Investigating the neuromechanical control of healthy gait modulation and pathological gaits observed in cerebral palsy using neuromuscular simulations
Locomotion is based on a sophisticated interaction among the environment, the musculoskeletal system, the spinal cord, and the brain locomotor areas. Quality of life is strongly related to the proper capability of this movement. However, many pathologies, ...
EPFL2023Targeted regeneration of spinal cord neurons across a complete injury restores walking
Spinal cord injury (SCI) interrupts axonal connections between the brain and the spinal cord, and is characterized by a spectrum of sensorimotor and autonomic impairments. While spontaneous recovery is limited, recent studies have shown that functional imp ...
EPFL2023Assessing real-world gait with digital technology? Validation, insights and recommendations from the Mobilise-D consortium
Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Abolfazl Soltani, Francesca Salis
Background: Although digital mobility outcomes (DMOs) can be readily calculated from real-world data collected with wearable devices and ad-hoc algorithms, technical validation is still required. The aim of this paper is to comparatively assess and validat ...
BMC2023Knee adduction moment decomposition: Toward better clinical decision-making
Kamiar Aminian, Xavier Crevoisier, Robin Martin
Knee adduction moment (KAM) is correlated with the progression of medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). Although a generic gait modification can reduce the KAM in some patients, it may have a reverse effect on other patients. We proposed the "decomposed ground ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Review of control strategies for lower-limb exoskeletons to assist gait
Auke Ijspeert, Mohamed Bouri, Ali Reza Manzoori, Romain Pierre François Baud
Background Many lower-limb exoskeletons have been developed to assist gait, exhibiting a large range of control methods. The goal of this paper is to review and classify these control strategies, that determine how these devices interact with the user. Met ...
BMC2021Gait analysis in children with cerebral palsy: bridging the gap between the laboratory and real life
Like 17 million people worldwide, an individual with cerebral palsy (CP) does not have the opportunity to walk harmoniously in society due to long-life impairments in movement and posture. The natural course of CP can be modulated by treatments and therapi ...
EPFL2020Walking Speed of Children and Adolescents With Cerebral Palsy: Laboratory Versus Daily Life
Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff, Stéphane Armand
The purpose of this pilot study was to compare walking speed, an important component of gait, in the laboratory and daily life, in young individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) and with typical development (TD), and to quantify to what extent gait observed in ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2020Real-World Gait Bout Detection Using a Wrist Sensor: An Unsupervised Real-Life Validation
Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Hooman Dejnabadi, Abolfazl Soltani
Gait bouts (GB), as a prominent indication of physical activity, contain valuable fundamental information closely associated with human & x2019;s health status. Therefore, objective assessment of the GB (e.g. detection, spatio-temporal analysis) during dai ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2020Hybrid peripheral-spinal neuroprosthesis for refined motor execution after paralysis
Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts the communication between the brain and the spinal circuits responsible for movement, thereby causing severe motor deficits. Current strategies to restore function to paralyzed limbs have separately investigated electrical ...
