OBJECTIVE: This article aims to design, manufacture and evaluate an active insole to reduce plantar tissue loading to minimise the risk of diabetic foot ulceration for people living with diabetes.
Left-turn slip lanes, also known as channelised right-turn lanes in right-hand driving countries, are widely implemented to facilitate left-turning at signalised intersections. However, pedestrian safety on slip lanes is not well known. At unsignalis...
BACKGROUND: Two-thirds of people aged 65 years and older may require help with daily activities such as eating, bathing, and getting in and out of bed or a chair. Walking-assist wearable robots have shown significant improvements in physical function...
Anomaly Detection (AD) in pedestrian walkways is significant in urban safety and security methods. It is generally employed for perceiving unusual or abnormal situations, behaviours, or actions in regions devoted to pedestrian traffic, like pedestria...

RATIONALE: Walking difficulties are common after a stroke. During rehabilitation, electromechanical and robotic gait-training devices can help improve walking. As the evidence and certainty of the evidence may have changed since our last update in 20...
The beam walk is widely used to study coordination and balance in rodents. While the task has ethological validity, the main endpoints of "foot slip counts" and "time to cross" are prone to human-rater variability and offer limited sensitivity and sp...
