Context-Aware Monitoring of Hand Motor Primitives in Daily Life Activities: A Pathway to Objectively Assess Rehabilitation of Patients with Upper-Limb Neurological Impairment
The hands, our silent performers in daily life, face overwhelming challenges when neurological impairments disrupt the simple tasks that compose our daily symphony. This thesis unveils a comprehensive framework for the objective monitoring of upper-limb re ...
EPFL2024Adaptive Fingers Coordination for Robust Grasp and In-Hand Manipulation Under Disturbances and Unknown Dynamics
Aude Billard, Farshad Khadivar
We present a control framework for achieving a robust object grasp and manipulation in hand. In-hand manipulation remains a demanding task as the object is never stable and task success relies on carefully synchronizing the fingers' dynamics. Indeed, finge ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2023Investigating 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, ...
EPFL2023Closed-Loop Control of Epidural Electrical Stimulation in Patients with Spinal Cord Injury and Parkinson's Disease
Over the past two decades, epidural electrical stimulation (EES) has transitioned from a treatment for chronic pain to a promising paradigm for ameliorating deficits associated with neurological disorders like spinal cord injury (SCI) and Parkinson's Disea ...
EPFL2023A robust walking detection algorithm using a single foot-worn inertial sensor: validation in real-life settings
Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Gaëlle Prigent, Francesca Salis
Walking activity and gait parameters are considered among the most relevant mobility-related parameters. Currently, gait assessments have been mainly analyzed in laboratory or hospital settings, which only partially reflect usual performance (i.e., real wo ...
SPRINGER HEIDELBERG2023Immediate effect of ankle exoskeleton on spatiotemporal parameters and center of pressure trajectory after stroke
Silvestro Micera, Mohamed Bouri, Solaiman Shokur, Mouhamed Zorkot
Gait impairments is a common condition in post-stroke subjects. We recently presented a wearable ankle exoskeleton called G-Exos, which showed that the device assisted in the ankle's dorsiflexion and inversion/reversion movements. The aim of the current pi ...
New York2023Gait Variability to Phenotype Common Orthopedic Gait Impairments Using Wearable Sensors
Mobility impairments are a common symptom of age-related degenerative diseases. Gait features can discriminate those with mobility disorders from healthy individuals, yet phenotyping specific pathologies remains challenging. This study aims to identify if ...
MDPI2022Comparison of Laboratory and Daily-Life Gait Speed Assessment during ON and OFF States in Parkinson’s Disease
Accurate assessment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) ON and OFF states in the usual environment is essential for tailoring optimal treatments. Wearables facilitate measurements of gait in novel and unsupervised environments; however, differences between unsupe ...
2021Falls Efficacy Is Associated With Better Gait and Functional Outcomes After Rehabilitation in Older Patients
Objective: To examine the relationship between falls efficacy and the change in gait speed and functional status in older patients undergoing postacute rehabilitation. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Postacute rehabilitation facility. Participan ...
W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INC2021Pharmacological characterization of mutant huntingtin aggregate-directed PET imaging tracer candidates
Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by a CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the first exon of the huntingtin (HTT) gene coding for the huntingtin (HTT) protein. The misfolding and consequential aggregation of CAG-expanded mutant HTT (mHTT) underpin HD p ...
