Gait Graph Optimization: Generate Variable Gaits from One Base Gait for Lower-limb Rehabilitation Exoskeleton Robots [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
The most concentrated application of lower-limb rehabilitation exoskeleton (LLE) robot is that it can help paraplegics "re-walk". However, "walking" in daily life is more than just walking on flat ground with fixed gait. This paper focuses on variable gaits generation for LLE robot to adapt complex walking environment.

Learning Quadruped Locomotion Policies using Logical Rules [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Quadruped animals are capable of exhibiting a diverse range of locomotion gaits. While progress has been made in demonstrating such gaits on robots, current methods rely on motion priors, dynamics models, or other forms of extensive manual efforts. People can use natural language to describe dance moves.

Short-term effects of foot surgery on walking-related pain, function, and satisfaction in patients with Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease: a prospective cohort study

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology
IntroductionPatients with Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT) often suffer from walking-related pain (WRP), muscle weakness, foot deformities, and reduced ankle dorsiflexion (DF), which affects their ability to walk and daily activities. Functional surgery

Towards a Deeper Understanding of Skeleton-based Gait Recognition [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Gait recognition is a promising biometric with unique properties for identifying individuals from a long distance by their walking patterns. In recent years, most gait recognition methods used the person's silhouette to extract the gait features. However, silhouette images can lose fine-grained spatial information, suffer from (self) occlusion, and be ...

Postural transitions detection and characterization in healthy and patient populations using a single waist sensor

open access: yesJournal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2020
Background Sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transitions are frequent daily functional tasks indicative of muscle power and balance performance. Monitoring these postural transitions with inertial sensors provides an objective tool to assess mobility in both

The effect of aquatic high intensity interval training on cardiometabolic and physical health markers in women: A systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesJournal of Exercise Science & Fitness, 2022
Background/Objectives: We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effect of Aquatic High Intensity Interval Training (AHIIT) on cardiometabolic and physical health markers in women. Methods: Systematic search used 7

Is Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease a Result of Multiple Gait Impairments? Implications for Treatment

open access: yesParkinson's Disease, 2012
Several gait impairments have been associated with freezing of gait (FOG) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). These include deteriorations in rhythm control, gait symmetry, bilateral coordination of gait, dynamic postural control and step scaling.

Person Identification from Partial Gait Cycle Using Fully Convolutional Neural Network [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Gait as a biometric property for person identification plays a key role in video surveillance and security applications. In gait recognition, normally, gait feature such as Gait Energy Image (GEI) is extracted from one full gait cycle. However in many circumstances, such a full gait cycle might not be available due to occlusion.

Persistent-homology-based gait recognition [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Gait recognition is an important biometric technique for video surveillance tasks, due to the advantage of using it at distance. In this paper, we present a persistent homology-based method to extract topological features (the so-called {\it topological gait signature}) from the the body silhouettes of a gait sequence.

Analysis of Gait-Event-related Brain Potentials During Instructed And Spontaneous Treadmill Walking -- Technical Affordances and used Methods [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
To improve the understanding of human gait and to facilitate novel developments in gait rehabilitation, the neural correlates of human gait as measured by means of non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG) have been investigated recently. Particularly, gait-related event-related brain potentials (gERPs) may provide information about the functional role
