Intelligent Gait Assistive Technologies: Gait Biomechanics and Machine Learning Applications in Rehabilitation and Injury Prevention brings together contemporary research and applications to show how gait biomechanics combined with machine learning can be used to develop techniques to provide safer, more mechanically efficient locomotion to individuals with significant visual, musculoskeletal, or neurological deficits. Developments in gait rehabilitation and injury prevention outlined in this book will contribute to improved quality of life for individuals with gait-related impairments, with a major contribution to medical cost savings due to reduction in falls. Researchers, engineers, and students in biomedical engineering and biomechanics will find this a welcomed reference in better understanding the role of machine learning and intelligent technologies in the advancement of gait rehabilitation and injury reduction to both impaired and healthy individuals.

Autoren

Hanatsu Nagano specializes in gait biomechanics with special focus on application for practical interventions. He invented the special shoe-insole that reduces tripping, falls, and improves dynamic balance, which was awarded ‘Most Innovative New Care Product in the World’ for the three consecutive years. He is experienced in working closely with industry-leading research & development projects including regenerative medical technology, management of knee osteoarthritis, wearable sensor application, artificial intelligence, exercise intervention, and active exoskeletons. His entrepreneurship and business communication skills have successfully established various international academia-industry-government collaborations. He sets his current missions in developing smart footwear for safe walking, inventing regenerative technology integrated knee orthosis, coordinating health enhancing intervention programs for government-leading initiatives, establishing further synergy effects based on research-industry linkage, and promoting Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) and its core philosophy, Cybernics, worldwide.
