predicting disease severity and tracking disease progression over time using nocturnal breathing. The system takes as input one night of breathing signals, which can be collected using a breathing belt worn on the person’s chest or abdomen26. Alternatively, the breathing signals ...
except for the observational gait analysis for which the expert physiotherapists were independently ranking the same videos. We used paired (when applicable) or unpaired one-tailedt-test, except as otherwise specified, withα = 0.05.Pvalues are reported with ***P < 0.001, ...
Wearable BeltHuman gait is a complex movement related to many muscles and joints of the body. In clinical research, gait analysis can be used to investigate the features of normal or abnormal gait for demonstrating a change from treatment or from disease progression. In the past, many optical-...
We term this the double-belt problem (DBP). Objective: here we developed a complementary detection method using the loading response peak (LRP), anchor point for calculating gait parameters. Methods: we used GRF gait data from twenty adults (age 56.45 ± 4.81 y; 6 males) who walked on an...
In order to construct a gait adaptation model of such human split-belt treadmill walking, we proposed a simple control model and developed a new two-dimensional biped robot walk on a split-belt treadmill. We combined the conventional limit-cycle-based control consisting of joint PD control, ...
The tactile information of the foot–ground interaction during natural walking was captured and delivered to the user by means of VT units placed on the haptic belt worn on her/his waist. The progression of the gait was encoded in the spatial distribution of the foot pressure recorded by the...
the viscosity and cushioning effect of the water allow people with balance or gait problems to walk confidently [11]. There are two types of aquatic running: deep-water running and shallow-water running. In the deep-water method, runners are supported by a buoyant vest or belt and suspended...
They can provide high accuracy measurements for gait analysis, but they usually need very expensive optical equipment. Also, the experiments are restricted to the laboratory environment. In this paper we design a dual-accelerometer-based belt, which a user can wear it on the waist to perform ...
