▼ Fall accidents are one of the most serious problems leading to unintentional injuries and fatalities among older adults. However, it is difficult to assess individuals' fall risk and to determine who are at risk of falls and in need of fall interventions. Therefore, this study was motivated by a need to provide a cogent fall risk assessment strategy that may be conducive to various wireless platforms. It aimed at developing a fall risk assessment method for evaluating individuals' fall risk by providing diagnostic modalities associated with gait. In this study, a "determinants of gait" model was adopted to analyze gait characteristics and associate them with fall risk. As a proof of concept, this study concentrated on slip-induced falls and the slip initiation risks. Two important parameters of determinants of gait, i.e. the pelvic rotation and the knee flexion, were found to be associated with slip initiation severity. This relationship appeared to be capable of differentiating fallers and non-fallers within older adults, as well as differentiating normal walking conditions and constrained walking conditions. Furthermore, this study also leveraged portable wireless sensor techniques and investigated if miniature inertial measurement units could effectively measure the important parameters of determinants of gait, and therefore assess slip and fall risk. Results in this study suggested that pelvic rotation and knee flexion measured by the inertial measurement units can be used as a substitution of the traditional motion capture system and can assess slip and fall risk with fairly good accuracy. As a summary, findings of this study filled the knowledge gap about how critical gait characteristics can influence slip and fall risk, and demonstrated a new solution to assess slip and fall risk with low cost and high efficiency.

M.Ing.

The Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) has been in the gaming industry for several years now. Of late though programmers and scientists have started to use the parallel processing or stream processing capabilities of the GPU in general numerical applications. The Monte Carlo method is a processing intensive methods, as it evaluates systems with stochastic components. The stochastic components require several iterations of the systems to develop an idea of how the systems reacts to the stochastic inputs. The stream processing capabilities of GPUs are used for the analysis of such systems. Evaluating low-cost Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) for utilisation in Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) is a processing intensive process. The non-deterministic or stochastic error components of the IMUs output signal requires multiple simulation runs to properly evaluate the IMUs performance when applied as input to an INS. The GPU makes use of stream processing, which allows simultaneous execution of the same algorithm on multiple data sets. Accordingly Monte Carlo techniques are applied to create trajectories for multiple possible outputs of the INS based on stochastically varying inputs from the IMU. The processing power of the GPU allows simultaneous Monte Carlo analysis of several IMUs. Each IMU requires a sensor error model, which entails calibration of each IMU to obtain numerical values for the main error sources of lowcost IMUs namely scale factor, non-orthogonality, bias, random walk and white noise. Three low-cost MEMS IMUs was calibrated to obtain numerical values for their sensor error models. Simultaneous Monte Carlo analysis of each of the IMUs is then done on the GPU with a resulting circular error probability plot. The circular error probability indicates the accuracy and precision of each IMU relative to a reference trajectory and the other IMUs trajectories. Results obtained indicate the GPU to be an alternative processing platform, for large amounts of data, to that of the CPU. Monte Carlo simulations on the GPU was performed 200 % faster than Monte Carlo simulations on the CPU. Results obtained from the Monte Carlo simulations, indicated the Random Walk error to be the main source of error in low-cost IMUs. The CEP results was used to determine the e ect of the various error sources on the INS output.

La navigation par système inertiel strapdown est aujourd’hui la plus répandue. L’architecture est bien connue et a été très largement améliorée au cours des dernières décennies. Néanmoins, le principe fondamental n’a subi de bouleversement et reste constitué d’une triplette d’accéléromètres et de gyromètres permettant de revenir aux informations d’attitude et de cap.La précision de l’estimation de position repose principalement sur la gamme de performance des capteurs utilisés. En particulier, des applications telles que des lanceurs spatiaux requièrent une très haute précision et des capteurs d’une technologie éprouvée sont utilisés. L’arrivée sur le marché de capteurs inertiels MEMS de haute précision ouvre une alternative à coût réduits couplée à une réduction de masse, volume et de consommation. Les moyens de production des MEMS ainsi qu’une meilleure connaissance des propriétés des matériaux ont permis l’arrivée d’accéléromètres MEMS pouvant rivaliser avec les technologies éprouvées de gamme tactique. Toutefois, les gyromètres de technologie MEMS existantes restent dans une gamme de performance de type industrielle.La présente étude vise à analyser la possibilité d’utiliser des accéléromètres de haute précision pour améliorer les performances gyrométriques, dans l’objectif de réaliser une solution tout MEMS d’unité de mesure inertielle. Une brève introduction sur les techniques de filtrage de Kalman pour la fusion de données est présentée, ainsi que son implémentation pour notre étude. L’analyse théorique se poursuit avec une présentation des résultats expérimentaux.L’étude conclut que l’utilisation d’une paire d’accéléromètres de haute performance et d’un gyroscope de type consommateur permet d’atteindre les performances d’un gyromètre tactique. Les contraintes de définition et de mesure pour l’implémentation du système sont présentées en détail.Cette étude est menée pour la mesure angulaire autour d’un axe unique de rotation, un complément d’étude est nécessaire à l’extrapolation de cette approche pour une mesure générique en 3D.

