Analysing the distribution of walking in the Swiss population

Vincent Kaufmann, Emmanuel Pierre Jean Ravalet, Derek Pierre Christie

In many countries including Switzerland, public policy encourages people to walk for reasons linked to health, the environment, and transport. However, the distribution of walking in the population is not known. People who walk great distances have not bee ...

Robot-assisted gait training improves motor performances and modifies Motor Unit firing in post-stroke patients

Silvestro Micera

Background. Robotics and related technologies are realizing their promise to improve the delivery of rehabilitation therapy but the mechanism by which they enhance recovery is still unknown. The electromechanical-driven gait orthosis Lokomat has demonstrat ...

Improving activity recognition using a wearable barometric pressure sensor in mobility-impaired stroke patients

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Arash Arami, Fabien Massé

Background Stroke survivors often suffer from mobility deficits. Current clinical evaluation methods, including questionnaires and motor function tests, cannot provide an objective measure of the patients’ mobility in daily life. Physical activity performa ...

Bio-inspired walking for humanoid robots using feet with human-like compliance and neuromuscular control

Auke Ijspeert, Nicolas Benoît Dominique Van der Noot, Luca Colasanto

The human foot plays a key role in human walking providing, among others, body support and propulsion, stability of the movement and impact absorption. These fundamental functionalities are accomplished by an extraordinarily rich bio-mechanical design. Non ...

Gait Analysis Using Shoe-worn Inertial Sensors: How is foot clearance related to walking speed?

Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Benoît Mariani

Spatiotemporal gait analysis with body worn inertial sensors improves diagnosis in clinical practice. Most of the gait performance measures are affected by walking speed. However, it has not been investigated that how much information foot clearance parame ...

Kinematic primitives for walking and trotting gaits of a quadruped robot with compliant legs

Auke Ijspeert, Alexander Spröwitz, Mostafa Ajallooeian, Alexandre Tuleu

In this work we research the role of body dynamics in the complexity of kinematic patterns in a quadruped robot with compliant legs. Two gait patterns, lateral sequence walk and trot, along with leg length control patterns of different complexity were impl ...

Gait and Foot Clearance Parameters Obtained Using Shoe-Worn Inertial Sensors in a Large-Population Sample of Older Adults

Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Benoît Mariani

In order to distinguish dysfunctional gait; clinicians require a measure of reference gait parameters for each population. This study provided normative values for widely used parameters in more than 1400 able-bodied adults over the age of 65. We also meas ...

Pre-Impact Fall Detection: Optimal Sensor Positioning Based on a Machine Learning Paradigm

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni

The aim of this study was to identify the best subset of body segments that provides for a rapid and reliable detection of the transition from steady walking to a slipping event. Fifteen healthy young subjects managed unexpected perturbations during walkin ...
