The field of exoskeletons and assistive orthotic devices is a multidisciplinary issue in the halfway between medicine and robotics. Within the robotic discipline, bipedal robot gaits are generated as a function of parameters such as stride length, foot clearance and body height. These features allow to adapt the gait to different surface characteristics. However, biped robot gaits do not look a...

Gait sequence analysis from the input binary silhouettes, has various applications, such as person identification, human action recognition, event recognition and classification. The gait feature extraction is a key step in gait analysis. The ’Topic Model’, used for text classification, is one of the potential semantic approaches to study gait sequence analysis. The proposed algorithm uses Late...

To develop an index of gait instability from electromyographic information, we made observations on infants from the time they first began to walk independently at about one year of age until around three years of age. From our findings we obtained the following criteria. (1) Very unstable gait: As seen in a child within the first month of learning to walk the vastus medialis is active in the l...

An estimated three million insect species all walk using variations of the alternating tripod gait [1]. At any one time, these animals hold one stable triangle of legs steady while swinging the opposite triangle forward. Here, we report the discovery that three different flightless desert dung beetles use an additional gallop-like gait, which has never been described in any insect before. Like ...

BACKGROUND Preventing and rehabilitating gait disorders in people with dementia during early disease stage is of high importance for staying independent and ambulating safely. However, the evidence gathered in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effectiveness of exercise training for improving spatio-temporal gait parameters in people with dementia is scarce. The aim of the present study...
