[Autonomous assitive robots for older people at home: An exploratory study : "He is always there for me-and I for him too"].

Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie
The use of autonomous assistive robots in the domestic environment of old people and the possible effects on the quality of life is a relatively new field of research. Given the relatively limited technical robustness of these robots, autonomous assi...

Characterization and wearability evaluation of a fully portable wrist exoskeleton for unsupervised training after stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Chronic hand and wrist impairment are frequently present following stroke and severely limit independence in everyday life. The wrist orientates and stabilizes the hand before and during grasping, and is therefore of critical importance i...

Development and Validation of Machine Learning-Based Prediction for Dependence in the Activities of Daily Living after Stroke Inpatient Rehabilitation: A Decision-Tree Analysis.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Accurate prediction using simple and changeable variables is clinically meaningful because some known-predictors, such as stroke severity and patients age cannot be modified with rehabilitative treatment. There are limited cli...

Radiographic Indices Are Not Predictive of Clinical Outcomes Among 1735 Patients Indicated for Hip Arthroscopic Surgery: A Machine Learning Analysis.

The American journal of sports medicine
BACKGROUND: The relationship between the preoperative radiographic indices for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and postoperative patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) scores continues to be under investigation, with inconsistent findin...

Users with spinal cord injury experience of robotic Locomotor exoskeletons: a qualitative study of the benefits, limitations, and recommendations.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) may experience both psychological and physiological benefits from robotic locomotor exoskeleton use, and knowledgeable users may have valuable perspectives to inform future development. The objective ...

Application of Machine Learning Methods in Nursing Home Research.

International journal of environmental research and public health
A machine learning (ML) system is able to construct algorithms to continue improving predictions and generate automated knowledge through data-driven predictors or decisions. Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare six ML methods (random...

Effects of Exoskeletal Lower Limb Robot Training on the Activities of Daily Living in Stroke Patients: Retrospective Pre-Post Comparison Using Propensity Score Matched Analysis.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
PURPOSE: There is limited evidence of gait training using newly developed exoskeletal lower limb robot called Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) on the function and ability to perform ADL in stroke patients. In clinical settings, we frequently find it chall...

Controlling a robotic arm for functional tasks using a wireless head-joystick: A case study of a child with congenital absence of upper and lower limbs.

PloS one
Children with movement impairments needing assistive devices for activities of daily living often require novel methods for controlling these devices. Body-machine interfaces, which rely on body movements, are particularly well-suited for children as...

Machine Learning Approaches for Fracture Risk Assessment: A Comparative Analysis of Genomic and Phenotypic Data in 5130 Older Men.

Calcified tissue international
The study aims were to develop fracture prediction models by using machine learning approaches and genomic data, as well as to identify the best modeling approach for fracture prediction. The genomic data of Osteoporotic Fractures in Men, cohort Stud...

Effects of a Humanoid Companion Robot on Dementia Symptoms and Caregiver Distress for Residents in Long-Term Care.

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
OBJECTIVES: To test the effects of deploying a humanoid companion robot (Kabochan) in comparison with usual care for long-term care facilities' residents with dementia.