Strapdown inertial navigation units are the most popular systems used for navigation. The system architecture is well established and has been extensively improved over the past decades. However, the core idea remains same where a triad of accelerometers and gyroscopes provide the attitude and heading information.The accuracy of the position estimate depends on the performance grade of the sensors employed. For applications like space launchers requiring very high accuracy, high-grade devices using traditional technologies are used. The advent of accurate MEMS based sensors offer an exciting low-cost alternative with expected reduction in size and power consumption. MEMS fabrication technology, assisted by improved understanding of material properties have led to accelerometers that can compete with traditional devices for tactical applications. However, the MEMS based solutions currently available for gyroscopes can replace only industrial grade applications.This study attempts to…

▼ Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are a popular option for human movement analysis. The untethered, self-contained nature of IMUs overcomes many limitations of conventional measurement systems. The potential of IMU systems makes it worthwhile to pursue clinical and research use. However, IMUs have not proven to be sufficiently reliable or valid. Two barriers facing IMU-based joint kinematics are: (i) the misaligned, unique reference frames of each IMU in the system, hindering joint angle calculation, and (ii) anatomical calibration accuracy and reproducibility, hindering the anatomical relevance of joint angles. A comparison of available methods would help to understand and overcome the current barriers preventing IMU use. The present thesis aimed to provide these comparisons. Several methods have been proposed to align coordinate frames. Three methods were compared mathematically and experimentally. The equivalency of all methods was proved mathematically. Experimentally, all three methods were equivalent (<2° different) in two applications relevant to biomechanics (finding a common IMU reference frame and comparing the IMU orientation to a marker-based orientation). Several methods have also been proposed to find anatomically relevant axes of the lower limb body segments. The joint angles from five methods were compared using the joint angles of a marker-based method as reference. The methods were used for the hip, knee and ankle joint, if they were applicable. The joint angles from three of the methods were similar, while two methods had some joint angles that differed, primarily by a bias. The two dissimilar methods relied on static-normalization, which caused the errors, particularly in the transverse plane angles. Drift (degradation of IMU accuracy over time) between trials was the problem affecting the static-normalization, so it was the IMU sensor fusion and not the method itself that was the cause of dissimilarity. Further research is required to recommend one method for future use. Overall, current methods performed similarly in both methodological options, suggesting that current research is reaching a plateau in improvements. Further research in reliability and agreement is required to understand the strengths, weaknesses and fields of improvement required for research and clinical use of IMUs in human movement analysis.

▼ Current physiotherapy practice relies on visual observation of the patient for diagnosis and assessment. The assessment process can potentially be automated to improve accuracy and reliability. This thesis proposes a method to recover patient joint angles and automatically extract movement profiles utilizing small and lightweight body-worn sensors. Joint angles are estimated from sensor measurements via the extended Kalman filter (EKF). Constant-acceleration kinematics is employed as the state evolution model. The forward kinematics of the body is utilized as the measurement model. The state and measurement models are used to estimate the position, velocity and acceleration of each joint, updated based on the sensor inputs from inertial measurement units (IMUs). Additional joint limit constraints are imposed to reduce drift, and an automated approach is developed for estimating and adapting the process noise during on-line estimation. Once joint angles are determined, the exercise data is segmented to identify each of the repetitions. This process of identifying when a particular repetition begins and ends allows the physiotherapist to obtain useful metrics such as the number of repetitions performed, or the time required to complete each repetition. A feature-guided hidden Markov model (HMM) based algorithm is developed for performing the segmentation. In a sequence of unlabelled data, motion segment candidates are found by scanning the data for velocity-based features, such as velocity peaks and zero crossings, which match the pre-determined motion templates. These segment potentials are passed into the HMM for template matching. This two-tier approach combines the speed of a velocity feature based approach, which only requires the data to be differentiated, with the accuracy of the more computationally-heavy HMM, allowing for fast and accurate segmentation. The proposed algorithms were verified experimentally on a dataset consisting of 20 healthy subjects performing rehabilitation exercises. The movement data was collected by IMUs strapped onto the hip, thigh and calf. The joint angle estimation system achieves an overall average RMS error of 4.27 cm, when compared against motion capture data. The segmentation algorithm reports 78% accuracy when the template training data comes from the same participant, and 74% for a generic template.

