To investigate which anthropometric adiposity measure has the strongest association with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in Caucasian men and women without a history of CVD. Systematic review meta-analysis. We searched databases for studies reporting correlations between measures CVD subjects Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio body fat percentage were considered measures. Primary were: systolic blood pressure, diastolic high...
Only few studies have looked at electromyography (EMG) during prosthetic gait. Differences in EMG between normal and gait for stance swing phase were never separately analyzed. These differences can give valuable information if how muscle activity changes In this study of the upper leg muscles six transfemoral amputees, measured inside their own socket, was compared to that five controls. On off timings determined together with level co-activity inter-subject variability. Gait amputees...
Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) devices are used in rehabilitation to improve patients' walking function. While there some reports on adverse events and associated risks overground exoskeletons, the of stationary trainers cannot be accurately assessed. We therefore aimed collect information occurring during use robots identify as well gaps needs for safe these devices. searched both bibliographic full-text literature databases peer-reviewed articles describing outcomes RAGT specifically...
Proportional control using surface electromyography (EMG) enables more intuitive of a transfemoral prosthesis. However, EMG is noisy signal which can vary over time, giving rise to the question what approach for knee torque estimation most suitable multi-day control. In this study we compared three different modelling frameworks estimate in non-weight-bearing situations. The first model contained convolutional neural network (CNN) mapped directly. second used neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) EMG,...
Objective: To study the influence of a transition from non-microprocessor controlled to Rheo Knee ® II on quality life, balance confidence and measures mobility. Design: Randomised crossover trial. Setting: Research department rehabilitation centre. Subjects: Persons with transfemoral amputation or knee disarticulation ( n=10). Interventions: Participants were assessed their own II. The low-profile Vari-Flex EVO foot was installed in both conditions, followed by eight weeks acclimatisation....
Recent studies on ankle exoskeletons have shown the feasibility of this technology for post-stroke gait rehabilitation. The main contribution present work is a comprehensive experimental analysis and protocol that focused evaluating wide range biomechanical, usability users' perception metrics under three different walking conditions: without exoskeleton, with an exoskeleton unpowered, powered. To carry out study, we developed ABLE-S can provide time-adapted plantarflexion dorsiflexion...
Choosing the right features is important to optimize lower limb pattern recognition, such as in prosthetic control. EMG signals are noisy nature, which makes it more challenging extract useful information. Many used literature, raises question most suited for use myoelectric Therefore, find combinations of best performing features. One way achieve this by using a genetic algorithm, meta-heuristic capable searching vast feature spaces. The goal research demonstrate capabilities algorithm and...
This exploratory study examined the effect of functional electrical stimulation hamstrings on knee kine matics and walking speed in 16 chronic stroke survivors with a stiff gait.Participants were mea sured before after 5 weeks training func tional stimulation.There was an increase peak flexion swing phase period, while stimu lation.Participants low neurological impairment responded better to hamstring stimulation, there are indications that can be predicted during single session.The is...
Abstract Background Recovery of walking ability is an important goal for patients poststroke, and a basic level mobility critical early discharge home. Caregiver-mediated exercises could be resource-efficient strategy to augment exercise therapy improve in the first months poststroke. A combination telerehabilitation face-to-face support, blended care, may empower patient-caregiver dyads smoothen transition from professional support self-management. The Armed4Stroke study aims investigate...
This data descriptor describes the Roessingh Research & Development-MyLeg database for activity prediction (MyPredict), containing three sets. These sets contain from 55 able-bodied subjects, mean age 24 ± 2 years, measured in 85 measurement sessions. Measurement sessions consisted of trials sitting, standing, overground walking, stair ascent, descent, ramp walking on uneven terrain and simulated confined spaces. Subjects were using eight inertial units combination with different types sEMG....
Background Over activity of the rectus femoris is often cited as a main cause for stiff knee gait (SKG). Botulinum toxin (BoNT) can be used to reduce this over activity. Inconsistent results effect BoNT injections were found in literature which possibly explained by study design these uncontrolled or non-randomized studies. Objective To conduct randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigate botulinum type A (BoNT-A) on kinematics and functional outcome adult stroke patients. Methods...
Rehabilitation technology can be used to provide intensive training in the early phases after stroke. The current study aims assess feasibility of combining robotics and functional electrical stimulation (FES), with an assist-as-needed approach support actively-initiated leg movements (sub-)acute stroke patients.
Objective To assess the added value of caregiver-mediated exercises combined with telerehabilitation in addition to usual care compared alone on self-reported mobility outcome after subacute stroke. Design Multicentre, observer-blinded, parallel randomised controlled trial. An off-site researcher allocated treatments using minimisation. Setting Four rehabilitation centres Netherlands. Participants Forty-one patient–caregiver dyads within 3 months poststroke. Intervention Eight-week blended...
This study describes the software methodology designed for systematic benchmarking of bipedal systems through computation performance indicators from data collected during an experimentation stage. Under umbrella European project Eurobench, we approximately 30 protocols with related testbeds and scoring algorithms, aiming at characterizing performances humanoids, exoskeletons, and/or prosthesis under different conditions. The main challenge addressed in this concerns standardization process...
