Gait and cognition: mapping the global and discrete relationships in ageing and neurodegenerative disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Recent research highlights the association of gait and cognition in older adults but a stronger understanding is needed to discern coincident pathophysiology, patterns of change, examine underlying mechanisms and aid diagnosis.

Recurrent internal hip rotation gait in cerebral palsy: Case reports of two patients [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

open access: yesHRB Open Research, 2019
Internal hip rotation in cerebral palsy (CP) is typically treated with a femoral derotation osteotomy. This has been shown to be largely a successful procedure but recurrence rates up to 41% have been reported.

Learning optimised representations for view-invariant gait recognition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Gait recognition can be performed without subject cooperation under harsh conditions, thus it is an important tool in forensic gait analysis, security control, and other commercial applications.

Associations of Circulating Insulin-Growth Factor-1 With Cognitive Functions and Quality of Life Domains in Ambulatory Young Adults With Cerebral Palsy: A Pilot Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2022
ObjectiveAdults with cerebral palsy (CP) often have impaired cognitive functions. CP also has deteriorations in multiple quality-of-life (QoL) domains. The bio-psycho-social health psychology model posits that biological factor interacts with social and ...

Walking in the Absence of Anterior Cruciate Ligament: The Role of the Quadriceps and Hamstrings

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
The actual need for surgical reconstruction of an injured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is still a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to quantify and analyze the knee kinematics and the ligament force redistribution resulting from the ACL ...

Human gait recognition with matrix representation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Human gait is an important biometric feature. It can be perceived from a great distance and has recently attracted greater attention in video-surveillance-related applications, such as closed-circuit television.

Design and Evaluation of the LOPES Exoskeleton Robot for Interactive Gait Rehabilitation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This paper introduces a newly developed gait rehabilitation device. The device, called LOPES, combines a freely translatable and 2-D-actuated pelvis segment with a leg exoskeleton containing three actuated rotational joints: two at the hip and one at the

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 ...

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
