  2. 1. High-Density Electromyography-Based Methods for Joint Torque Prediction and Motor Unit Behavior Observation

    Author : Asta Kizyte; Ruoli Wang; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Christian Antfolk; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ankle; isometric contractions; machine learning; neuromuscular control; spinal cord injury; Fotled; isometriska kontraktioner; maskininlärning; neuromuskulär kontroll; ryggmärgsskada; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Abstract : Electromyography (EMG) is a technique that measures the electrical activity of muscles. It reflects muscle activation and provides an interface to the central nervous system at the level of the muscle or individual motor units, which helps us understand the mechanisms of muscle force production, control, and coordination.

  4. 2. Quantifying Gait Characteristics and Neurological Effects in people with Spinal Cord Injury using Data-Driven Techniques

    Author : Minh Truong; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Ruoli Wang; Emelie Butler Forslund; Åke Seiger; Peter Christian Raffalt; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gait analysis; pathological gait; biomechanics; health informatics; metabolic cost; unsupervised learning; nonparametric regression; shapley addictive explanations; gånganalys; funktionsnedsättning; gångpatologi; energiförbrukning; maskininlärning; hälsoinformatik; biomekanik; AI; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Abstract : Spinal cord injury, whether traumatic or nontraumatic, can partially or completely damage sensorimotor pathways between the brain and the body, leading to heterogeneous gait abnormalities. Mobility impairments also depend on other factors such as age, weight, time since injury, pain, and walking aids used. READ MORE

  5. 3. Housing accessibility and participation among older adults with long-standing spinal cord injury

    Author : Lizette Norin; Aktivt och hälsosamt åldrande; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Spinal Cord Injuries; housing accesibility problems;

    Abstract : En stödjande miljö är centralt för att kunna upprätthålla ett självständigt liv och effektivt aktivitetsutförande, särskilt med ökande ålder. För personer med funktionella begränsningar, som konsekvenserna av en ryggmärgsskada, är balansen mellan personens funktionella kapacitet och miljöns krav av yttersta vikt för att kunna leva ett så välfungerande liv som möjligt.
