conclusions according to the findings of the current study, both open-loop and closed-loop neuromuscular control mechanisms altered in patients with cai. methods it was a case-control study. twenty-two subjects with unilateral cai and 22 healthy subjects stood on a force plate and initiated gait with maximal velocity under 2 conditions: i) planned (initiated gait after hearing the “all set” sig...

As the population ages, prediction of falls risk is becoming an increasingly important research area. Due to built-in inertial sensors and ubiquity, smartphones provide an attractive data collection and computing platform for falls risk prediction and continuous gait monitoring. One challenge in continuous gait monitoring is that significant signal variability exists between individuals with a ...

Prosthetics and orthotics research, studies, technologies have been evolving through the years. According to World Health Organization (WHO) data, it is estimated that, globally, 35–40 million people require prosthetics usage in daily life. demand increasing due certain factors. One of factors vascular-related disease, which leads amputation. Prosthetic can increase an amputee’s quality Therefo...

We address amplification of noise in double differentiation of position histories for dynamic analysis of gait. Measurements of the frequency domain characteristics of signal and noise are required to quantitatively assess errors in raw, filtered, and dynamic gait data. The results of a simple technique to determine the frequency content of gait using a population of 12 subjects and a total of ...

Gait maturation is a major developmental milestone in early childhood. In contrast, gait changes in the elderly usually signal the need for a change of lifestyle and possibly supported living. There is an indisputable need to acquire reference data in order to examine the variability in healthy people and mechanisms of gait maturation, malfunction and decline. Current decisions about the qualit...

Gait recognition is identifying human beings by the manner in which they walk. It has been shown by several researchers that human beings have the ability to recognize other people by their gait. Machine recognition of gait is becoming increasingly important for surveillance, awarespaces etc. A number of methods have been proposed by different researchers in the recent past for this purpose. Mo...

The use of a free gait becomes necessary when walking over discontinuous terrain or when performing changes in the heading of the robot. If no look-ahead planning is possible, the free gait must be generated reactively. We present a basic gait generation strategy and a heuristic enhancement of it that results in a significant efficiency improvement. In the search for a better strategy, we decid...
