TL;DR: The FES-UP proved feasible to use in three different clinical environments, with PwS who varied widely in their impairment levels and time since stroke, and Therapists and therapy assistants from a wide range of backgrounds, with varying degrees of computer and/or FES knowledge, were able to use the system without on-site technical support.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A Clinical Set-up Tool (CST) For Rapid Stimulator Programming
TL;DR: This paper presents an intuitive approach to the programming of functional electrical stimulation (FES) hardware using a USB-equipped stimulator that is created and modified via an easy-to-use interface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Closed-loop control of compression paddle motion to reduce blurring in mammograms
TL;DR: Paddle motion induced blur could be significantly reduced by implementing the proposed closed‐loop control of breast side paddle position, and the results obtained are based on simulation alone and indicate that closed‐ loop control of Breast Side paddle position dramatically reduced the settling time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of 3D dynamic interactions between backpack and bearer using accelerometers and gyroscopes
TL;DR: In this article, the dynamic pack interaction forces exerted on the bearer's torso relate directly to perceived discomfort, fatigue, and the risk of injury, e.g. ruckack palsy and back problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crowd-Sourced Amputee Gait Data: A Feasibility Study Using YouTube Videos of Unilateral Trans-Femoral Gait.
TL;DR: This work investigates the potential of YouTube videos to provide gait data on amputee walking, and uses an example dataset of trans-femoral amputees level walking at self-selected speeds to collect temporal gait parameters and calculate gait asymmetry.
