Kinematic and Gait Analysis Implementation of an Experimental Radially Symmetric Six-Legged Walking Robot
As a robot could be stable statically standing on three or more legs, a six legged walking robot can be highly flexible in movements and perform different missions without dealing with serious kinematic and dynamic problems. An experimental six legged walking robot with 18 degrees of freedom is studied and built in this paper. The kinematic and gait analysis formulations are demonstrated by an e...
متن کاملInstrumented gait assessment with a single wearable : an introductory tutorial
Gait is a powerful tool to identify ageing and track disease Background progression. Yet, its high resolution measurement via traditional instruments remains restricted to the laboratory or bespoke clinical facilities. The potential for that to change is due to the advances in wearables where the synergy between devices and smart algorithms has provided the potential of ‘a gait lab on a chip’. ...
متن کاملSit to Stand Transfer Assisting by an Intelligent Walking-Aid
The sit to transfer assisting for elderly patients using an intelligent walkingaid is presented. This assistive device provides physical support to aid elderly with physical impairment during both the walk and the sit-to-stand transfer. In this paper, we will focus on the sit-to-stand transfer function and more precisely on the trajectory generation of the assistive device handles using interpo...
متن کاملA new approach to retrain gait in stroke patients through body weight support and treadmill stimulation.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A new gait training strategy for patients with stroke proposes to support a percentage of the patient's body weight while retraining gait on a treadmill. This research project intended to compare the effects of gait training with body weight support (BWS) and with no body weight support (no-BWS) on clinical outcome measures for patients with stroke. METHODS One hundred ...
متن کاملInfluence of a walking aid on temporal and spatial parameters of gait in healthy adults.
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of using a walking aid on temporal and spatial parameters of gait when used for balance versus support on the dominant and nondominant hand side. DESIGN Repeated measures observational study design. SETTING University gymnasium. PARTICIPANTS Twenty-seven healthy male and female adults of mean ± standard deviation age 44.74 ± 10.00 years. METHODS Five wa...
