Article Abstract

Despite the potential benefits of Person Generated Health Data (PGHD), data quality issues impede its use. This study examined the effect of different methods for filtering armband data on determining the amount of healthy walking and the consistency between healthy walking captured using armbands and health diaries. Four weeks of armband and health diary data were acquired from 103 college students. Armband data filtering was performed using heart rate measures and minimum daily step counts as a proxy for adequate daily wear time. No substantial differences in the filtered armband datasets were observed by filtering methods. Significant gaps were observed between healthy walking amounts determined from armband data and through the health diary. Future studies need to explore more diverse data filtering methods and their impact on health outcome assessments.

Neuroprostheses capable of providing Somatotopic Sensory Feedback (SSF) enables the restoration of tactile sensations in amputees, thereby enhancing prosthesis embodiment, object manipulation, balance and walking stability. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) represents a primary noninvasive technique for eliciting somatotopic sensations. Devices commonly used to evaluate the effectiveness of TENS stimulation are often bulky and main powered.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) causes pain and diminishes quality of life. Backward walking exercise (BWE) has been shown to improve lower muscle strength and reduce knee adduction moment, making it a recommended intervention for knee OA rehabilitation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of BWE combined with conventional rehabilitation programs on pain intensity and disability among individuals with knee OA.

The ability to detect small errors between sensory prediction in the brain and actual sensory feedback is important in rehabilitation after brain injury, where motor function needs to be restored. To date in the recent study, a delayed visual error detection task during upper limb movement was used to measure this ability for healthy participants or patients. However, this ability during walking, which is the most sought-after in brain-injured patients, was unclear.

Understanding foot kinetics is fundamental to analyzing human locomotion, offering critical insights into mechanical loads exerted on the feet. While vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) is widely used in biomechanics research, comprehensive 3D kinetic measurements, including ground reaction force (GRF), ground reaction moment (GRM), and center of pressure (CoP) along the anterior-posterior and medial-lateral axes, provide deeper insights for various applications. Smart insoles, though portable, cost-effective, and user-friendly, primarily capture vGRF and often generate lower-quality data than force plates and instrumented treadmills.

Background: A standardized walking instructor training program and a peer-delivered practice intervention were provided to the residents of a local community to investigate changes in their awareness of appropriate walking activities and community walking environments.

Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest design was used. Among the residents of the Hanbando-myeon, Yeongwol-gun, State of Gangwon, 303 men (64.
