  2. 6. “Taking the next step” : whole-body biomechanical gait analysis, and user-perspectives on robotic-assisted gait training post-stroke

    Author : Heidi Nedergård; Charlotte Häger; Marlene Sandlund; Susanne Palmcrantz; Erika Franzén; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; stroke; robotic-assisted; electro-mechanical; gait training; gait analysis; user-perspectives; kinematics; physiotherapy; fysioterapi;

    Abstract : Background: Stroke, and its subsequent motor function impairments may result in limited gait ability characterised by compensatory movement patterns that include deviations and asymmetries. How these movement patterns should be evaluated and quantified in order to be monitored and treated in the long term is not yet standardised. READ MORE

  4. 7. Learning Human Gait

    Author : Parinaz Kasebzadeh; Fredrik Gustafsson; Gustaf Hendeby; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Pedestrian navigation in body-worn devices is usually based on global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), which is a sufficient solution in most outdoor applications. Pedestrian navigation indoors is much more challenging. Further, GNSS does not provide any specific information about the gait style or how the device is carried. READ MORE

  5. 8. Gait Event Detection in the Real World

    Author : Siddhartha Khandelwal; Nicholas Wickström; Thorsteinn Rögnvaldsson; Brian Caulfield; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; gait analysis; gait event detection; wearable sensors; accelerometers;

    Abstract : Healthy gait requires a balance between various neuro-physiological systems and is considered an important indicator of a subject's physical and cognitive health status. As such, health-related applications would immensely benefit by performing long-term or continuous monitoring of subjects' gait in their natural environment and everyday lives. READ MORE

  6. 9. Neuronal Networks of Movement : Slc10a4 as a Modulator & Dmrt3 as a Gait-keeper

    Author : Martin Larhammar; Klas Kullander; Leif Andersson; Åsa Wallén-Mackenzie; Robert Fyffe; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Synaptic vesicle transporter; Neuromodulation; Dopamine; Central Pattern Generator; Locomotion; Gait; Horse; Mouse; Commissural Inhibitory Interneuron; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : Nerve cells are organized into complex networks that comprise the building blocks of our nervous system. Neurons communicate by transmitting messenger molecules released from synaptic vesicles. Alterations in neuronal circuitry and synaptic signaling contribute to a wide range of neurological conditions, often with consequences for movement. READ MORE

  7. 10. A Symbolic Approach to Human Motion Analysis Using Inertial Sensors : Framework and Gait Analysis Study

    Author : Anita Sant'Anna; Thorsteinn Rögnvaldsson; Nicholas Wickström; Kamiar Aminian; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; symbolization; expert knowledge; gait analysis; inertial sensors;

    Abstract : Motion analysis deals with determining what and how activities are being performed by a subject, through the use of sensors. The process of answering the what question is commonly known as classification, and answering the how question is here referred to as characterization. READ MORE
