gait rehabilitation using body weight support on a treadmill is a recommended rehabilitation technique for neurological injuries, such as spinal cord injury. in this paper, a new robotic orthosis is presented for treadmill training. in the presented design the criteria such as low inertia of robot components, backdrivability, high safety and degrees of freedom based on human walking are conside...

dynamically stable biped robots mimicking human locomotion have received significant attention over the last few decades. formerly, the existence of stable periodic gaits for straight walking of passive biped walkers was well known and investigated as the notion of passive dynamic walking. this study is aimed to elaborate this notion in the case of three dimensional (3d) walking and extend it f...

There has been research interest in using the micro Doppler effect for contactless measurements of human respiration. Most of the research assumes that the test subject remains stationary. The purpose of this paper is to detect a respiration signal from a walking human. This work is at an early stage, and MATLAB model for a walking human with respiration movement was used, instead of recreating...


 In this paper we review what mechanisms are used to stabilize human bipedal gait. Based on mechanical reasoning, potential control the body center of mass trajectory modulation foot placement, stance leg consisting ankle moments and push-off forces, modulations body’s angular momentum. The first two especially dominant in controlling accelerations during gait, while momentum plays a less...

This paper proposes a gait planning approach to reduce the required friction for a biped robot walking on various surfaces. To this end, a humanoid robot with 18 DOF is considered to develop a dynamics model for studying various 3D manoeuvres. Then, feasible trajectories are developed to alleviate the fluctuations on the upper body to resemble human-like walking. In order to generate feasible w...

background: owing to increased complexity in the evolution of society, stress has become an important public health problem, and is responsible for more than 30 types of diseases. most of the research on stress conducted to date has focused on physical and psychological aspects; however, there are very few reports about the association between psychological stress and elements within the reside...

The purpose of this study is to identify human walking vertical force by using FFT power spectrum density from the experimental acceleration data of the human body. An experiment on human walking is carried out on a stationary floor especially paying attention to higher components of dynamic vertical walking force. Based on measured acceleration data of the human lumbar part, not only in-phase ...

Gait analysis is the systematic study of human walking. It is helpful in the medical management of those diseases which affect the locomotion systems. Recently, the gait motion capture systems are becoming widely used by doctors and physical therapists for kinematics analysis and biomechanics and motion capture research, sports medicine and physical therapy, including human gait analysis and in...
