Ubiquitous analysis of gait is a rapidly emerging field in which research and commercial development has been focused mainly on determining spatio-temporal parameters. In this preliminary research we have developed an algorithm to determine gait metrics from a shoe mounted accelerometer and compared them with concurrent kinematic data. Subjects were tested at different walking speeds as well as an...
Falls are among the most frequent occasions happening on elderly. Moreover, falls can cause fatal effect on them. One of the issues related to elderly health, which can incur falls, is the gait characteristics. Thus, it will be useful to set up a monitoring system for home-use to detect the gait characteristics of the elderly. With this daily monitoring system, the changes in gait characteristics,...
In this paper, we describe a method for controlling wearable walking support system which is referred to as wearable walking helper. In this method, the support moment for the userpsilas knee joint is calculated with an approximated human model and a part of it is supported by the prismatic actuator of Wearable Walking Helper. In the conventional control algorithm, we only considered to support the...
