This research aims to investigate the IMU signals recorded during the Freeze of Gait events in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Freezing of gait, a common symptom of Parkinson’s disease, presents as sporadic episodes in which an individual’s feet suddenly feel stuck to the ground. Iner...

Running has become an increasingly popular way to become physically active and to support psychological health. Previous research indicates, that even individual sports like running are socially influenced. It has been shown, that ...
The exact function of the cerebellum during motor learning is a topic of ongoing research. One hypothesis describes the role of the cerebellum as a forward model whose main functions are sensorimotor prediction and error processing.
It generates a prediction of the intended movement outcome based o...

Many studies investigating the cortisol awakening response (CAR) suffer from a lack of precise and objective methods for assessing the awakening and saliva sampling times. Failure to correctly report times or to adhere to the study protocol, which is common in unsu...
The goal of this thesis is to find a controller that can reproduce realistic and robust standing / walking behaviour of a neuromusculoskeletal model based on physiological feedback. In a first step, this should be done using imitation learning from data that we recorded in a previous study. If that ...
