CAN MICROPROCESSOR KNEES REDUCE THE DISPARITY IN TRIPS AND FALLS RISKS BETWEEN ABOVE AND BELOW KNEE PROSTHESIS USERS?

Can microprocessor knees reduce the disparity in trips and falls risks between above and below knee prosthesis users?

While all lower limb prosthesis walkers have a high risk of tripping and/or falling, above knee prosthesis users are reported to fall more frequently.Recognising this, engineers designed microprocessor knees (MPK) to help mitigate these risks, but to what extent these devices reduce this disparity between above and below knee users is unclear.A ser

Comparing Machine Learning Algorithms for Estimating the Maize Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI) Using UAV-Acquired Remotely Sensed Data in Smallholder Croplands

Monitoring and mapping crop water stress and variability at a farm scale for cereals such as maize, one of the most common crops in developing countries with 200 million people around the world, is an important objective within precision agriculture.In this regard, unmanned aerial vehicle-obtained multispectral and thermal imagery has been adopted
