This paper describes our efforts to employ the Microsoft Kinect as a low cost vision control system for the MIT-Skywalker, a robotic gait rehabilitation device. The Kinect enables an alternative markerless solution to control the MIT-Skywalker and al...
The processes underlying the generation of motor adaptation in response to mechanical perturbations during human walking have been subject to debate. We used a robotic system to apply mechanical perturbations to step length and step height over conse...
