INTRODUCTION: This study, based on Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and multi-source data, aims to construct an interpretable macro-scale analytical framework to explore the factors influencing urban physical activities. Using 290 prefecture-...
BACKGROUND: This study leverages Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to predict lower limb joint moments and electromyography (EMG) signals from Ground Reaction Forces (GRF), providing a novel perspective on human gait analysis. This approach aims to e...
In recent years, exoskeleton robots have attracted great interest from researchers in the area of robotics due to their ability to assist human functionality improvement. A wearable lower limb exoskeleton is aimed at supporting the limb functionality...

Lateral walking gait phase recognition and prediction are the premise of hip exoskeleton application in lateral resistance walk exercise. We presented a fusion network with stacked denoise autoencoder and meta learning (SDA-NN-ML) to recognize gait p...
Abnormal locomotor patterns may occur in case of either motor damages or neurological conditions, thus potentially jeopardizing an individual's safety. Pathological gait recognition (PGR) is a research field that aims to discriminate among different ...
Early detection of Parkinson's disease (PD) and accurate assessment of disease progression are critical for optimizing treatment and rehabilitation. However, there is no consensus on how to effectively detect early-stage PD and classify motor symptom...
BACKGROUND: The main key to the 4th industrial era is robots, and wearable robots are incorporated into human healthcare. Samsung Electronics' Bot Fit is a hip joint-centered assistive robot that can induce walking posture and energetic walking exerc...
Mobility tasks like the Timed Up and Go test (TUG), cognitive TUG (cogTUG), and walking with turns provide insights into the impact of Parkinson's disease (PD) on motor control, balance, and cognitive function. We assess the test-retest reliability o...
Exoskeletons offer promising solutions for improving human mobility, but a key challenge is ensuring the controller adapts to changing walking conditions. We present an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven universal exoskeleton system that dynamically...
