Upper limb activity of twenty myoelectric prosthesis users and twenty healthy anatomically intact adults (2019)
Journal Article

The upper limb activity of twenty unilateral upper limb myoelectric prosthesis users and twenty anatomically intact adults were recorded over a 7-day period using two wrist worn accelerometers (Actigraph, LLC). This dataset reflects the real-world ac... Read More about Upper limb activity of twenty myoelectric prosthesis users and twenty healthy anatomically intact adults.

Methods to characterize the real-world use of rollators using inertial sensors – a feasibility study (2019)
Journal Article
Sun, M., Kenney, L., Thies, S., & Costamagna, L. (2019). Methods to characterize the real-world use of rollators using inertial sensors – a feasibility study. IEEE Access, 7, https://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2019.2919286

Rollators are widely used by people with mobility problems, but previous studies have been limited to self-report approaches when evaluating their real-world effectiveness. To support studies based on more robust datasets, a method to estimate mobili... Read More about Methods to characterize the real-world use of rollators using inertial sensors – a feasibility study.

Objective measures of rollator user stability and device loading during different walking scenarios (2019)
Journal Article

Walking aids are widely used by older adults, however, alarmingly, their use has been linked to increased falls-risk, yet clinicians have no objective way of assessing user stability. This work aims to demonstrate the application of a novel methodolo... Read More about Objective measures of rollator user stability and device loading during different walking scenarios.
