Gait Analysis in Coxarthrosis.
The Kurume Medical Journal, 1999 I report the results from gait analysis for coxarthrotic patients using a ground reaction force plate and a three-dimensional motion analysis system. Twenty-seven coxarthrotic patients, and 9 healthy females as controls, participated in this study. The waveform of the ground reaction force and the joint moment during the stance phase were evaluated ...

Explainable Machine Learning in Human Gait Analysis: A Study on Children With Cerebral Palsy
IEEE Access, 2023 This work investigates the effectiveness of various machine learning (ML) methods in classifying human gait patterns associated with cerebral palsy (CP) and examines the clinical relevance of the learned features using explainability approaches.

Exoskeleton therapy in cerebral palsy: improved gait endurance without kinematic change
Frontiers in Human NeuroscienceIntroductionCerebral palsy (CP) often leads to impairments in movement and posture, limiting functional mobility. Robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) using powered exoskeletons has emerged as a novel approach to enhance gait in individuals with CP ...
