Background Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are essential for informed research and policymaking, yet they are typically resource-intensive and time-consuming. Recent advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning offer promising opportunities to streamline these processes. Objective To enhance the efficiency of systematic reviews, we...

Human gait analysis aims to assess gait mechanics and to identify the deviations from "normal" gait patterns by using meaningful parameters extracted from gait data. As each parameter indicates different gait characteristics, a proper combination of key parameters is required to perform an overall gait assessment. Therefore, in this study, we intro...

Fall risk assessment and fall detection are crucial for the prevention of adverse and long-term health outcomes. Wearable sensor systems have been used to assess fall risk and detect falls while providing additional meaningful information regarding gait characteristics. Commonly used wearable systems for this purpose are inertial measurement units...

Mobility is crucial for healthy aging. Any disruption to mobility can affect mental, physical and social health, and socio-economic independence. Therefore, studies in gait and lower-joint functionality with respect to different demographic features will play a vital role in maintaining good mobility. In this study, we analyzed a gait database from...

Wearable health monitoring devices allow for measuring physiological parameters without restricting individuals’ daily activities, providing information that is reflective of an individual’s health and well-being. However, these systems need to be accurate, power-efficient, unobtrusive and simple to use to enable a reliable, convenient, automatic a...

Maintaining good mobility with ease and freedom of movement is important for an individual’s health and active aging. The knee joint, being the primary bearer of the body weight, plays a vital role in mobility. Continuous monitoring of the knee joint can potentially provide important information related to knee health and mobility which can be used...

The loss of mobility among the elderly has become a significant health and socio-economic concern worldwide. Poor mobility due to gradual deterioration of the musculoskeletal system causes older adults to be more vulnerable to serious health risks such as joint injuries, bone fractures and traumatic brain injury. The costs associated with the treat...

The world's population is aging: the expansion of the older adult population with multiple physical and health issues is now a huge socioeconomic concern worldwide. Among these issues, the loss of mobility among older adults due to musculoskeletal disorders is especially serious as it has severe social, mental and physical consequences. Human body...
