Toward a remote assessment of walking bout and speed: application in patients with multiple sclerosis
Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Benoît Mariani, Arash Atrsaei
Gait speed as a powerful biomarker of mobility is mostly assessed in controlled environments, e.g. in the clinic. With wearable inertial sensors, gait speed can be estimated in an objective manner. However, most of the previous works have validated the gai ...
2021Gait speed in clinical and daily living assessments in Parkinson’s disease patients: performance versus capacity
Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Benoît Mariani, Arash Atrsaei
Gait speed often referred as the sixth vital sign is the most powerful biomarker of mobility. While a clinical setting allows the estimation of gait speed under controlled conditions that present functional capacity, gait speed in real-life conditions prov ...
2021Device for measuring instantaneous sprint velocity
Kamiar Aminian, Salil Apte, Farzin Dadashi, Benoît Mariani
The invention concerns a device for measuring instantaneous sprint velocity, said device consisting of at least one position and/or one velocity sensor and one IMU sensor that respectively provide position and/or velocity and acceleration signals and where ...
2021Drift-Free Foot Orientation Estimation in Running Using Wearable IMU
Kamiar Aminian, Frédéric Meyer, Grégoire Millet, Benoît Mariani, Mathieu Pascal Falbriard
This study aimed to introduce and validate a new method to estimate and correct the orientation drift measured from foot-worn inertial sensors. A modified strap-down integration (MSDI) was proposed to decrease the orientation drift, which, in turn, was fur ...
2020Postural transitions detection and characterization in healthy and patient populations using a single waist sensor
Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Benoît Mariani, Arash Atrsaei
Background: Sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transitions are frequent daily functional tasks indicative of muscle power and balance performance. Monitoring these postural transitions with inertial sensors provides an objective tool to assess mobility in both ...
2020Integration of Wearable Sensors Into the Evaluation of Running Economy and Foot Mechanics in Elite Runners
Benoît Mariani, Mathieu Pascal Falbriard
Running economy, known as the steady-state oxygen consumption at a given submaximal intensity, has been proposed as one of the key factors differentiating East African runners from other running communities around the world. Kenyan runners have dominated m ...
LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS2018Gait 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 ...
Mdpi Ag2014Spatio-temporal gait analysis in children with cerebral palsy using foot-worn inertial sensors
Kamiar Aminian, Benoît Mariani
A child's natural gait pattern may be affected by the gait laboratory environment. Wearable devices using body-worn sensors have been developed for gait analysis. The purpose of this study was to validate and explore the use of foot-worn inertial sensors f ...
Elsevier2014Gait 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 ...
ACM New York, NY, USA2014Quantitative estimation of foot-flat and stance phase of gait using foot-worn inertial sensors
Kamiar Aminian, Xavier Crevoisier, Hossein Rouhani, Benoît Mariani
Time periods composing stance phase of gait can be clinically meaningful parameters to reveal differences between normal and pathological gait. This study aimed, first, to describe a novel method for detecting stance and inner-stance temporal events based ...
