A novel experimental setup for evaluating the stiffness of ankle foot orthoses

BMC Research Notes, 2018
Objective The purpose of this study was the construction of a new semi-automated experimental setup for the evaluation of the stiffness of ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) around an axis aligned to the anatomical ankle joint during the second rocker of the ...

Improving gait biometrics under spoofing attacks [PDF]

, 2013
Gait is a relatively new biometric modality which has a precious advantage over other modalities, such as iris and voice, in that it can be easily captured from a distance.

Markerless Feature Extraction for Gait Analysis

, 2006
Human motion analysis has received a great attention from researchers in the last decade due to its potential use in different applications. We propose a new approach to extract human joints (Vertex positions)using a model-based method.

Automatic Gait Recognition by Symmetry Analysis

, 2001
We describe a new method for automatic gait recognition based on analysing the symmetry of human motion, by using the Generalised Symmetry Operator. This operator, rather than relying on the borders of a shape or on general appearance, locates features ...

Self-reported gait unsteadiness in mildly impaired neurological patients: an objective assessment through statistical gait analysis [PDF]

, 2012
Background Self-reported gait unsteadiness is often a problem in neurological patients without any clinical evidence of ataxia, because it leads to reduced activity and limitations in function.

Automated markerless analysis of human gait motion for recognition and classification

, 2011
We present a new method for an automated markerless system to describe, analyze, and classify human gait motion. The automated system consists of three stages: i) detection and extraction of the moving human body and its contour from image sequences, ii)

Covariate Analysis for View-point Independent Gait Recognition

, 2009
Many studies have shown that gait can be deployed as a biometric. Few of these have addressed the effects of view-point and covariate factors on the recognition process.
