Evaluating pelvic external forces and moments in assisted walking: implications for the development of robotic-assisted walkers by Hiroki Aoyama, Daijiro Tsutsumi, Katsushi Ogawa, Seonghee Jeong

“…Two healthy adult volunteers simulating individuals with limited right lower-limb load (approximately 70% of body weight) walked with a wheeled walker while eight PTs provided manual assistance by applying external forces and moments to the participants’ pelvis via a sensor-equipped pelvic belt. Data analysis revealed recurring patterns and notable periodicity (Average Peak Cross-Correlation Coefficient, APCC $$\ge$$ ≥ 0.6) in several key assistive actions: forward force by the right hand (0.175 N/kg at 19% of gait cycle), upward force by the left hand (0.475 N/kg at 30%), pelvic rotational moment by the left hand (0.013 Nm/kg at 44%), and upward force by the right hand (0.212 N/kg at 79%). …”

A mathematical model that predicts human biological age from physiological traits identifies environmental and genetic factors that influence aging by Sergiy Libert, Alex Chekholko, Cynthia Kenyon

“…We created a model that predicts an individual’s age from physiological traits that change with age in the large UK Biobank dataset, such as blood pressure, lung function, strength, and stimulus-reaction time. The model predicted a person’s age with best accuracy when it heavily weighted traits that together query multiple organ systems, arguing that most or all physiological systems (lung, heart, brain, etc.) contribute to the global phenotype of chronological age. …”
