Development and Analysis of Linkage-based Overground Gait Rehabilitation Robots
… (LGT) was the first device developed and is an overground gait rehabilitation device consisting of a four-bar linkage end-effector mechanism. The literature review suggested the design could be an effective gait rehabilitation device while minimising the components required. The design of the …

Development of an Interactive Robot for Overground Physical Human-Robot Interaction
<p>"The overground interactive robots are potentially beneficial for humans in various areas, such as overground rehabilitation therapies and robotic interactive assistance. However, it is unclear what the expectations and challenges are for a robot to be physically interactive with a human during …

The Impact of High-Cadence Cycling on Overground Running Performance in Recreational Runners
<p>Cycling is a commonly used exercise because it provides a controllable cardiovascular and musculoskeletal demand while imposing relatively low impact on the rider. High-cadence cycling (HCC) has been shown to influence subsequent running performance and gait performance by increasing cadence and …

Trajectory control of a wheeled robot using interaction forces for intuitive overground human-robot interaction
"Effective and intuitive physical human robot interaction (pHRI) requires an understanding of how humans communicate movement intentions with one another. It has been suggested that humans can guide another human by hand through complex tasks using force information only. However, no clear and …

Effect of Textured Insoles on Gait Variability During Continous Overground Walking in Older Adult Fallers and Non-Fallers
… with the FSI of stride time during continuous overground walking in older adult fallers and to compare these results to a healthy group of older adult non-fallers. Group differences were found with respect to mean step- and stride time. No significant differences were found for step- and stride …

Analysis of human locomotion via entrainment to mechanical perturbations to the ankle during both treadmill and overground walking
… perturbations at the ankle in both treadmill and overground environments. Experiments with unimpaired human subjects provided direct behavioral evidence of the non-negligible contribution to human walking made by a limit-cycle oscillator in the spinal neuro-mechanical periphery. Entrainment was …

The effect of privatisation of British railways on the satisfaction levels of passengers: a case study of London overground
… the impact of rail privatisation of London Overground on passengers’ satisfaction in the rail service by collecting and analysing primary data from 150 passengers and 50 staff of London Overground. Data was collected and analysed to test the research framework and research hypotheses …

Automatic data for applied railway management : passenger demand, service quality measurement, and tactical planning on the London Overground Network
… rapidly growing, largely circumferential London Overground network in London, England. A case study documents how a tactical planning intervention on the Overground network was influenced by the application of these methods, and evaluates the outcomes of this intervention. The proposed analytical …

DEVELOPMENT OF A ROBOTIC EXOSKELETON SYSTEM FOR GAIT REHABILITATION
… exoskeleton system aiming at providing overground gait rehabilitation training to sub-acute and chronic stroke patients at home and outpatient setting. The exoskeleton robotic system consists of a knee joint and an ankle joint, which is wearable, lightweight and in modular design. The …

Effect of soccer match-play on markers of anterior cruciate ligament injury risk
… ACL injury risk. First, 45 min treadmill versus overground match-play simulations were evaluated for external validity by observing physiological responses and key biomechanical and muscular strength related markers of ACL injury risk. Generally, overground simulations demonstrated physiological …

Self-paced treadmill as a rehabilitation tool for recovering functional gait in people with stroke
… speed) training can be used to simulate an overground community walking experience with the potential to train more complex walking skills such as speed adaptation, obstacle avoidance and dual tasking which are essential components of successful independent community walking. The electrical …

Design, implementation and validation of an exoskeletal robot for locomotion studies in rodents
… the animal was compared with movement with the overground robot attached. The compact, overground design and backdrivable implementation of this robot allow novel experiments that involve open-space, free (or interactive) locomotion of the animal.

The kinetics, kinematics and energy requirements of distance running: Implications for footwear design
… 3-D kinematic differences between treadmill and overground running, in order to determine whether the treadmill replicates overground running and whether different footwear is necessary during treadmill running. It was observed specifically that treadmill running was associated with significant …

Biomechanical and Neural Factors Associated with Gait Dysfunction and Freezing in People with Parkinson Disease
… correlations between a measure of gait function: overground walking velocity) and brain activation such that those with higher brain activity exhibited better gait function.</p><p>In experiment 3: chapter 4), we investigated the neural underpinnings of freezing of gait. Specifically, we looked at …

Kinematics of the equine axial skeleton during aqua-treadmill exercise
… to make comparisons to previously published overground data. Effective schooling of horses overground includes training aids, such as side reins, to constructively develop a horse’s way of going and often to assist the horse in maintaining concentration. This provided a further opportunity …

Non-Treadmill Trip Training – Laboratory Efficacy, Validation of Inertial Measurement Units, and Tripping Kinematics in the Real World
… capture (OMC)-based trunk kinematics after overground trips among community-dwelling older adults. During two laboratory-induced trips, participants wore two IMUs placed on the sternum and shoulder, and OMC markers placed at anatomical landmarks of the trunk segment. Results showed that …

Wheelchair Training Program for New Manual Wheelchair Users
… its use in simulating different surfaces (i.e., overground and ramps) and assessing propulsion variables that can be used for training new wheelchair users. We identified that the WMS has the ability to accurately simulate flat overground movement; however, the accuracy of the WMS was poor in …

Weighted running: Effect on impact and oxygen consumption
… wearing 30% added trunk weight. Runners ran overground at a self-selected pace with and without 30% added trunk weight. Impact magnitudes and other force parameters were analyzed. Runners also ran on a treadmill with 30% added trunk weight at their preferred stride frequency (PSF) and at …
