Asymmetry is a cardinal symptom of gait post-stroke that is targeted during rehabilitation.
Technological developments have allowed accelerometers to be a feasible tool to provide …

Background Studies have shown that gait asymmetry and activity limitation can persist
several months or years after ankle fracture. However, evidence of gait and trunk movement …

Objective: A novel method based on the application of the Teager-Kaiser Energy Operator is
presented to estimate instances of initial contact (IC) and final contact (FC) from …

Purpose: Gait variability is a determinant of qualified locomotion and is useful for monitoring
the effects of therapeutic interventions. The aim of this study was to compare gait variability …

The regularity of pseudo-periodic human movements, including locomotion, can be
assessed by autocorrelation analysis of measurements using inertial sensors. Though …

This volume is dedicated to Prof. Vsevolod M. Kuntsevich, Academician of the National
Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU), President of the National Committee of the …

This paper investigates the fuzzy real-time multi-objective optimization of a combined test
robot/transfemoral prosthesis system with three degrees of freedom. Impedance control …

Microprocessor prosthetic knees, able to restore the gait of people with transfemoral
amputation, are now often equipped with sensors embedded in the prosthetic shank, which …

A key factor for fall prevention involves understanding the pathophysiology of stability. This
study proposes the postural stability index (PSI), which is a novel measure to quantify …

Background Gait instability is common in adults with neurologic disorders and the modified
Dynamic Gait Index (mDGI) was recently introduced to assess dynamic balance. However …