▼ In the human control of motor vehicles, there are situations regularly encountered wherein the vehicle operator becomes drowsy and fatigued due to the influence of long work days, long driving hours, or low amounts of sleep. Although various methods are currently proposed to detect drowsiness in the operator, they are either obtrusive, expensive, or otherwise impractical. The method of drowsy driving detection through the collection of Steering Wheel Movement (SWM) signals has become an important measure as it lends itself to accurate, effective, and cost-effective drowsiness detection. In this dissertation, novel technologies for drowsiness detection using Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) are investigated and described. IMUs are an umbrella group of kinetic sensors (including accelerometers and gyroscopes) which transduce physical motions into data. Driving performances were recorded using IMUs as the primary sensors, and the resulting data were used by artificial intelligence algorithms, specifically Support Vector Machines (SVMs) to determine whether or not the individual was still fit to operate a motor vehicle. Results demonstrated high accuracy of the method in classifying drowsiness. It was also shown that the use of a smartphone-based approach to IMU monitoring of drowsiness will result in the initiation of feedback mechanisms upon a positive detection of drowsiness. These feedback mechanisms are intended to notify the driver of their drowsy state, and to dissuade further driving which could lead to crashes and/or fatalities. The novel methods not only demonstrated the ability to qualitatively determine a drivers drowsy state, but they were also low-cost, easy to implement, and unobtrusive to drivers. The efficacy, ease of use, and ease of access to these methods could potentially eliminate many barriers to the implementation of the technologies. Ultimately, it is hoped that these findings will help enhance traveler safety and prevent deaths and injuries to users. Advisors/Committee Members: Ding-Yu Fei.

▼ Running is a common form of exercise enjoyed throughout the world. Unfortunately, it poses a significant risk of injury, as up to 70% of runners suffer an overuse injury within a one-year period. Previous research indicates that three overarching factors contribute to overuse injuries in running – dosage, morphology, and movement patterns; however, the threshold of these three factors combining to result in injury is specific to each athlete, and not well understood. To aid future research of overuse injuries, we conducted two studies using three different measurement modalities. In the first study, we used Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) to monitor gait features of participants running on a treadmill. Using statistical parametric mapping of IMU signals, the system detected changes in strike pattern, stride length, bouncing gait, and genu valgus gait. With further validation and refinement, this system would allow for monitoring of these gait features in the wild, giving researchers greater insight into the development of overuse injuries. The second study was a pilot study, in which we investigated motion of the tibia and relative motion of the talus and calcaneus with respect to the tibia during a hopping motion. We found that internal rotation of the talus after impact leads the internal rotation of the tibia. This grants plausibility to the theory of tibiotalar coupling – that internal rotation of the tibia is driven by that of the talus. After approximately 20% of stance, the talus moves into external rotation with respect to the tibia, and we hypothesize that it acts as a buffer to allow rotational independence between the rearfoot and tibia. Additionally, this study highlighted the inherent inter-subject variability in biomechanics studies. We have shown that there is benefit and necessity in subject-specific analysis over population-wide conclusions in biomechanics. Finally, we discuss the implications of both studies to the future of overuse injury research. The research presented is a first step toward more comprehensive studies into overuse injury etiology. Using the approaches described, researchers may be able to use a combination of measurement modalities to encompass dosage, morphology, and movement patterns in a large-scale, prospective overuse injury study.

▼ Disorders of the locomotor apparatus are very common in sports horses. Pain and dysfunction associated with these conditions have a negative impact on horse welfare. The main component in lameness evaluation is detection of vertical movement asymmetries but the inter-rater agreement among veterinarians is low. Therefore, modern methods of detection and quantification of movement asymmetry have been developed. The aim of this thesis was to help improve equine welfare by providing a better scientific basis for interpretation of movement asymmetries. This could support riders and veterinarians in detecting lameness at an early stage and improve orthopaedic diagnostics. To investigate a possible association between movement asymmetry and presence of painful orthopaedic conditions, NSAID (meloxicam) treatment was performed in asymmetrically moving, but presumed sound horses. Interestingly, this did not decrease the magnitude of asymmetry. Other reasons for asymmetric movement and the clinical efficacy of treatment with meloxicam in relation to a potentially present pathology therefore need to be addressed. The influence of the rider’s seating style on vertical movement symmetry in trot was evaluated in 26 horses. ‘Rising trot’ induced systematic changes, the most prominent being a decreased pelvic rise, mimicking push-off lameness in the hindlimb of the diagonal on which the rider was sitting in ‘rising trot’. The potential of the relationship between the direction of head and withers movement asymmetry parameters to assist in locating the primary lame limb was investigated in horses with induced lameness. The findings were then verified in horses with naturally occurring lameness. The results showed that head and withers movement asymmetry parameters indicate the same forelimb in horses with forelimb lameness, but indicate opposite forelimbs in horses with hindlimb lameness and compensatory head movement asymmetry. The results presented in this thesis extend existing knowledge about the origin and significance of movement asymmetries in riding horses and compensatory mechanisms in lame horses

