Human Collaborative Control of Lower-Limb Prosthesis Based on Game Theory and Fuzzy Approximation.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
For leg prosthesis user, the soft tissue and skin under the stump of are not accustomed to weight bearing, excessive continuous contact pressure can lead to the risk of degenerative tissue ulceration. This article presents a novel human-robot collabo...

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Transtibial Prosthetic Socket Shape Design Using Artificial Intelligence: A Clinical Comparison With Traditional Plaster Cast Socket Designs.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of creating an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to enhance prosthetic socket shapes for transtibial prostheses, aiming for a less operator-dependent, standardized approach.

Restoration of grasping in an upper limb amputee using the myokinetic prosthesis with implanted magnets.

Science robotics
The loss of a hand disrupts the sophisticated neural pathways between the brain and the hand, severely affecting the level of independence of the patient and the ability to carry out daily work and social activities. Recent years have witnessed a rap...

Robotic-Enhanced Prosthetic Liners for Vibration Therapy: Reducing Phantom Limb Pain in Transfemoral Amputees.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Phantom limb pain, a common challenge for amputees, lacks effective treatment options. Vibration therapy is a promising non-pharmacologic intervention for reducing pain intensity, but its efficacy in alleviating phantom limb pain requires further inv...

L Test Subtask Segmentation for Lower-Limb Amputees Using a Random Forest Algorithm.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Functional mobility tests, such as the L test of functional mobility, are recommended to provide clinicians with information regarding the mobility progress of lower-limb amputees. Smartphone inertial sensors have been used to perform subtask segment...

Vision-aided grasp classification: design and evaluation of compact CNN for prosthetic hands.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
Powered prosthetic hands capable of executing various grasp patterns are highly sought-after solutions for upper limb amputees. A crucial requirement for such prosthetic hands is the accurate identification of the intended grasp pattern and subsequen...

An Improved Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) Algorithm for Intent Recognition of Transfemoral Amputees With Powered Knee Prosthesis.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
To overcome the challenges posed by the complex structure and large parameter requirements of existing classification models, the authors propose an improved extreme learning machine (ELM) classifier for human locomotion intent recognition in this st...

Deep learning approach to improve the recognition of hand gesture with multi force variation using electromyography signal from amputees.

Medical engineering & physics
Variations in muscular contraction are known to significantly impact the quality of the generated EMG signal and the output decision of a proposed classifier. This is an issue when the classifier is further implemented in prosthetic hand design. Ther...

Robotic Leg Prosthesis: A Survey From Dynamic Model to Adaptive Control for Gait Coordination.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Gait coordination (GC), meaning that one leg moves in the same pattern but with a specific phase lag to the other, is a spontaneous behavior in the walking of a healthy person. It is also crucial for unilateral amputees with the robotic leg prosthesi...

The gait1415+2 OpenSim musculoskeletal model of transfemoral amputees with a generic bone-anchored prosthesis.

Medical engineering & physics
This short communication presents the gait1415+2 musculoskeletal model, that has been developed in OpenSim to describe the lower-extremity of a human subject with transfemoral amputation wearing a generic lower-limb bone-anchored prosthesis. The mode...
