Energy expenditure estimation using accelerometry and heart rate for multiple sclerosis and healthy older adults

Kamiar Aminian, Arash Arami, Fabien Massé, Alan Kevin Bourke

Accurate estimation of Energy Expenditure (EE) in ambulatory settings provides greater insight into the underlying relation between different human physical activity and health. This paper describes the development and validation of energy expenditure esti ...

Physical activity recognition via minimal in-shoes force sensor configuration

Kamiar Aminian, Arash Arami, Fabien Massé, Christopher Moufawad El Achkar

We propose a new minimal wearable system and a classifier for physical activity recognition. The configuration is solely based on two force sensors placed anteriorly and posteriorly under the feet. To find the optimal sensor configuration, we estimated the ...

MUNDUS project: MUltimodal Neuroprosthesis for daily Upper limb Support

Silvestro Micera, Andrea Crema, Claudia Casellato

Background: MUNDUS is an assistive framework for recovering direct interaction capability of severely motor impaired people based on arm reaching and hand functions. It aims at achieving personalization, modularity and maximization of the user's direct inv ...

Objective evaluation of cervical spine mobility after surgery during freeliving activity

Kamiar Aminian, Cyntia Duc

Background: Evaluation of cervical spine mobility after surgery is mainly based on the measurement of the range of motion during imposed movements. It can thus be questionable if this assessment represents the mobility experienced during daily life. The go ...

Brain-Controlled Wheelchairs: A Robotic Architecture

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Tom Edward Carlson

Independent mobility is core to being able to perform activities of daily living by oneself. However, powered wheelchairs are not an option for a large number of people who are unable to use conventional interfaces, due to severe motor–disabilities. Non-in ...

Activities of daily living with reverse prostheses: importance of scapular compensation for functional mobility of the shoulder

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Patricia Scheuber

Hypothesis: The nonanatomical design of reverse shoulder prostheses induce medial displacement of the center of rotation, impingements and may reduce the mobility of the shoulder. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that during activities of da ...

Detection and Classification of Postural Transitions in Real-World Conditions

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Raluca Lidia Ganea

This study proposes a new robust classifier for sit-to-stand (SiSt) and stand-to-sit (StSt) detection in daily activity. The monitoring system consists of a single inertial sensor placed on the trunk. By using dynamic time warping, the trunk acceleration p ...

Mining Complex Activities in the Wild via a Single Smartphone Accelerometer

Karl Aberer, Zhixian Yan, Dipanjan Chakraborty, Tri Kurniawan Wijaya, Angshu Rai

Complex activities are activities that are a combination of many simple ones. Typically, activities of daily living (ADLs) fall in this category. Complex activity recognition is an active area of interest amongst sensing and knowledge mining community toda ...
