Gait analysis using wearable devices has advantages over non-wearable devices when it comes to portability and accessibility. However, non-wearable devices have consistently shown superior performance in terms of the gait information they…
We introduce Walk4Me, a telehealth community mobility assessment system designed to facilitate early diagnosis, severity, and progression identification. Our system achieves this by 1) enabling early diagnosis, 2) identifying early…
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…
In recent years, single modality based gait recognition has been extensively explored in the analysis of medical images or other sensory data, and it is recognised that each of the established approaches has different strengths and…
Recent years have witnessed an increasing global population affected by neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), which traditionally require extensive healthcare resources and human effort for medical diagnosis and monitoring. As a crucial…
Several pathologies can alter the way people walk, i.e. their gait. Gait analysis can therefore be used to detect impairments and help diagnose illnesses and assess patient recovery. Using vision-based systems, diagnoses could be done at…
Many epidemiological and clinical studies use accelerometry to objectively measure physical activity using the activity counts, vector magnitude, or number of steps. These measures use just a fraction of the information in the raw…
As our population ages, neurological impairments and degeneration of the musculoskeletal system yield gait abnormalities, which can significantly reduce quality of life. Gait rehabilitative therapy has been widely adopted to help patients…
The aim of this study is developing an automatic system for detection of gait-related health problems using Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). The proposed system takes a video of patients as the input and estimates their 3D body pose using a DNN…
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…
Infants' spontaneous and voluntary movements mirror developmental integrity of brain networks since they require coordinated activation of multiple sites in the central nervous system. Accordingly, early detection of infants with atypical…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system affecting over 2.5 million people globally. In-clinic six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a widely used objective measure to…
Autism diagnosis presents a major challenge due to the vast heterogeneity of the condition and the elusive nature of early detection. Atypical gait and gesture patterns are dominant behavioral characteristics of autism and can provide…
Clinical assessments for neuromuscular disorders, such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), continue to rely on subjective measures to monitor treatment response and disease progression. We introduce a…
People with mobility impairments are often recommended for gait assessment studies to diagnose their condition and to select appropriate physiotherapy to improve their mobility. These studies are often conducted in clinical or lab settings,…
The identification of individual movement characteristics sets the foundation for the assessment of personal rehabilitation progress and can provide diagnostic information on levels and stages of movement disorders. This work presents a…
Analysing human gait has found considerable interest in recent computer vision research. So far, however, contributions to this topic exclusively dealt with the tasks of person identification or activity recognition. In this paper, we…
Background: Gait and balance impairment can profoundly impact people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Objectives: To evaluate the analytical and clinical validity of the U-Turn Test (UTT), a smartphone-based assessment of dynamic balance in…
Gait recognition is an important recognition technology, because gait is not easy to camouflage and does not need cooperation to recognize subjects. However, many existing methods are inadequate in preserving both temporal information and…
Gait recognition, a growing field in biological recognition technology, utilizes distinct walking patterns for accurate individual identification. However, existing methods lack the incorporation of temporal information. To reach the full…
