Passive knee exoskeletons in functional tasks: Biomechanical effects of a SpringExo coil-spring on squats by Rand Hidayah, Dongbao Sui, Kennedi A. Wade, Biing-Chwen Chang, Sunil Agrawal

“…The results show that the SpringExo significantly decreased rectus femoris activation during ascent (−2%) without significantly affecting either the bicep femoris or rectus femoris muscle activations in descent. This implies that the user could perform a descent without added effort and ascent with reduced effort. …”

Automated Optic Disc Segmentation Using Basis Splines-Based Active Contour by J. H. Gagan, Harshit S. Shirsat, Yogish S. Kamath, Neetha I. R. Kuzhuppilly, J. R. Harish Kumar

“…The energy of the active contour is defined by the local contrast and is optimized with respect to five free parameters to get the best fit on the optic disc using gradient descent technique and Green’s theorem. The use of gradient descent technique and Green’s theorem reduces the computational cost and speeds up the segmentation task. …”

Locomotion Mode Recognition Algorithm Based on Gaussian Mixture Model Using IMU Sensors by Dongbin Shin, Seungchan Lee, Seunghoon Hwang

“…To compensate the walking problems, the terrain environment must be considered, and in this study, we developed the locomotion mode recognition (LMR) algorithm based on the gaussian mixture model (GMM) using inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors to classify the five terrains (level walking, stair ascent/descent, ramp ascent/descent). In order to meet the walking conditions of the elderly people, the walking speed index from 20 to 89 years old was used, and the beats per minute (BPM) method was adopted considering the speed range for each age groups. …”
