Fall Risk Prediction Using Instrumented Footwear in Institutionalized Older Adults

Fall Risk Prediction Using Instrumented Footwear in Institutionalized Older Adults 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
This study presents a novel framework that utilizes instrumented footwear to predict fall risk in institutionalized older adults by leveraging stride-to-stride gait data. The older adults are categorized into fallers… read more

Neuromuscular Mechanisms of Motor Adaptation to Repeated Treadmill-Slip Perturbations During Stance in Healthy Young Adults

Neuromuscular Mechanisms of Motor Adaptation to Repeated Treadmill-Slip Perturbations During Stance in Healthy Young Adults 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Treadmill-based repeated perturbation training (PBT) induces motor adaptation in reactive balance responses, thus lowering the risk of slip-induced falls. However, little evidence exists regarding intervention-induced changes in neuromuscular control underlying… read more

An Ensemble Learning Algorithm for Cognitive Evaluation by an Immersive Virtual Reality Supermarket

An Ensemble Learning Algorithm for Cognitive Evaluation by an Immersive Virtual Reality Supermarket 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Early screening for Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is crucial in delaying cognitive deterioration and treating dementia. Conventional neuropsychological tests, commonly used for MCI detection, often lack ecological validity due to… read more

Machine-Learning-Based Prediction of Photobiomodulation Effects on Older Adults With Cognitive Decline Using Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

Machine-Learning-Based Prediction of Photobiomodulation Effects on Older Adults With Cognitive Decline Using Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) has been widely studied for its potential to enhance cognitive functions of the elderly. However, its efficacy varies, with some individuals exhibiting no significant response to the… read more
