The feasibility of using robotic technology to quantify sensory, motor, and cognitive impairments associated with ALS.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis & frontotemporal degeneration
OBJECTIVE: We used the KINARM robot to quantify impairments in cognitive and upper-limb sensorimotor performance in a cohort of people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We sought to study the feasibility of using this technology for ALS resea...

Automatic prediction of intelligible speaking rate for individuals with ALS from speech acoustic and articulatory samples.

International journal of speech-language pathology
: This research aimed to automatically predict intelligible speaking rate for individuals with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) based on speech acoustic and articulatory samples. Twelve participants with ALS and two normal subjects produced a tot...

Machine Learning Reveals Protein Signatures in CSF and Plasma Fluids of Clinical Value for ALS.

Scientific reports
We use shotgun proteomics to identify biomarkers of diagnostic and prognostic value in individuals diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Matched cerebrospinal and plasma fluids were subjected to abundant protein depletion and analyzed by nano...

String Grammar Unsupervised Possibilistic Fuzzy C-Medians for Gait Pattern Classification in Patients with Neurodegenerative Diseases.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Neurodegenerative diseases that affect serious gait abnormalities include Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Huntington disease (HD). These diseases lead to gait rhythm distortion that can be determined by stride time ...

Multicenter validation of [F]-FDG PET and support-vector machine discriminant analysis in automatically classifying patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis versus controls.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis & frontotemporal degeneration
OBJECTIVE: F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) single-center studies using support vector machine (SVM) approach to differentiate amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) from controls have shown high overall accuracy on an ind...

Artificial intelligence in neurodegenerative disease research: use of IBM Watson to identify additional RNA-binding proteins altered in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Acta neuropathologica
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease with no effective treatments. Numerous RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have been shown to be altered in ALS, with mutations in 11 RBPs causing familial forms of the disease, a...

Deep learning predictions of survival based on MRI in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

NeuroImage. Clinical
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neuromuscular disease, with large variation in survival between patients. Currently, it remains rather difficult to predict survival based on clinical parameters alone. Here, we set out to use clin...

Design of Biomedical Robots for Phenotype Prediction Problems.

Journal of computational biology : a journal of computational molecular cell biology
Genomics has been used with varying degrees of success in the context of drug discovery and in defining mechanisms of action for diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative and rare diseases in the quest for orphan drugs. To improve its utility, accur...

A novel approach for analysis of altered gait variability in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Gait variability reflects important information for the maintenance of human beings' health. For pathological populations, changes in gait variability signal the presence of abnormal motor control strategies. Quantitative analysis of the altered gait...

Molecular classification of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by unsupervised clustering of gene expression in motor cortex.

Neurobiology of disease
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive and ultimately fatal neurodegenerative disease, caused by the loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Although 10% of ALS cases are familial (FALS), the majority are sporadic (S...
