An interdisciplinary team led by University of Massachusetts Amherst researchers has been awarded $1.14 million over four years by the National Institutes of Health to develop a revolutionary way of tracking body movements, with a primary application in stroke survivors' rehabilitation and huge potential for future applications across a wide range of disciplines, health-related and beyond.
UMass Amherst research team-built AI algorithm accurately processes data on kinetic parameters, monitor gait of patients with mobility impairments.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst has created a low-cost shoe insole containing force-sensitive resistors (FSR) that intends to enhance the treatment of mobility-impairing health problems such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and osteoarthritis.
The insole “measures two important kinetic parameters that are relevant to how people walk; that is, the ground reaction force (GRF) and center of pressure (CoP),” says lead investigator Sunghoon Ivan Lee , assistant professor in the Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences .
Using Your Skin to Charge a Wearable Device? Wearable technologies, such as smartwatches, have grown in popularity in the last few years, largely because of the health monitoring features they offer to users. In fact, economists say the wearable technology market may nearly triple over the next few years, driven in part by a growing focus on personal health brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. According to researchers at the University of Massachusetts -- Amherst, however, wearable technologies have some limitations in their current configurations. Chief among those limitations is the nee...
