Fall-related functional impairments in patients with neurological gait disorder [PDF]
AbstractFalls are common in patients with neurological disorders and are a primary cause of injuries. Nonetheless, fall-associated gait characteristics are poorly understood in these patients. Objective, quantitative gait analysis is an important tool to identify the principal fall-related motor characteristics and to advance fall prevention in ...

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

Gait, mobility, and falls in older people [PDF]
My doctoral thesis contributes to the understanding of gait, mobility, and falls in older people. All presented projects investigated the most prominent and sensitive markers for fall-related gait changes, that is gait velocity and gait variability ...

Principles of pathological gait [PDF]
Summary: Walking for healthy humans is a basic everyday activity. In patients, especially those with neurologic disorders, the walking pattern can strongly deviate from those of healthy humans.

[Gait disorders due to neurological conditions]. [PDF]
Gait disorders are seen frequently and often have a neurological cause. The clinical management of patients presenting with a gait disorder is often complicated due to the large number of diseases that can cause a gait disorder and to the difficulties in interpreting a specific gait disorder properly. In addition, the currently available classification

Gait Variability to Phenotype Common Orthopedic Gait Impairments Using Wearable Sensors
Mobility impairments are a common symptom of age-related degenerative diseases. Gait features can discriminate those with mobility disorders from healthy individuals, yet phenotyping specific pathologies remains challenging.

Independent domains of daily mobility in patients with neurological gait disorders [PDF]
AbstractThe aim of this study was to establish a comprehensive and yet parsimonious model of daily mobility activity in patients with neurological gait disorders. Patients (N = 240) with early-stage neurological (peripheral vestibular, cerebellar, hypokinetic, vascular or functional) gait disorders and healthy controls (N = 35) were clinically assessed

Robust gait recognition under variable covariate conditions [PDF]
PhDGait is a weak biometric when compared to face, fingerprint or iris because it can be easily affected by various conditions. These are known as the covariate conditions and include clothing, carrying, speed, shoes and view among others.

The Untapped Potential of Virtual Reality in Rehabilitation of Balance and Gait in Neurological Disorders [PDF]
Dynamic systems theory transformed our understanding of motor control by recognizing the continual interaction between the organism and the environment. Movement could no longer be visualized simply as a response to a pattern of stimuli or as a demonstration of prior intent; movement is context dependent and is continuously reshaped by the ongoing ...
