A novel clinical rehabilitation method for patients who have permanent and non recoverable muscle denervation in the legs was developed in the frame of the European Project RISE.The technique is based on FES and the project results shows, in these severely disabled patients, restoration of muscle tissue and function.This study propose novel methods
In Huntington’s disease (HD), wearable inertial sensors could capture subtle changes in motor function.However, disease-specific validation of methods is necessary.This study presents an algorithm for walking bout and gait event detection in HD using a leg-worn accelerometer, validated only in the clinic and deployed in free-living condition
Balance and core stabilization exercises have often been associated with improved athlete performance and/or decreased incidence of injuries.While these exercises seem to be efficient in the prevention of injuries, there is insufficient evidence regarding their role in sport-specific performance and related functional movements.The aim of this scop
