Bicycling Phase Recognition for Lower Limb Amputees Using Support Vector Machine Optimized by Particle Swarm Optimization.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
A novel method for recognizing the phases in bicycling of lower limb amputees using support vector machine (SVM) optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed in this paper. The method is essential for enhanced prosthetic knee joint cont...

Replicating dynamic humerus motion using an industrial robot.

PloS one
Transhumeral percutaneous osseointegrated prostheses provide upper-extremity amputees with increased range of motion, more natural movement patterns, and enhanced proprioception. However, direct skeletal attachment of the endoprosthesis elevates the ...

Myoelectric digit action decoding with multi-output, multi-class classification: an offline analysis.

Scientific reports
The ultimate goal of machine learning-based myoelectric control is simultaneous and independent control of multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs), including wrist and digit artificial joints. For prosthetic finger control, regression-based methods are ty...

Exploring augmented grasping capabilities in a multi-synergistic soft bionic hand.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: State-of-the-art bionic hands incorporate hi-tech devices which try to overcome limitations of conventional single grip systems. Unfortunately, their complexity often limits mechanical robustness and intuitive prosthesis control. Recently...

A practical 3D-printed soft robotic prosthetic hand with multi-articulating capabilities.

PloS one
Soft robotic hands with monolithic structure have shown great potential to be used as prostheses due to their advantages to yield light weight and compact designs as well as its ease of manufacture. However, existing soft prosthetic hands design were...

A Subject-Transfer Framework Based on Single-Trial EMG Analysis Using Convolutional Neural Networks.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
In recent years, electromyography (EMG)-based practical myoelectric interfaces have been developed to improve the quality of daily life for people with physical disabilities. With these interfaces, it is very important to decode a user's movement int...

Locomotion Mode Recognition With Robotic Transtibial Prosthesis in Inter-Session and Inter-Day Applications.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Locomotion mode recognition across multiple sessions and days is an indispensable step towards the practical use of the robotic transtibial prosthesis. In this study, we proposed an adaptive recognition strategy to against the time-varying features o...

A CNN-Based Method for Intent Recognition Using Inertial Measurement Units and Intelligent Lower Limb Prosthesis.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Powered intelligent lower limb prosthesis can actuate the knee and ankle joints, allowing transfemoral amputees to perform seamless transitions between locomotion states with the help of an intent recognition system. However, prior intent recognition...

Counteracting Electrode Shifts in Upper-Limb Prosthesis Control via Transfer Learning.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Research on machine learning approaches for upper-limb prosthesis control has shown impressive progress. However, translating these results from the lab to patient's everyday lives remains a challenge because advanced control schemes tend to break do...

Deep Learning Movement Intent Decoders Trained With Dataset Aggregation for Prosthetic Limb Control.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
SIGNIFICANCE: The performance of traditional approaches to decoding movement intent from electromyograms (EMGs) and other biological signals commonly degrade over time. Furthermore, conventional algorithms for training neural network based decoders m...
