The effect of arch height on kinematic coupling during walking.
The purpose of the current study was to assess kinematic coupling within the foot in individuals across a range of arch heights. Seventeen subjects participated in this study. Weight-bearing lateral radiographs were used to measure the arch height, defined as angle between the 1st metatarsal and the calcaneus. A kinematic model including the 1st metatarsal, lateral forefoot, calcaneus and tibia...
متن کاملMeasuring height in recumbent critical care patients.
BACKGROUND Estimates of the height of patients in the intensive care unit are required to adhere to clinical guidelines for drug dosages, ventilatory support, and nutrition. The gold standard of standing height cannot be used because these patients are often unconscious and recumbent. The ability of physiotherapists or dietitians to measure height in unconscious, recumbent patients has not been...
متن کاملDesign of an Active Walking-aid for Elderly People
This paper describes the preliminary design of a light, high stability, robotic system for elderly assistance. The mechanisms used for such assisting devices must exhibit complex mechanical functions that may change during the use. The design has also to be adapted to the morphology and/or pathology. Taking these constraints into account, the design of a robotic walker is presented which provid...
متن کاملA Navigation Aid for Blind People with Walking Disabilities
Many blind people require travel aids to navigate in unknown environments. However, the majority of the corresponding devices are not designed for people with walking disabilities. In this paper, we present a smart walker that does not only provide walking assistance but also enables blind users with mobility impairment to avoid obstacles. By leveraging existing robotics technologies, our syste...
متن کاملHierarchical Shared Control of Cane-Type Walking-Aid Robot
A hierarchical shared-control method of the walking-aid robot for both human motion intention recognition and the obstacle emergency-avoidance method based on artificial potential field (APF) is proposed in this paper. The human motion intention is obtained from the interaction force measurements of the sensory system composed of 4 force-sensing registers (FSR) and a torque sensor. Meanwhile, a...
