This paper focuses on the design and comparison of different deep neural networks for real-time prediction locomotor transition intentions one osseointegrated transfemoral amputee using only data from inertial measurement units. The are based convolutional networks, recurrent networks. architectures' input features in both time domain time-frequency domain, which derived either unit (placed abo...

antioxidants have protective effects against free radicals-induced neural damage in parkinson's disease (pd). we examined the effects of ellagic acid (ea) on locomotion, pallidal local eeg, and its frequency bands' power and also cerebral antioxidant contents in a rat model of pd induced by 6-hydroxidopamine (6-ohda). 6-ohda (16 µg/2µ l) was injected into the right medial forebrain bundle (mfb)...

Purpose: To assess the performance of activities of daily living (ADL) in individuals with moderate to severe multiple sclerosis (MS). Method: A total of 12 men and 32 women with MS (Expanded Disability Status Scale, EDSS, 6.0 – 8.5) were studied. The performance of personal ADL (P-ADL) and instrumental ADL (I-ADL) was assessed with the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and the Assessment o...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the variation in mobility during hospitalization in an intensive care unit and its association with hospital mortality. METHODS This prospective study was conducted in an intensive care unit. The inclusion criteria included patients admitted with an independence score of ≥ 4 for both bed-chair transfer and locomotion, with the score based on the Functional Independence M...

Genetic approaches using temporal and brain region-specific restricted gene deletions have provided a wealth of insight in the brain regions and temporal aspects underlying spatial and associative learning. However, for locomotion such extensive studies are still scarce. Previous studies demonstrated that Camk2b(-/-) mice, which lack the β isoform of Calcium/Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase ...

3D Virtual Environments (VE) are becoming popular as a tool for cognitive, functional and psychological assessment. Navigation in these environments is recognized as one of the most difficult activities in 3D Virtual Environments (VE). Users unfamiliar to 3D games, specially elder persons, get puzzled when they try to virtually move an avatar through these environments. Their inability to navig...

Oscillatory rhythms in local field potentials (LFPs) are thought to coherently bind cooperating neuronal ensembles to produce behaviors, including locomotion. LFPs recorded from sites that trigger locomotion have been used as a basis for identification of appropriate targets for deep brain stimulation (DBS) to enhance locomotor recovery in patients with gait disorders. Theta band activity (6-12...
