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
For the evaluation of pathological gait, a machine learning-based estimation of the vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) using a low-cost insole is proposed as an alternative to costly force plates. However, learning a model for estimation still rel...

A controller for walking derived from how humans recover from perturbations.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Humans can walk without falling despite some external perturbations, but the control mechanisms by which this stability is achieved have not been fully characterized. While numerous walking simulations and robots have been constructed, no full-state ...

Capture Point-Based Controller Using Real-Time Zero Moment Point Manipulation for Stable Bipedal Walking in Human Environment.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
For collaboration of humans and bipedal robots in human environments, this paper proposes a stability control method for dynamically modifiable bipedal walking using a capture point (CP) tracking controller. A reasonable reference CP trajectory for t...

The linkage between the perception of neighbourhood and physical activity in Guangzhou, China: using street view imagery with deep learning techniques.

International journal of health geographics
BACKGROUND: Neighbourhood environment characteristics have been found to be associated with residents' willingness to conduct physical activity (PA). Traditional methods to assess perceived neighbourhood environment characteristics are often subjecti...
