Development and evaluation of a novel robotic platform for gait rehabilitation in patients with Cerebral Palsy: CPWalker
(Elsevier, 2017)
The term Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a set of neurological disorders that appear in infancy or early childhood and permanently affect body movement and muscle coordination. The prevalence of CP is two–three per 1000 births. ...
What does the literature say about using robots on children with disabilities?
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2017)
The purpose of this study is to examine the extent and type of robots used for the rehabilitation and education of children and young people with CP and ASD and the associated outcomes.
How do our students learn clinical engineering? A pilot study
(Springer Verlag, 2017)
This paper aims to measure what are the students’
perceived learning outcome achievements after finishing their
clinical engineering major courses. This is a pre- post-test with no
control group study design. Forty ...
Contribution of Bamboo for Vibratory Comfort in Biomechanics of Cycling
(Bentham Science Publishers B.V., 2017)
Vibrations in cycling produced by road irregularities could cause health problems and affect the cyclist’s comfort and performance. Therefore researchers and manufacturers focus their efforts to reduce the vibrations.
Acceptance of Global Positioning System (GPS) Technology Among Dementia Clients and Family Caregivers
(Routledge, 2017)
The purpose of this study was to examine the acceptance of Global Positioning System (GPS) used to help people with dementia, who are at risk for wandering in their communities. We used a mixed methods research approach ...
A human gait temporal parameters calculation algorithm
(Springer Verlag, 2017)
This paper presents a new algorithm to calculate three temporal parameters of human gait: cadence, swing time and stride time. These values are computed from: heel-strike time, toe-off time and mid-swing point time which ...
FE Model and Operational Modal Analysis of Lower Limbs
(MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2017)
Human lower limbs are exposed to vibrations on a daily basis, during work, transport or sports. However, most of the FE (Finite Elements) and OMA (Operational Modal Analysis) studies focus either on the whole body or on ...
Footwear influences soft-tissue vibrations in rearfoot strike runners
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2017)
Muscle activity is tuned in response to ground reaction
force to dampen soft-tissue vibrations (Wakeling, Von
Tscharner, Nigg, & Stergiou, 2001) during whole-body
vibrations (Wakeling, Nigg, & Rozitis, 2002) and ...
