The assessment of rehabilitation robot safety is a vital aspect of the development process,
which is often experienced as difficult. There are gaps in best practices and knowledge to …

Background: Despite extensive literature regarding laboratory-based balance perturbations,
there is no up-to-date systematic review of methods. This systematic review aimed to assess …

Background Humans partially maintain gait stability by actively controlling step width based
on the dynamic state of the pelvis–hereby defined as the “dynamics-dependent control of …

People post-stroke have an increased risk of falls compared to neurotypical individuals,
partly resulting from an inability to generate appropriate reactions to restore balance …

Background Due to disrupted motor and proprioceptive function, lower limb amputation
imposes considerable challenges associated with balance and greatly increases risk of …

Background Generating appropriate balancing reactions in response to unexpected loss of
balance during walking is important to prevent falls. The purpose of this study was to assess …

Kinovea is a low-cost 2D motion analysis software. The main objective of this study is to
examine the performance of Kinovea to compute spatial parameters related to perturbation …

Background: Stroke-related falls occur at especially high rates in rehabilitation settings.
Inpatient-hospital falls have been identified as one of the most common medical …

This study aimed to investigate how external perturbations caused by the treadmill belt's
deceleration during the pre-swing phase affect gait kinematics and kinetics in young adults …

Series Elastic Actuation decouples actuator inertia from the interaction ports and is thus
advantageous for force-controlled devices. Parallel or even passive compliance can fulfill a …
