Goal: This paper presents an algorithm for estimating pelvis, thigh, shank, and foot kinematics during walking using only two or three wearable inertial sensors. Methods: The algorithm makes novel use of a Lie-group-based extended Kalman…
Inertial motion analysis is having a growing interest during the last decades due to its advantages over classical optical systems. The technological solution based on inertial measurement units allows the measurement of movements in daily…
People with Parkinson's Disease (PD) often experience progressively worsening gait, including changes in how they turn around, as the disease progresses. Existing clinical rating tools are not capable of capturing hour-by-hour variations of…
Freezing of gait is a Parkinson's Disease symptom that episodically inflicts a patient with the inability to step or turn while walking. While medical experts have discovered various triggers and alleviating actions for freezing of gait,…
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…
Human identification is one of the most common and critical tasks for condition monitoring, human-machine interaction, and providing assistive services in smart environments. Recently, human gait has gained new attention as a biometric for…
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…
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…
One of the hallmark symptoms of Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the progressive loss of postural reflexes, which eventually leads to gait difficulties and balance problems. Identifying disruptions in brain function associated with gait…
Perinatal stroke (PS) is a serious condition that, if undetected and thus untreated, often leads to life-long disability, in particular Cerebral Palsy (CP). In clinical settings, Prechtl's General Movement Assessment (GMA) can be used to…
Robotics system for rehabilitation of movement disorders and motion assistance are gaining increased intention. In this scenario estimation of ground contact is an active area of research in robotics and healthcare. This article addresses…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological disorder that has a variety of observable motor-related symptoms such as slow movement, tremor, muscular rigidity, and impaired posture. PD is typically diagnosed by evaluating the severity of…
Gait refers to the patterns of limb movement generated during walking, which are unique to each individual due to both physical and behavioral traits. Walking patterns have been widely studied in biometrics, biomechanics, sports, and…
Parkinson's disease is a common neurological disease, entailing a multitude of motor deficiency symptoms. In this project, we developed a device with an uploaded edge machine learning algorithm that can detect the onset of freezing of gait…
Freezing of gait (FOG) is one of the most incapacitating symptoms in Parkinsons disease, affecting more than 50 percent of patients in advanced stages of the disease. The presence of FOG may lead to falls and a loss of independence with a…
Get-Up-and-Go Test is commonly used for assessing the physical mobility of the elderly by physicians. This paper presents a method for automatic analysis and classification of human gait in the Get-Up-and-Go Test using a Microsoft Kinect…
By 2050, a quarter of the US population will be over the age of 65 with greater than a 40% risk of developing life-altering neuromusculoskeletal pathologies. The potential of wearables, such as Apple AirPods and hearing aids, to provide…
Gait velocity has been consistently shown to be an important indicator and predictor of health status, especially in older adults. Gait velocity is often assessed clinically, but the assessments occur infrequently and thus do not allow…
The human gait is a complex interplay between the neuronal and the muscular systems, reflecting an individual's neurological and physiological condition. This makes gait analysis a valuable tool for biomechanics and medical experts.…
As the senior population rapidly increases, it is challenging yet crucial to provide effective long-term care for seniors who live at home or in senior care facilities. Smart senior homes, which have gained widespread interest in the…
