Unsupervised learning for real-time and continuous gait phase detection.

PloS one
Individuals with lower limb impairment after a stroke or spinal cord injury require rehabilitation, but traditional methods can be challenging for both patients and therapists. Robotic systems have been developed to help; however, they currently cann...

Nature's All-in-One: Multitasking Robots Inspired by Dung Beetles.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Dung beetles impressively coordinate their 6 legs to effectively roll large dung balls. They can also roll dung balls varying in the weight on different terrains. The mechanisms underlying how their motor commands are adapted to walk and simultaneous...

Multi-Activity Step Counting Algorithm Using Deep Learning Foot Flat Detection with an IMU Inside the Sole of a Shoe.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Step counting devices were previously shown to be efficient in a variety of applications such as athletic training or patient's care programs. Various sensor placements and algorithms were previously experimented, with a best mean absolute percentage...

Convolutional neural network based detection of early stage Parkinson's disease using the six minute walk test.

Scientific reports
The heterogeneity of Parkinson's disease (PD) presents considerable challenges for accurate diagnosis, particularly during early-stage disease, when the symptoms may be extremely subtle. This study aimed to assess the accuracy of a convolutional neur...

Estimating intra- and inter-subject oxygen consumption in outdoor human gait using multiple neural network approaches.

PloS one
Oxygen consumption ([Formula: see text]) is an important measure for exercise test, such as walking and running, that can be measured outdoors using portable spirometers or metabolic analyzers. However, these devices are not feasible for regular use ...

Early Detection of Parkinson's Disease Using Deep NeuroEnhanceNet With Smartphone Walking Recordings.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
With the development of digital medical technology, ubiquitous smartphones are emerging as valuable tools for the detection of complex and elusive diseases. This paper exploits smartphone walking recording for early detection of Parkinson's disease (...

Virtual Obstacle Avoidance Strategy: Navigating through a Complex Environment While Interacting with Virtual and Physical Elements.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Robotic walking devices can be used for intensive exercises to enhance gait rehabilitation therapies. Mixed Reality (MR) techniques may improve engagement through immersive and interactive environments. This article introduces an MR-based multimodal ...

Comparison of feed-forward control strategies for simplified vertical hopping model with intrinsic muscle properties.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
To analyse walking, running or hopping motions, models with high degrees of freedom are usually used. However simple reductionist models are advantageous within certain limits. In a simple manner, the hopping motion is generally modelled by a spring-...

Prediction of poststroke independent walking using machine learning: a retrospective study.

BMC neurology
BACKGROUND: Accurately predicting the walking independence of stroke patients is important. Our objective was to determine and compare the performance of logistic regression (LR) and three machine learning models (eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost),...

Machine Learning Based Abnormal Gait Classification with IMU Considering Joint Impairment.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Gait analysis systems are critical for assessing motor function in rehabilitation and elderly care. This study aimed to develop and optimize an abnormal gait classification algorithm considering joint impairments using inertial measurement units (IMU...
