Neurological disorders, including stroke, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease, generally lead to diminished upper extremity (UE) function, impacting individuals' independence and quality of life. Traditional…
Low physical activity levels in the intensive care units (ICU) patients have been linked to adverse clinical outcomes. Therefore, there is a need for continuous and objective measurement of physical activity in the ICU to quantify the…
The majority of Americans fail to achieve recommended levels of physical activity, which leads to numerous preventable health problems such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart diseases. This has generated substantial interest in monitoring…
Objective: In this work the potential of non-invasive detection of knee osteoarthritis is investigated using the sounds generated by the knee joint during walking. Methods: The information contained in the time-frequency domain of these…
Physical activity during hip fracture rehabilitation is essential for mitigating long-term functional decline in geriatric patients. However, it is rarely quantified in clinical practice. Existing continuous monitoring systems with…
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) improve symptoms in end-stage osteoarthritis, yet long-term objective characterization of perioperative physical activity trajectories remains limited. We conducted a…

We developed a ResNet-based human activity recognition (HAR) model with minimal overhead to detect gait versus non-gait activities and everyday activities (walking, running, stairs, standing, sitting, lying, sit-to-stand transitions). The…
Low physical activity is a known risk factor for major depressive disorder (MDD), but changes in activity before a first clinical diagnosis remain unclear, especially using long-term objective measurements. This study characterized…
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent degenerative joint disease, and the knee is the most commonly affected joint. Biomechanical factors, particularly forces exerted during walking, are often measured in modern studies of knee joint…
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…
Activity monitors are widely used to measure various physical activities (PA) as an indicator of mobility, fitness and general health. Similarly, real-time monitoring of longitudinal trends in step count has significant clinical potential…
