Balance and gait adaptations in patients with early knee osteoarthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Gait adaptations in people with severe knee osteoarthritis (OA) have been well documented, with increased knee adduction moments (KAM) the most commonly reported parameter.

Gait Stability and Its Influencing Factors in Older Adults

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2019
A stable gait pattern is a prerequisite to successfully master various activities of daily living. Furthermore, reduced gait stability is associated with a higher risk of falling.

Instrumenting gait with an accelerometer: A system and algorithm examination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Gait is an important clinical assessment tool since changes in gait may reflect changes in general health. Measurement of gait is a complex process which has been restricted to the laboratory until relatively recently.

View Invariant Gait Recognition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Recognition by gait is of particular interest since it is the biometric that is available at the lowest resolution, or when other biometrics are (intentionally) obscured. Gait as a biometric has now shown increasing recognition capability. There are many

Improving Gait Balance of the Blind During Robot-Assisted Guidance by Providing Static External Reference

open access: yesIEEE Access
The gait of blind individuals is characterized by reduced gait stability and postural balance due to their limited sensory information. However, existing systems focus on guidance capability rather than improving gait stability and postural balance ...

Gait Stability Under Hip Exoskeleton Assistance: A Phase-Dependent Analysis Using Gait Tube Methodology

open access: yesApplied Sciences
This study aimed to evaluate how wearable hip exoskeleton assistance affects phase-dependent gait stability in healthy adults using a novel visualization technique known as gait tube analysis. Hip exoskeletons offer significant potential to enhance human

Anteroposterior stability: A determinant of gait dysfunction and falls in spinocerebellar ataxia

open access: yesAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2021
Background: Establishing an association between gait variability and direction specific balance indices may help in identifying the risk of falls in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) which may help in developing an appropriate intervention. This

Gait Planning and Stability Control of a Quadruped Robot [PDF]

open access: yesComputational Intelligence and Neuroscience, 2016
In order to realize smooth gait planning and stability control of a quadruped robot, a new controller algorithm based on CPG-ZMP (central pattern generator-zero moment point) is put forward in this paper. To generate smooth gait and shorten the adjusting time of the model oscillation system, a new CPG model controller and its gait switching strategy ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...