▼ Low back pain in collegiate athletes has been reported at a rate of 37% from a wide array of sports including soccer, volleyball, football, swimming, and baseball. Whereas, in a military population the prevalence of low back pain is 70% higher than the general population. Compensatory movement strategies are often used as an attempt to reduce pain. Though compensatory movement strategies may effectively reduce pain, they are often associated with altered lower extremity loading patterns. Those who suffer from chronic low back pain tend to walk and run slower and with less trunk and pelvis coordination and variability. Individuals with low back pain also tend to run with more stiffness in their knees. Moving with less joint coordination and more stiffness are potential compensatory movement patterns acting as a guarding mechanism for pain. Overall the purpose of this project was to determine how chronic low back pain influences lower extremity biomechanics and shock attenuation in active individuals compared to healthy individuals and examine how the altered lower extremity biomechanics are related to clinical outcome measures. We hypothesized that individuals who present with chronic low back pain are more likely to exhibit higher vertical ground reaction forces and less knee flexion excursion during landing, compared to healthy individuals. We also hypothesized that individuals with chronic low back pain will have a reduced ability to attenuate shock during landing compared to the healthy individuals. This study was a case control design in which physically active individuals suffering from chronic low back pain were matched to healthy controls. All participants reported for one testing session to assess self-perceived knee function in the form of the Knee Osteoarthritis Outcomes Score (KOOS), lower extremity strength and mechanics during three landing tasks. Isometric strength was assessed using an isokinetic dynamometer during hip abduction, hip extension, and knee extension. The landing tasks included a drop vertical jump, a single leg hop, and a crossover hop. A three-dimensional motion analysis system with two in-ground force plates and four inertial measurement units were used to assess lower extremity mechanics during the landing tasks. Individuals with low back pain presented with reduced KOOS scores compared to healthy individuals in four of the five subscales, including Symptoms (p=0.007), Pain (p=0.002), Activities of Daily Living (p=0.021), and Quality of Life (p=0.003). Alternatively, while there were some strength, kinematic, and kinetic between limb asymmetries noted in the low back pain group, there were not between group differences with the healthy individuals. In the low back pain group, individuals presented with greater dominant limb knee extension strength (p=0.039) and greater dominant limb ankle plantarflexion at initial contact during the drop vertical jump, compared to the non-dominant limb (p=0.022). Individuals with low back pain also presented with greater non-dominant limb tibia impact…

▼ The ability to change direction rapidly and efficiently is critical to team-sport performance, including Australian football (AF), where a player’s capacity to rapidly decelerate, move laterally and re-accelerate is critical when evading opponents, tackling, or reacting to the unpredictable bounce of the ball or movement of another player. The biomechanical loading requirements of change of direction (COD) movement are angle and velocity dependant. Cumulative COD movement can impart high levels of neuromuscular and metabolic fatigue which can adversely affect the efficiency of subsequent movement efforts. Despite widespread use of microtechnology devices (the vast majority containing a global navigation satellite system receiver and inertial sensors) in elite level team-sport, a valid solution to automatically detect COD events and quantify the associated biomechanical load of these movements on-field remains absent. This project served to develop an algorithm that can automatically detect COD events, quantify the angle of the COD event and quantify the associated biomechanical load of each COD event. Study 1 and 2 were primarily focused on assessing the validity and reliability of the detection and angle quantification portions of the algorithm in both structured (Study 1) and unstructured (Study 2) movement environments, whilst Study 3 introduced a COD biomechanical load quantification technique to profile the COD demands of match play and a variety of match simulation training drills, provide comparisons between playing positions, and assess any similarities or differences with existing proprietary locomotive metrics. Whilst both COD event detection and angle quantification were highly accurate in a structured environment (Study 1), the accuracy of the angle quantification was severely reduced during unstructured, match-simulation training (Study 2). Utilising the event detection and biomechanical load quantification portions of the algorithm together, without angle quantification, the COD demands of match play were significantly lower than three different training drill types when expressed relative to time, whilst several positional differences were also present in COD demands across an entire season (Study 3). Study one assessed the validity and reliability of a novel algorithm to automatically detect and calculate COD angle for pre-determined COD events ranging from 45° to 180° in both left and right directions. Five recreationally active males ran five consecutive predetermined COD trials each, at four different angles (45°, 90°, 135° and 180°) in each direction wearing a commercially available microtechnology unit (Optimeye S5, Catapult Innovations). Raw inertial sensor data were extracted, processed using our novel algorithm to calculate COD angle, and compared against a high-speed video (remotely piloted, position-locked drone aircraft) criterion measure. Concurrent validity was present for the following angles; (Left: 135°= 136.3 ± 2.1° and Right: 45°= 46.3 ± 1.6°; 135°= 133.4 ± 2.0°; 180°= 179.2 ± 5.9°)…

