Festinating gait is one of the most commonly seen motor symptoms of Parkinson's Disease patients. In this research, an accelerometer-based sensing system implemented on a vest is used to detect the behavior of festinating gait. The detection algorithm is based on the analysis of gait symmetry from the data measured by accelerometers. Specific indices were proposed to evaluate the severity of festinating...
Wearable devices are being used in an expanding range of daily life applications, automatically recording data for extraction and analysis. This paper develops a real time wearable multi-posture sensing system, using six tri-axial accelerometers to detect four frequent posture types to provide the user with realtime, longitudinal posture monitoring for therapeutic purposes.
In this study, we hypothesized that the static standing weight bearing steadiness and dynamic walking weight shifting stability could be improved by providing neuromuscular facilitation using subsensory stimulation and visual-auditory biofeedback in amputee respectively. To test this hypothesis, a computer protocol with sensory feedback neuromuscular facilitation system was developed and used for...
