Robot-Assisted Targeted Gait Training

open access: yesJournal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences, 2023
Background: Millions of people are affected yearly by “runner’s knee” and osteoarthritis, which is thought to be related to impact force. Millions are also affected by chronic falling, who are usually both difficult to identify and train. While at first glance, these topics seem to be entirely disconnected, there appears to be a need for a device that ...

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

Impact of Altered Gastrocnemius Morphometrics and Fascicle Behavior on Walking Patterns in Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2020
Spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) affects neural control, deteriorates muscle morphometrics, and may progressively impair functional walking ability. Upon passive testing, gastrocnemius medialis (GM) muscle bellies or fascicles are typically shorter, thinner,

Effect of assist-as-needed robotic gait training on the gait pattern post stroke: a randomized controlled trial

open access: yesJournal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2021
Background Regaining gait capacity is an important rehabilitation goal post stroke. Compared to clinically available robotic gait trainers, robots with an assist-as-needed approach and multiple degrees of freedom (AANmDOF) are expected to support motor ...

Gait feature subset selection by mutual information [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Feature selection is an important pre-processing step for pattern recognition. It can discard irrelevant and redundant information that may not only affect a classifier’s performance, but also tell against system’s efficiency.

Effects of three types of exercise interventions on healthy old adults’ gait speed: A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background Habitual walking speed predicts many clinical conditions later in life, but it declines with age. However, which particular exercise intervention can minimize the age-related gait speed loss is unclear.

Resistance Training Combined with Balance or Gait Training for Patients with Parkinson’s Disease: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study

open access: yesParkinson's Disease, 2022
Background. Gait and balance disorders in patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD) lead to major mobility limitations. To counteract this, physical therapy such as gait, balance, or resistance training is applied.

A Behavioral Mechanism of How Increases in Leg Strength Improve Old Adults’ Gait Speed [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We examined a behavioral mechanism of how increases in leg strength improve healthy old adults’ gait speed. Leg press strength training improved maximal leg press load 40% (p = 0.001) and isometric strength in 5 group of leg muscles 32% (p = 0.001) in a ...
