Spatial Transformer Network on Skeleton-based Gait Recognition [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Skeleton-based gait recognition models usually suffer from the robustness problem, as the Rank-1 accuracy varies from 90\% in normal walking cases to 70\% in walking with coats cases. In this work, we propose a state-of-the-art robust skeleton-based gait recognition model called Gait-TR, which is based on the combination of spatial transformer ...

Short-term reduction of ankle spasticity after surgical lengthening of the triceps surae in chronic post-stroke patients: a retrospective cohort study

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology
IntroductionIn post-stroke patients with equinovarus foot deformity (EVFD), soft tissue rearrangements may contribute to muscle overactivity when a muscle is stretched or tension is applied.

Phase resetting and intermittent control at critical edge of stability as major mechanisms of fractality in human gait cycle variability [PDF]

open access: yesBiological Cybernetics. 114 (2020) 95-111, 2018
The fractality of human gait, namely, the long-range correlation that characterizes scale-free fluctuations of gait descriptors, such as the stride intervals during steady-state walking, depends on the well-tuned organization of the sensorimotor controller.

Feasibility of designing, manufacturing and delivering 3D printed ankle-foot orthoses: a systematic review

open access: yesJournal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2019
Background Ankle-foot orthoses (AFO) are prescribed to manage difficulty walking due to foot drop, bony foot deformities and poor balance. Traditional AFOs are handmade using thermoplastic vacuum forming which provides limited design options, is labour ...

Geometric Gait Optimization for Inertia-Dominated Systems With Nonzero Net Momentum [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Inertia-dominated mechanical systems can achieve net displacement by 1) periodically changing their shape (known as kinematic gait) and 2) adjusting their inertia distribution to utilize the existing nonzero net momentum (known as momentum gait). Therefore, finding the gait that most effectively utilizes the two types of locomotion in terms of the ...

The swing performance Index: Developing a single-score index of golf swing rotational biomechanics quantified with 3D kinematics

open access: yesFrontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2022
IntroductionGolf swing generates power through coordinated rotations of the pelvis and upper torso, which are highly consistent among professionals. Currently, golf performance is graded on handicap, length-of-shot, and clubhead-speed-at-impact.

Plasticity of muscle synergies through fractionation and merging during development and training of human runners

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Motor commands for human locomotion are generated by combination of muscle synergies. In humans, muscle synergies for running exhibit considerable plasticity during child-to-adult development and adult training to meet the constantly changing ...

Comparison between semitendinosus transfer to distal femur and medial hamstrings surgical lengthening for treatment of flexed knee gait in cerebral palsy

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2020
Purpose: Hamstrings surgical lengthening (HSL) has been frequently used for the treatment of flexed knee gait in cerebral palsy; however, recurrence of knee flexion deformity (KFD) and increase of anterior pelvic tilt (APT) were reported in a long-term ...
