Prediction of Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease Using Statistical Inference and Lower–Limb Acceleration Data
Author(s)3: Nader Naghavi, Eric Wade
Prediction of Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease Using Statistical Inference and Lower–Limb Acceleration Data 1024 371 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

The freezing of gait (FoG) is a common type of motor dysfunction in advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD) associated with falls. Over the last decade, a significant amount of studies has…

Systematic Variation of Prosthetic Foot Spring Affects Center-of-Mass Mechanics and Metabolic Cost During Walking
Author(s)3: Karl E. Zelik, Steven H. Collins, Peter G. Adamczyk, Ava D. Segal, Glenn K. Klute, David C. Morgenroth, Michael E. Hahn, Michael S. Orendurff, Joseph M. Czerniecki, Arthur D. Kuo
Systematic Variation of Prosthetic Foot Spring Affects Center-of-Mass Mechanics and Metabolic Cost During Walking 1264 855 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Lower-limb amputees expend more energy to walk than non-amputees and have an elevated risk of secondary disabilities. Insufficient push-off by the prosthetic foot may be a contributing factor. We aimed…

Performance Evaluation of Lower Limb Exoskeletons: A Systematic Review
Author(s)3: David Pinto-Fernandez, Diego Torricelli, Maria del Carmen Sanchez-Villamanan, Felix Aller, Katja Mombaur, Roberto Conti, Nicola Vitiello, Juan C. Moreno, Jose Luis Pons
Performance Evaluation of Lower Limb Exoskeletons: A Systematic Review 776 655 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Benchmarks have long been used to verify and compare the readiness level of different technologies in many application domains. In the field of wearable robots, the lack of a recognized benchmarking methodology is one important impediment that may hamper the efficient translation of research prototypes into actual products. read more

Mechanisms of Gait Asymmetry Due to Push-Off Deficiency in Unilateral Amputees
Author(s)3: Peter Gabriel Adamczyk, Arthur D. Kuo
Mechanisms of Gait Asymmetry Due to Push-Off Deficiency in Unilateral Amputees 780 705 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Unilateral lower-limb amputees exhibit asymmetry in many gait features, such as ground force, step time, step length, and joint mechanics. Although these asymmetries result from weak prosthetic-side push-off, there is…