▼ Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are being recognized as a portable and cost-effective alternative to motion analysis systems and have the potential to be introduced into clinical settings for the assessment of functional movement quality of the spine in patients with low back pain. However, uncertainties regarding sensor accuracy and reliability are limiting the widespread use and acceptance of IMU-based assessments into routine clinical practice. The objective of this work was to assess the performance of inexpensive wearable IMUs (Mbientlab MetaMotionR IMUs; Mbientlab Inc., San Francisco, USA; product specifications available in Appendix C) relative to conventional optical motion capture equipment (Vicon Motion Systems Ltd., Oxford, UK) in: 1) a controlled environment, and 2) an uncontrolled environment. The first study evaluated the performance of 2 IMUs in a controlled environment during simulated repetitive spine motion carried out by means of a motorized gimbal. Root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute measurement differences between cycle-to-cycle minimum, maximum, and range of motion values, as well as correlational analyses within IMUs and between IMUs and Vicon, in all movement directions (i.e., simulated flexion-extension (FE), lateral bending (LB), and axial twisting (AT)), were compared. Measurement error was low in all axes during all tests (i.e., ≤ 1.54°); however, low-to-moderate correlational results were found in one non-primary axis, and this axis changed depending on the direction of the movement (i.e., LB during FE-motion (0.244 ≤ R ≤ 0.515), AT during LB-motion (0.594 ≤ R ≤ 0.795), and FE during AT-motion (0.002 ≤ R ≤ 0.255)). The second study was designed to assess the performance of the IMUs in an uncontrolled environment during repetitive spine FE in human participants. Absolute angles and local dynamic stability were compared for individual IMUs (which were placed over T10-T12 spinous processes, and the pelvis) as well as for relative motion between IMUs. Maximum finite-time Lyapunov exponents (λmax) were used to quantify local dynamic stability and were calculated using both FE and the sum of squares (SS) from measured spine kinematics. It was found that the IMUs have acceptable performance in all axes when tracking motion (RMSE ≤ 2.43°); however, low-to-moderate correlational results were found in one non-primary axis (0.987 ≤ RFE ≤ 0.998; 0.746 ≤ RLB ≤ 0.978; 0.343 ≤ RAT ≤ 0.679). In addition, correlations between λmax estimates were high; therefore, local dynamic stability can be accurately estimated using both FE and SS data (0.807 ≤ 〖ICC〗_2,1^FE ≤ 0.919; 0.738 ≤ 〖ICC〗_2,1^SS ≤ 0.868). Correlation between λmax estimates was higher when using FE data for individual sensors/rigid-body marker clusters; however, correlation was higher when using SS data for relative motion. In general, the results of these studies show that the MetaMotionR IMUs have acceptable performance in all axes when considering absolute angle orientation and motion tracking, and measurement of local…

