Cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) and spinal cord injuries (SCI) are the most common causes of paralysis and paresis with reported prevalence of 12,000 cases per million and 800 cases per million, respectively. Disabilities that follow CVA (hemiplegia) or SCI (paraplegia, tetraplegia) severely impair motor functions (e.g., standing, walking, reaching and grasping) and thereby prevent the affected individuals...
Our aging society in industrialised countries is not only characterised by higher age and better health in general, but in age related capabilities and handicaps often based on chronic diseases and functional losses. Additionally multimorbidity can lead to functional losses followed by handicaps and disabilities. In consequence the elderly person can suffer from immobility, social isolation and depression...
The authors have developed a diagnostic algorithm to facilitate the design and optimization of a human locomotion system. The analysis enables the kinematic gait characteristics of a human gait device to be adjusted in order to enable the micmicking of a range of gaits during motion, thus allowing patient-initiated -patterns to be completed or refined. The paper addresses the diagnostic procedures...
