Background In the past decade, there has been substantial progress in the development of
robotic controllers that specify how lower-limb exoskeletons should interact with brain …

Gait symmetry is important in measuring gait pattern alterations for establishing the level of
functional limitation due to pathology, observing its changes over time and evaluating …

This paper investigates the ability of a single wireless inertial sensing device stuck on the
lower trunk to provide spatial-temporal parameters during level walking. The 3-axial …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting cognitive
and functional abilities. However, many patients presume lower cognitive or functional …

PURPOSE: To investigate the reliability of a 3D-accelerometry based gait analysis, and its
correlates with clinical status and fall-risk. METHODS: Forty elderly subjects presenting with …

Background Abnormal mechanics of locomotion following lower-extremity amputation are
associated with increases in trunk motion, which in turn may alter loads at the low back due …

Typically impedance control parameters (eg, stiffness and dam**) in powered lower limb
prostheses are fine-tuned by human experts (HMEs), which is time and resource intensive …

Small wireless trunk accelerometers have become a popular approach to unobtrusively
quantify human locomotion and provide insights into both gait rehabilitation and sports …

This paper presents the development of a wearable accelerometry system for real-time gait
cycle parameter recognition. Using a tri-axial accelerometer, the wearable motion detector is …

PURPOSE: To investigate the capacity of a single triaxial accelerometer sensor in detecting
gait and balance impairments in pre-manifest and manifest Huntington's disease (HD) …
