Development of Automated Gait Assessment and Intelligent Virtual Reality Based Gait Training Systems for Post-Stroke Rehabilitation
… with approximately 80% of survivors experiencing gait impairments that severely compromise mobility, independence, and quality of life. This thesis aims to integrate advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) into post-stroke gait assessment and …

Development and application of a protocol for fine-wire and surface EMG Data collection as part of clinical gait assessment
… it was the primary focus of early clinical gait analysis (CGA), it has become progressively less common since the widespread adoption of optoelectronic measuring systems capturing three dimensional kinematics and kinetics. This is surprising since EMG has considerable potential to explain …

Wearable Sensor System for Quantifying Proprioceptive Competence in Microgravity
… used in medical rehabilitation and functional gait assessment. We designed, built, and pilot tested a wearable sensor system capable of inertial motion capture in the parabolic flight environment. Through comparing whole-body joint fluidity in translation movements done in 1-g and microgravity, …

Evaluation of lameness associated with arthroscopy or arthrotomy of the normal canine cubital joint
… cubital joint. Dogs were evaluated using kinetic gait assessment, subjective evaluation scores, and cubital joint range of motion (ROM). Evaluations were performed prior to surgery and on days 2, 4, 7, 15, 22, and 29 after surgery. Preoperative radiographs of both cubital joints and postoperative …

Examining the relationships between body motion gaming or mind-body practice and balance, cognition, and social engagement in community dwelling older adults
… for the study. Pre, post, and one-month post assessments performed included the Berg Balance Scale, Functional Gait Assessment, 30-second Chair Stand Test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and Satisfaction with Life Scale. Participants were assigned into either a body motion gaming group, in …

Quantifying gait stability based on body segment coordination relationships measured with wireless sensors
… these relationships can be used to characterize gait stability in persons with MS (PwMS). In Aim 1, we determined how segment relationships are affected by changing walking speed and sensory input in PwMS compared to healthy controls. PwMS and healthy age-matched controls walked on a treadmill at …

Stair Negotiation in an older adult population: Analysis of the lower limb
… similar for older adults with FOF. However, a gait assessment revealed that older adults with FOF demonstrated differences from ‘normal’ gait patterns during stair negotiation with and without a handrail. These studies provide a comprehensive normative dataset of the lower limb joint kinematics …

The Effect of Balance-Based Torso-Weighting on Mobility, Gait, Balance, Postural Control, and Falls Efficacy in Mobility Limited Older Adults
… was a not a significant interaction for the gait variables (p = .45), but there was a moderate effect size (η2 = .06) as well as a significant main effect of time (p = .02). A significant effect of time was observed for the Functional Gait Assessment (FGA, p = .01) with the WG demonstrating …

Validation and standardisation of a two dimensional motion analysis technique to measure normal conformation and gait in Arabian horses.
… method for analysing equine conformation and gait. The use of these methods to define breed specific conformation and gait could be utilised by the industry for conformation and gait assessment. This study focussed on validating and standardising such methods to define normal conformation and …

Sex-Specific Head Impact Exposure in Rugby: Measurement Considerations and Relationships to Clinical Outcomes
… an elevated symptom presentation and changes in gait, or an individual's walking pattern. It is not well understood if similar deficits result after an accumulation of subconcussive impacts. The majority of research on human tolerance to head injury has been based on American football, using …

An automatic wearable multi-sensor based gait analysis system for older adults.
Gait abnormalities in older adults are very common in clinical practice. They lead to serious adverse consequences such as falls and injury resulting in increased care cost. There is therefore a national imperative to address this challenge. Currently gait assessment is done using standardized …
