Ability to quantify and predict progression of a disease is fundamental for selecting an appropriate treatment. Many clinical metrics cannot be acquired frequently either because of their cost (e.g. MRI, gait analysis) or because they are inconvenient or harmful to a patient (e.g. biopsy, x-ray). In such scenarios, in …
Pre-trained model from healthy ADLs improves gait pattern classification for Parkinson's disease.
Gait event detection of the initial contact and toe off is essential for running gait analysis, allowing the derivation of parameters such as stance time. Heuristic-based methods exist to estimate these key gait events from tibial accelerometry. However, these methods are tailored to very specific acceleration profiles…
In quadruped gait learning, policy search methods that scale high dimensional continuous action spaces are commonly used. In most approaches, it is necessary to introduce prior knowledge on the gaits to limit the highly non-convex search space of the policies. In this work, we propose a new approach to encode the symme…
Compared to other biometrics, gait is difficult to conceal and has the advantage of being unobtrusive. Inertial sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, are often used to capture gait dynamics. These inertial sensors are commonly integrated into smartphones and are widely used by the average person, which makes …
Phone sensors could be useful in assessing changes in gait that occur with alcohol consumption. This study determined (1) feasibility of collecting gait-related data during drinking occasions in the natural environment, and (2) how gait-related features measured by phone sensors relate to estimated blood alcohol concen…
Gait is a person's natural walking style and a complex biological process that is unique to each person. Recently, the channel state information (CSI) of WiFi devices have been exploited to capture human gait biometrics for user identification. However, the performance of existing CSI-based gait identification systems …

The design of gaits for robot locomotion can be a daunting process which requires significant expert knowledge and engineering. This process is even more challenging for robots that do not have an accurate physical model, such as compliant or micro-scale robots. Data-driven gait optimization provides an automated alter…
The fact that every human has a distinctive walking style has prompted a proposal to use gait recognition as an identification criterion. Using end-to-end learning, I investigated whether the center-of-pressure trajectory is sufficiently unique to identify a person with a high certainty. Thirty-six adults walked on a t…

In this paper, we introduce a new gait segmentation method based on accelerometer data and develop a new distance function between two time series, showing novel and effectiveness in simultaneously identifying user and adversary. Comparing with the normally used Neural Network methods, our approaches use geometric feat…
Wi-Fi signals-based person identification attracts increasing attention in the booming Internet-of-Things era mainly due to its pervasiveness and passiveness. Most previous work applies gaits extracted from WiFi distortions caused by the person walking to achieve the identification. However, to extract useful gait, a p…
Freezing of gait (FoG) is a common gait disability in Parkinson's disease, that usually appears in its advanced stage. Freeze episodes are associated with falls, injuries, and psychological consequences, negatively affecting the patients' quality of life. For detecting FoG episodes automatically, a highly accurate dete…
