Task-oriented robotic rehabilitation for back mobility and functioning in a post-intensive care unit obese patient: A case report.

Journal of back and musculoskeletal rehabilitation
BackgroundIntensive care unit (ICU) acquired weakness is a detrimental condition characterized by muscle weakness, difficulty in weaning from mechanical ventilation, impaired mobility, and functional limitations, severely affecting overall quality of...

A hierarchy category of socially assistive robots' functions: Insights from older adults.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
Socially assistive robots (SARs) are increasingly recognized for their potential in helping older adults age in place. Effectively meeting the diverse needs of older adults requires a proper classification of SARs' functions. However, existing functi...

Effectiveness of robot-assisted task-oriented training intervention for upper limb and daily living skills in stroke patients: A meta-analysis.

PloS one
PURPOSE: Stroke is one of the leading causes of acquired disability in adults in high-income countries. This study aims to determine the intervention effects of robot-assisted task-oriented training on enhancing the upper limb function and daily livi...

Logical reasoning for human activity recognition based on multisource data from wearable device.

Scientific reports
Smart wearable devices detection and recording of people's everyday activities is critical for health monitoring, helping persons with disabilities, and providing care for the elderly. Most of the research that is being conducted uses a machine learn...

Towards the automatic detection of activities of daily living using eye-movement and accelerometer data with neural networks.

Computers in biology and medicine
Early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, improves treatment and care outcomes for patients. Early signs of cognitive decline can be detected using functional scales, which are written records completed by a clinicia...

Assessing Locomotive Syndrome Through Instrumented Five-Time Sit-to-Stand Test and Machine Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Locomotive syndrome (LS) refers to a condition where individuals face challenges in performing activities of daily living. Early detection of such deterioration is crucial to reduce the need for nursing care. The Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale (...

Activities of Daily Living Object Dataset: Advancing Assistive Robotic Manipulation with a Tailored Dataset.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The increasing number of individuals with disabilities-over 61 million adults in the United States alone-underscores the urgent need for technologies that enhance autonomy and independence. Among these individuals, millions rely on wheelchairs and of...

Machine learning insights on activities of daily living disorders in Chinese older adults.

Experimental gerontology
OBJECTIVE: This study on the aged population in China first used a large-scale longitudinal survey database to explore how different life factors affect their ability to engage in daily activities. We select and integrate multiple machine models to o...

Social Robots and Sensors for Enhanced Aging at Home: Mixed Methods Study With a Focus on Mobility and Socioeconomic Factors.

JMIR aging
BACKGROUND: Population aging affects society, with a profound impact on daily activities for those of a low socioeconomic status and with motor impairments. Social assistive robots (SARs) and monitoring technologies can improve older adults' well-bei...

Predicting frailty in older patients with chronic pain using explainable machine learning: A cross-sectional study.

Geriatric nursing (New York, N.Y.)
Frailty is common among older adults with chronic pain, and early identification is crucial in preventing adverse outcomes like falls, disability, and dementia. However, effective tools for identifying frailty in this population remain limited. This ...
