Impairments in gait occur after alcohol consumption, and, if detected in real-time, could guide the delivery of "just-in-time" injury prevention interventions. We aimed to identify the salient features of gait that could be used for…
Walking is one of the most common modes of terrestrial locomotion for humans. Walking is essential for humans to perform most kinds of daily activities. When a person walks, there is a pattern in it, and it is known as gait. Gait analysis…
Gait recognition is the characterization of unique biometric patterns associated with each individual which can be utilized to identify a person without direct contact. A public gait database with a relatively large number of subjects can…
Compared to other biometrics, gait is difficult to conceal and has the advantage of being unobtrusive. Inertial sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, are often used to capture gait dynamics. These inertial sensors are commonly…
Activities, such as walking and sitting, are commonly used in biomedical settings either as an outcome or covariate of interest. Researchers have traditionally relied on surveys to quantify activity levels of subjects in both research and…
Background. Wearable accelerometry devices allow collection of high-density activity data in large epidemiological studies both in-the-lab as well as in-the-wild (free-living). Such data can be used to detect and identify periods of…
In recent decades, running has become an increasingly popular pastime activity due to its accessibility, ease of practice, and anticipated health benefits. However, the risk of running-related injuries is substantial for runners of…
The objective assessment of gait kinematics is crucial in evaluating human movement, informing clinical decisions, and advancing rehabilitation and assistive technologies. Assessing gait symmetry, in particular, holds significant importance…
Coronary artery disease, heart failure, angina pectoris and diabetes are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality over the globe. Susceptibility to such disorders is compounded by changing lifestyles, poor dietary routines, aging…
Excessive alcohol consumption causes disability and death. Digital interventions are promising means to promote behavioral change and thus prevent alcohol-related harm, especially in critical moments such as driving. This requires real-time…
Excess alcohol consumption leads to serious health risks and severe consequences for both individuals and their communities. To advocate for healthier drinking habits, we introduce a groundbreaking mobile smartwatch application approach to…
Gait abnormality detection is critical for the early discovery and progressive tracking of musculoskeletal and neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's and Cerebral Palsy. Especially, analyzing the foot-floor contacts during walking…
Gait is an essential manifestation of depression. Laboratory gait characteristics have been found to be closely associated with depression. However, the gait characteristics of daily walking in real-world scenarios and their relationships…
Driving under the influence of alcohol is a widespread phenomenon in the US where it is considered a major cause of fatal accidents. In this research we present a novel approach and concept for detecting intoxication from motion differences…
Gait adaptation is an important part of gait analysis and its neuronal origin and dynamics has been studied extensively. In neurorehabilitation, it is important as it perturbs neuronal dynamics and allows patients to restore some of their…
Background: Many attempts to validate gait pipelines that process sensor data to detect gait events have focused on the detection of initial contacts only in supervised settings using a single sensor. Objective: To evaluate the performance…
Human physical motion activity identification has many potential applications in various fields, such as medical diagnosis, military sensing, sports analysis, and human-computer security interaction. With the recent advances in smartphones…
We present results from a set of experiments in this pilot study to investigate the causal influence of user activity on various environmental parameters monitored by occupant carried multi-purpose sensors. Hypotheses with respect to each…
To improve the understanding of human gait and to facilitate novel developments in gait rehabilitation, the neural correlates of human gait as measured by means of non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG) have been investigated recently.…
Advances in commercial wearable devices are increasingly facilitating the collection and analysis of everyday physiological data. This paper discusses the theoretical and practical aspects of using such ambulatory devices for the detection…
