Filament sensing tension: A bionic artificial tendon for self-force-regulated artificial muscle-driven wearable robotics.

Artificial muscles have been in development for decades and play a crucial role in the field of wearable robotics. However, a universal device for both sensing and regulating forces in artificial muscles is still absent, rendering scenario-required force control unfeasible. Inspired by Golgi tendon organs, this work proposes bionic ExoTendon for force sensing and regulating in artificial muscles a...

Predicting minimal clinically important difference after hip arthroscopy: logistic regression versus machine learning.

PURPOSE: Hip arthroscopy outcomes for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) remain heterogeneous, with 30-40% of patients failing to achieve meaningful improvement. We aimed to develop and validate a predictive model for achievement of minimal clinically important difference (MCID) using routine preoperative variables, and to compare logistic regression with machine learning algorithms. METHODS: We r...