▼ Si les neurosciences connaissent d’importants progrès dans l’imagerie et le génotypage, le phénotypage repose encore largement sur des échelles visuelles. Le phénotype chez l’homme repose principalement sur son style perceptivo-moteur qui donne une empreinte à la marche, la posture, l’équilibre, l’habilité des membres supérieurs, les mouvements oculaires etc. La marche, fonction complexe et fondamentale de l’être humain, implique l’ensemble du système musculo-squelettique, le système nerveux central et périphérique ainsi que les organes sensoriels. Elle est le produit d’un patron de marche automatique et inconscient modulé par le tronc cérébral, les noyaux gris centraux et par des retours sensitifs (visuels, proprioceptives, vestibulaires et épicritiques). Enfin, la marche est aussi sous contrôle volontaire. Le phénotypage quantitatif de la marche suppose la construction préalable de bases de données de signaux de marche d’un nombre élevé (centaines) de sujets et de patients. Ceci peut être mené à bien grâce à des outils de mesure simples d’utilisation et adaptés à la pratique médicale de routine. Il existe plusieurs moyens pour phénotyper la marche mais le capteur inertiel, en raison de son prix, de sa souplesse d’utilisation et de l’accès aux données brutes est un outil particulièrement adapté pour l’étude de la marche en consultation de routine. Les capteurs inertiels permettent le calcul de nombreux paramètres. L’exercice de marche de 10 m aller/retour à vitesse de confort départ arrêté donne accès aux différentes phases de la marche (initiation, croisière, demi-tour) dans des conditions de consultation de routine. Ainsi, l’objectif de ce travail est d’approcher les mécanismes d’adaptation des personnes à des perturbations à différents niveaux anatomiques des structures impliquées dans la marche. Nous abordons cette question par un phénotypage quantitatif à partir du signal de capteurs inertiels recueilli sur des patients au cours d’un exercice de marche de 10 m aller/retour en consultation clinique de routine. Nous avons étudié successivement la marche de patients atteints d’arthrose du membre inférieur comme modèle d’adaptation de la marche à la douleur, puis la marche dans la maladie de Parkinson comme modèle d’atteinte du système de la mise en place des procédures motrices, enfin, la locomotion des patients hémiparétiques à la suite d’un accident vasculaire cérébral hémisphérique comme modèle d’atteinte de la commande volontaire. Nous montrons que la douleur dans l’arthrose du membre inférieur mène à une rigidification globale de la cinématique corporelle. Cette rigidification est prépondérante sur le membre atteint. Elle traduit la perte des synergies musculaires par la mise en place de boucle-réflexe anti-douleur. Nous démontrons que ces modifications sont corrélées à la sévérité clinique de l’arthrose. Pour analyser la régularité de la marche dans la maladie de Parkinson indépendamment des variabilités inter-individuelles du patron de marche nous avons développé un outil de visualisation de l’exercice de… Advisors/Committee Members: Vidal, Pierre Paul (thesis director), Ricard, Damien (thesis director).

▼ Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among seniors worldwide, with serious and costly consequences. Compensatory balance responses (CBRs) are reactions to recover stability following a loss of balance, potentially resulting in a fall if sufficient recovery mechanisms are not activated. While performance of CBRs are demonstrated risk factors for falls in seniors, the frequency, type, and underlying cause of these incidents occurring in everyday life have not been well investigated. This study was spawned from the lack of research on development of fall risk assessment methods that can be used for continuous and long-term mobility monitoring of the geri- atric population, during activities of daily living, and in their dwellings. Wearable sensor systems (WSS) offer a promising approach for continuous real-time detection of gait and balance behavior to assess the risk of falling during activities of daily living. To detect CBRs, we record movement signals (e.g. acceleration) and activity patterns of four muscles involving in maintaining balance using wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs) and surface electromyography (sEMG) sensors. To develop more robust detection methods, we investigate machine learning approaches (e.g., support vector machines, neural networks) and successfully detect lateral CBRs, during normal gait with accuracies of 92.4% and 98.1% using sEMG and IMU signals, respectively. Moreover, to detect environmental fall-related hazards that are associated with CBRs, and affect balance control behavior of seniors, we employ an egocentric mobile vision system mounted on participants chest. Two algorithms (e.g. Gabor Barcodes and Convolutional Neural Networks) are developed. Our vision-based method detects 17 different classes of environmental risk factors (e.g., stairs, ramps, curbs) with 88.5% accuracy. To the best of the authors knowledge, this study is the first to develop and evaluate an automated vision-based method for fall hazard detection.

