A Semi-passive Planar Manipulandum for Upper-Extremity Rehabilitation.

Annals of biomedical engineering
Robotic rehabilitation is a promising approach to treat individuals with neurological or orthopedic disorders. However, despite significant advancements in the field of rehabilitation robotics, this technology has found limited traction in clinical p...

Evaluation of Decoding Algorithms for Estimating Bladder Pressure from Dorsal Root Ganglia Neural Recordings.

Annals of biomedical engineering
A closed-loop device for bladder control may offer greater clinical benefit compared to current open-loop stimulation devices. Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility of using single-unit recordings from sacral-level dorsal root ganglia (D...

The Identification and Tracking of Uterine Contractions Using Template Based Cross-Correlation.

Annals of biomedical engineering
The purpose of this paper is to outline a novel method of using template based cross-correlation to identify and track uterine contractions during labour. A purpose built six-channel Electromyography (EMG) device was used to collect data from consent...

An Intracardiac Soft Robotic Device for Augmentation of Blood Ejection from the Failing Right Ventricle.

Annals of biomedical engineering
We introduce an implantable intracardiac soft robotic right ventricular ejection device (RVED) for dynamic approximation of the right ventricular (RV) free wall and the interventricular septum (IVS) in synchrony with the cardiac cycle to augment bloo...

Objective Assessment of Endovascular Navigation Skills with Force Sensing.

Annals of biomedical engineering
Despite the increasing popularity of endovascular intervention in clinical practice, there remains a lack of objective and quantitative metrics for skill evaluation of endovascular techniques. Data relating to the forces exerted during endovascular p...

A Simple fMRI Compatible Robotic Stimulator to Study the Neural Mechanisms of Touch and Pain.

Annals of biomedical engineering
This paper presents a simple device for the investigation of the human somatosensory system with functional magnetic imaging (fMRI). PC-controlled pneumatic actuation is employed to produce innocuous or noxious mechanical stimulation of the skin. Sti...

Novel Balloon Surface Scanning Device for Intraoperative Breast Endomicroscopy.

Annals of biomedical engineering
Recent advances in fluorescence confocal endomicroscopy have allowed real-time identification of residual tumour cells on the walls of the cavity left by breast conserving surgery. However, it is difficult to systematically survey the surgical site b...

Automatic Sleep Stage Scoring Using Time-Frequency Analysis and Stacked Sparse Autoencoders.

Annals of biomedical engineering
We developed a machine learning methodology for automatic sleep stage scoring. Our time-frequency analysis-based feature extraction is fine-tuned to capture sleep stage-specific signal features as described in the American Academy of Sleep Medicine m...

Assessment of a Four-View Mammographic Image Feature Based Fusion Model to Predict Near-Term Breast Cancer Risk.

Annals of biomedical engineering
The purpose of this study was to develop and assess a new quantitative four-view mammographic image feature based fusion model to predict the near-term breast cancer risk of the individual women after a negative screening mammography examination of i...

Robotic-assisted gait training in neurological patients: who may benefit?

Annals of biomedical engineering
Regaining one's ability to walk is of great importance for neurological patients and is a major goal of all rehabilitation programs. Gait training of severely affected patients after the neurological event is technically difficult because of their mo...
