When brain damage occurs, gait and balance are often impaired. Evaluation of the gait
cycle, therefore, has a pivotal role during the rehabilitation path of subjects who suffer from …

The article reviews the biomechanical factors that may cause overweight/obese children to
reduce their level of physical activity, while increasing their risk of overuse injuries and …

Clinical gait analysis attempts to provide, in a pathological context, an objective record that
quantifies the magnitude of deviations from normal gait. However, the identification of …

Human walking speeds can be influenced by multiple factors, from energetic considerations
to the time to reach a destination. Neurological deficits or lower-limb injuries can lead to …

Using VR in reclining & lying positions is getting common for users, but upward views
caused by posture have to be redirected to be parallel to the ground as when users are …

Walking is a central activity of daily life, and there is an increasing demand for objective
measurement-based gait assessment. In contrast to stationary systems, wearable inertial …

Background Functionality and versatility of microprocessor-controlled stance-control knee-
ankle-foot orthoses (M-SCKAFO) are dictated by their embedded control systems. Proper …

Background Although there is a growing body of literature showing promising effects of
balance training on gait in older adults, little is known about the effects of dual-task training …

Spatiotemporal gait characteristics change during very slow walking, a relevant speed
considering individuals with movement disorders or using assistive devices. However, we …

In this article, a novel lower extremity gait rehabilitation device with a single actuator is
presented. The proposed device, Mech-Walker, utilizes the single-degree of freedom eight …