▼ Lower-limb prostheses feature a high-level control system, referred to as locomotion mode recognition (LMR), which enables seamless human-prosthesis-environment interactions. This dissertation has five aims to show the application of feature selection (FS), optimization, and sensor fusion for the development of optimal predictive LMR systems. Aim 1 is to develop a new hybrid evolutionary algorithm (EA) with enhanced exploration and exploitation abilities for optimizing the LMR design parameters. Our hybrid EA features three new components, including feature sharing among candidate solutions, local search via gradient descent, and random mutation and re-initialization. Statistical tests demonstrate the competitive performance of our method in comparison to 12 other optimization algorithms. Aim 2 is to investigate the application of an EA combined with filter and wrapper FS methods for building accurate LMR for transfemoral amputees while, at the same time, eliminating unneeded features. Experimental gait data collected from the residual limb is used to train various linear and nonlinear classifiers with optimally selected time- and frequency-domain features. Aim 3 is to find an optimal Pareto front, a set of equally preferable non-dominated feature subsets, using multi-objective optimization (MOO) to trade off between complexity and accuracy in LMR. We propose a new gradient-based multi-objective embedded FS method by incorporating an elastic net in multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network training. Our proposed method shows competitive performance compared to four variants of EA-based MOOs on the basis of normalized hypervolume and relative coverage. Aim 4 is to develop a general sensor / feature optimization framework for LMR that effectively eliminates not only irrelevant or redundant features but also unneeded measurement signals while still maintaining performance. We apply the proposed framework for locomotion mode prediction of several transfemoral individuals with a powered knee-ankle prosthesis. We categorize misclassification based on their impact on the user's walking stability and comfort. A deep neural network trained with an optimal subset found by the optimization framework results in 1.98% steady-state and 4.09% transitional error rates, while only using approximately 41% and 53% of the available features and sensors, respectively. Aims 2-4 would potentially lead to less frequent clinical visits needed for sensor replacement and calibration, which may save health care costs and the prosthesis user's time and energy. Aim 5 is to develop an ensembling LMR system with environmental awareness. We incorporate the terrain conditions (e.g., level walking, stair ascent, and stair descent) in the LMR design to provide valuable subject-independent prior information about the upcoming locomotion modes. We construct an efficient deep convolutional neural network through transfer learning from RGB images captured during various walking tasks. Predicted terrain is combined with mechanical data to design an… Advisors/Committee Members: Simon, Dan (Advisor).

▼ When joint stiffnesses are affected by injuries or illnesses they can interfere with gait and with activities of daily living, work, and leisure. Biomechanical models have been proposed for describing the effects of various conditions and interventions on the phases of gait. This dissertation reports the development of a planar piecewise continuous lumped muscle parameter (PPCLMP) model for investigating how different joint stiffnesses affect the gait phases individually and collectively. The proposed PPCLMP model characterizes the movements of lower limbs during each gait phase by a simplified dynamic system: the single stance phase by an inverted pendulum, the double stance phase by a kinematic chain, and the swing phase by a double pendulum. The model uses lumped muscle parameters to characterize the joint torques during each phase. The phase continuity is achieved by setting the joint angles and angular velocities at the end of one phase equal to those at the start of the next phase. The model can predict gait movements from given initial conditions (initial joint angles and angular velocities), anthropometry, lumped muscle parameters, and joint stiffness in a forward-dynamic mode. Also, if the gait movements are known, the model could estimate the lumped muscle parameters in an inverse dynamic mode. In the first study, the model was used in the forward-dynamic mode to predict joint angles and gait parameters for six healthy subjects’ anthropometry, ankle joint stiffnesses (without ankle-foot orthosis (AFO), with a low-stiffness AFO, and with a high-stiffness AFO), initial conditions, and constant lumped muscle parameters. Results showed that the trend of gait parameters changings (longer step length and shorter swing time on the AFO side for higher AFO stiffness) with different AFO stiffnesses were qualitatively well predicted by the model but quantitative prediction accuracy was limited (the mean errors were 0.15 m and 5% for the predicted step length and swing time, respectively) due to the constant values of lump muscle parameters. The second study examined the use of the model in an inverse-dynamic mode using data from a single inertial measurement unit (IMU) attached to the lower shank in order to estimate the initial conditions and lumped muscle parameters for each gait cycle. These were used by the model in the forward-dynamic mode to enhance the gait prediction. Results from two patients wearing AFOs demonstrated that the model prediction was markedly improved comparing with the first study by utilizing the inverse-dynamic mode as the mean RMSE was 0.07 m and 2% for predicted step length and swing time, respectively. The third study investigated the PPCLMP model prediction accuracy using the inverse and forward dynamic processes proposed in the second study. Three male and three female healthy subjects were recruited to walk with IMU-instrumented AFOs on their left feet to measure step lengths and swing time, while surface electrodes measured selected muscle activities for comparison with lumped muscle… Advisors/Committee Members: Armstrong, Thomas J (committee member), Shih, Albert J (committee member), Ashton-Miller, James A (committee member), Martin, Bernard J (committee member).

