Optimization of the Position and Stiffness of Passive Walking Assistance Devices

Applied Sciences, 2023
Walking is a fundamental movement in daily life; however, many factors affect walking that may reduce the mobility of the people. Walking assistance devices can help with gaining mobility back for people who suffer from walking problems.

Outdoor walking exhibits peak ankle and knee flexion differences compared to fixed and adaptive-speed treadmills in older adults

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2021
Background Walking mechanics recorded with a traditional treadmill may not be the same as the mechanics exhibited during activities of daily living due to constrained walking speeds.

Evaluation of the IngVaL Pedobarography System for Monitoring of Walking Speed [PDF]

Healthcare Informatics Research, 2018
ObjectivesWalking speed is an important component of movement and is a predictor of health in the elderly. Pedobarography, the study of forces acting between the plantar surface of the foot and a supporting surface, is an approach to estimating walking ...

Walking Speed Measurement Technology: a Review

Current Geriatrics Reports, 2021
This article presents an overview of the main technologies used to estimate gait parameters, focusing on walking speed (WS).New wearable and environmental technologies to estimate WS have been developed in the last five years. Wearable technologies refer to sensors attached to parts of the patient's body that capture the kinematics during walking ...

Speed adaptation for a robot walking with a human [PDF]

Proceedings of the ACM/IEEE international conference on Human-robot interaction, 2007
We have taken steps towards developing a method that enables an interactive humanoid robot to adapt its speed to a walking human that it is moving together with. This is difficult because the human is simultaneously adapting to the robot. From a case study in human-human walking interaction we established a hypothesis about how to read a human's speed ...

Dilation and Constriction of Subjective Time Based on Observed Walking Speed

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
The physical properties of events are known to modulate perceived time. This study tested the effect of different quantitative (walking speed) and qualitative (walking-forward vs.

Walkability; The Relationship of Walking Distance, Walking Time and Walking Speed [PDF]

Jurnal Rekayasa Konstruksi Mekanika Sipil (JRKMS), 2020
Walking is cheap and healthy. It is the main transportation for the majority of students exploring their daily life in their campus area. Different types of people will have various types of walking behavior. To develop a better knowledge of the walkability of built environment, it is important to understand the complexity behind walking behavior ...

Gait Variability at Different Walking Speeds

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2023
Gait variability (GV) is a crucial measure of inconsistency of muscular activities or body seg-mental movements during repeated tasks. Hence, GV might serve as a relevant and sensitive measure to quantify adjustments of walking control. However, has not been clarified whether GV is associated with walking speed to exploit effective better coordination ...

Movement measurements at home for multiple sclerosis: walking speed measured by a novel ambient measurement system

Multiple Sclerosis Journal - Experimental, Translational and Clinical, 2018
Background Gait disturbance is a major contributor to clinical disability in multiple sclerosis (MS). A sensor was developed to assess walking speed at home for people with MS using infrared technology in real-time without the use of wearables. Objective
