چکیده
Multivariate gait data have traditionally been challenging to analyze. Part 1 of this review explored applications of fuzzy, multivariate statistical and fractal methods to gait data analysis. Part 2 extends this critical review to the applications of artificial neural networks and wavelets to gait data analysis. The review concludes with a practical guide to the selection of alternative gait data analysis methods. Neural networks are found to be the most prevalent non-traditional methodology for gait data analysis in the last 10 years. Interpretation of multiple gait signal interactions and quantitative comparisons of gait waveforms are identified as important data analysis topics in need of further research. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

This study investigated anecdotal reports of gait and balance abnormalities in subjects with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) by examining the effects of a light exercise test on postural sway and various gait parameters. Tests were performed on 11 CFS patients and 11 ageand sex-matched sedentary controls. Results demonstrated that postural sway was not significantly different in both groups befo...

This study analyses the reaction forces and variations of rock climbing in vertical and overhanging positions. Subjects voluntarily released their right foot and regained equilibrium. In the overhanging position the quadrupedal state was characterised by a significant involvement of the arms to prevent fall. Moreover, the horizontal forces applied to the holds were less important, which suggest...

The surface velocity of natural debris flows is one of the main physical parameters for developing effective disaster prevention techniques. The authors already presented the result of velocity vector field measurement of debris flow by the spatio temporal derivative space method. In this paper, we propose a multi resolution spatio temporal derivative space method, and apply the method to some ...

Most of shape memory alloys are functional intermetallics. They are now practically being used for couplings, actuators, medical guide wires etc., and are hopeful candidates for smart materials, which already exist. In the present paper, recent developments within nearly 10 years on shape memory alloys and martensitic: transformations, on which shape memory eect and superelasticity are based, ...
متن کاملA note on the MST heuristic for bounded edge-length Steiner trees with minimum number of Steiner points
We give a tight analysis of the MST heuristic recently introduced by G.-H. Lin and G. Xue for approximating the Steiner tree with minimum number of Steiner points and bounded edge-lengths. The approximation factor of the heuristic is shown to be one less than the MST number of the underlying space, de ned as the maximum possible degree of a minimum-degree MST spanning points from the space. In ...