▼ Accurate risk assessment tools and methods are necessary to understand the relationship between occupational exposure to physical risk factors and musculoskeletal disorders. Ergonomists typically consider direct measurement methods to be the most objective and accurate of the available tools. However, direct measurement methods are often not used due to cost, practicality, and worker/workplace disruption. Inertial measurement units (IMUs), a relatively new direct measurement technology used to assess worker kinematics, are attractive to ergonomists due to their small size, low cost, and ability to reliably capture information across full working shifts. IMUs are often touted as a field-capable alternative to optical motion capture systems (OMCs). The error magnitudes of IMUs, however, can vary significantly (>15°) both within and across studies. The overall goals of this thesis were to (i) provide knowledge about the capabilities and limitations of IMUs in order to explain the inconsistencies observed in previous studies that assessed IMU accuracy, and (ii) provide guidance for the ergonomics community to leverage this technology. All three studies in this dissertation systematically evaluated IMUs using a repetitive material transfer task performed by thirteen participants with varying movement speeds (15, 30, 45 cycles/minute) and magnetic disturbance (absent, present). An OMC system was used as the reference device. This first study systematically evaluated the effects of motion speed and magnetic disturbance on the spatial orientation accuracy of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) worn on the hand. Root-mean-square differences (RMSD) exceeded 20° when inclination measurements (pitch and roll) were calculated using the IMU’s accelerometer. A linear Kalman filter and a proprietary, embedded Kalman filter reduced inclination RMSD to < 3° across all movement speeds. The RMSD in the heading direction (i.e., about gravity) increased (from < 5° to 17°) under magnetic disturbance. The linear Kalman filter and the embedded Kalman filter reduced heading RMSD to < 12° and < 7°, respectively. This study indicated that the use of IMUs and Kalman filters can improve inclinometer measurement accuracy. However, magnetic disturbances continue to limit the accuracy of three-dimensional IMU motion capture. The goal of the second study was to understand the capability of IMU inclinometers to improve estimates of angular displacements and velocities of the upper arm. RMSD and peak displacement error exceeded 11° and 28° at the fastest transfer rate (45 cycles/min) when upper arm elevation was calculated using the IMU accelerometer. The implementation of a Kalman filter reduced RMS and peak errors to < 1.5° and < 2.3°, respectively. Similarly, the RMS and peak error for accelerometer-derived velocities exceeded 81°/s and 221.3°/s, respectively, at the fastest transfer rate. The Kalman filter reduced RMS and peak errors to < 9.2°/s and < 25.1°/s, respectively. The third study was conducted to evaluate… Advisors/Committee Members: Fethke, Nathan B. (supervisor).

▼ Powered ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs), which are capable of providing assistive torque at the ankle joint, have significant potential as both assistance and rehabilitation devices. Technology advancements have led to great progression in the development of powered AFOs. Our group had developed the Portable Powered Ankle-Foot Orthosis (PPAFO) that was capable of providing bidirectional assistive torque at the ankle joint. Two generations of the PPAFO were previously developed. Both designs used two different off-the-shelf rotary actuators. This thesis consists of two studies focusing on the development of a new compact higher torque actuation system and the identification of a minimum sensor configuration for gait event detection for a powered AFO. Study 1 presents the design and evaluation of a new actuation system for the PPAFO (Generation 3.0). The actuation system utilized two dual-action linear actuators and a customized gear train. Compared with the previous designs, it generated higher torque and power while providing a thinner lateral profile. The new design had a total weight of (680g) and was capable of generating 32 Nm torque and 110 W power. While running under the same torque and power level as the previous designs, the new design offered better longevity (42.9% and 81.4% increases in normalized run time for test bench emulation and treadmill walking). Although the overall weight of the new actuation system had a 20% increase compared with previous design, it could generate 166.7% more torque and 120% more power, which will enable us to test the system at various torque and power settings. Study 2 investigated the minimum sensor configuration for detecting gait events. Knowledge of the expected orientation and behavior of a limb as related to specific events during the gait cycle (or state timing as a function of the percentage of the gait cycle, % GC) is essential to allow appropriate control of a powered AFO. A total of five sensors were selected (two force sensitive sensors, one ankle angle sensor, and two inertial measurement units (IMU)). The performances of selected sensor configurations were quantified and compared through state-based and event-based approaches in terms of gait state estimation and gait event detection timing, respectively. Gait data were collected from five healthy subjects while walking on a treadmill wearing the Gen 3.0 PPAFO. Results indicated that, while single IMU configurations (located on the shank or foot) both outperformed all other configurations (mean state estimation error: < 2% GC; mean event detection timing error: < 23 ms), the shank IMU was able to detect more gait events than the foot IMU. Since more detectable events could improve the system's robustness (i.e., adjusting to variable speeds) by updating estimation more frequently, a single shank IMU configuration was recommended for powered AFO applications.
