Gait Assessment in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Children during Long-Distance Walking

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Raluca Lidia Ganea

The aim of this study was to investigate the alteration of the gait pattern in 25 children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, using body-worn inertial sensors during a long walking distance. Normalized spatiotemporal gait parameters and their variability we ...

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 ...

Multi-parametric Evaluation of Sit-to-Stand and Stand-to-Sit Transitions in Elderly People

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Raluca Lidia Ganea

The aim of this study was to extract multi-parametric measures characterizing different features of sit-to-stand (Si-St) and stand-to-sit (St-Si) transitions in older persons, using a single inertial sensor attached to the chest. Investigated parameters we ...

Assessment of Body Motion and Muscle Weakness : Outcome Evaluation in Frail Elderly and DMD Subjects

Raluca Lidia Ganea

Muscle weakness is a common symptom in elderly population and in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), causing impaired mobility. DMD is a devastating degenerative disease caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene, leading to the absence of th ...

Conjugate momentum estimate using non-linear dynamic model of the sit-to-stand correlates well with accelerometric surface data

Kamiar Aminian, Raluca Lidia Ganea

The purpose of this study was the development of a non-linear double inverted constrained pendulum model for the analysis of the movement of sit-to-stand (STS) transition. Ten able-bodied subjects perform five trials in their natural speed. Kinematics, kin ...
