Study of human walking patterns based on the parameter optimization of a passive dynamic walking robot.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: The study of human walking patterns mainly focuses on how control affects walking because control schemes are considered to be dominant in human walking.

Design and control of a pneumatic musculoskeletal biped robot.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Pneumatic artificial muscles are quite promising actuators for humanoid robots owing to their similar characteristics with human muscles. Moreover, biologically inspired musculoskeletal systems are particularly important for humanoid robo...

[NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN NEURO-REHABILITATION: ROBOT MEDIATED THERAPY IN CONDITONS POST CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM IMPAIRMENTS].

Ideggyogyaszati szemle
Decreasing the often-seen multiple disabilities as a consequence of central nervous system impairments requires broadening of the tools of rehabilitation. A promising opportunity for this purpose is the application of physiotherapy robots. The develo...

Biomechanics of Step Initiation After Balance Recovery With Implications for Humanoid Robot Locomotion.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
Balance-recovery stepping is often necessary for both a human and humanoid robot to avoid a fall by taking a single step or multiple steps after an external perturbation. The determination of where to step to come to a complete stop has been studied,...

Robot-assisted gait training versus treadmill training in patients with Parkinson's disease: a kinematic evaluation with gait profile score.

Functional neurology
The purpose of this study was to quantitatively compare the effects, on walking performance, of end-effector robotic rehabilitation locomotor training versus intensive training with a treadmill in Parkinson's disease (PD). Fifty patients with PD were...

Classification of Movement of People with Parkinsons Disease Using Wearable Inertial Movement Units and Machine Learning.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In this work, inertial movement units were placed on people with Parkinsons disease (PwPD) who subsequently performed a standard test of walking endurance (six-minute walk test - 6MWT). Five devices were placed on each the limbs and small of the back...

Best facilitated cortical activation during different stepping, treadmill, and robot-assisted walking training paradigms and speeds: A functional near-infrared spectroscopy neuroimaging study.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted and treadmill-gait training are promising neurorehabilitation techniques, with advantages over conventional gait training, but the neural substrates underpinning locomotor control remain unknown particularly during differen...

Gait Analysis Using a Support Vector Machine for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis.

Orthopedics
Lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSS) is diagnosed based on physical examination and radiological documentation of lumbar spinal canal narrowing. Differential diagnosis of the level of lumbar radiculopathy is difficult in multilevel spinal stenosis. The...
