Model-Based Gait Enrolment in Real-World Imagery
, 2003 We present a model-based approach to gait extraction that is capable of reliable operation on real-world imagery. Hierarchies of shape and motion are employed to yield relatively modest computational demands, avoiding the high-dimensional search spaces ...

Miniature Soft Robot With Magnetically Reprogrammable Surgical Functions
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Miniature soft robots have great prospects to revolutionize minimally invasive treatments. Here we present a miniature soft robot, which can be reprogrammed to perform five surgical functionalities with six‐degrees‐of‐freedom motions. This soft robot can prospectively make minimally invasive surgery considerably safer and painless, and enable ...

On the Relationship of Human Walking and Running: Automatic Person Identification by Gait
, 2002 The intimate relationship between human walking and running lies within the skeleto-muscular structure. This is expressed as a mapping that can transform computer vision derived gait signatures from running to walking and vice versa, for purposes of ...

Dexime: A Selectively Enzyme‐Degradable Hydrogel for Protein Therapeutic Release
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A dextrin‐oxime hydrogel (dexime) is produced using ketone or aldehyde modified dextrin and tetra‐oxyamine modified poly(ethylene glycol). The rheological and mechanical properties of dexime are tunable. Dexime is injectable, cytocompatible, hydrolytically stable, and selectively degradable by α‐amylase.

Changes in corticospinal excitability in response to mediolateral gait instability
Experimental PhysiologyUnpredictable gait disturbances, particularly in the mediolateral direction, pose a significant challenge to stability and are a common contributor to falls. Although the corticospinal tract is critical for gait and postural control, its response to such

European Journal of Physics, 2005 Summary: We analyse the dynamics of human gait with simple nonlinear time series analysis methods that are appropriate for undergraduate courses. We show that short continuous recordings of the human locomotory apparatus possess properties typical of deterministic chaotic systems.
