In rehabilitation robotics, optimizing energy consumption and high interaction forces is essential to prevent unnecessary muscle fatigue and excessive joint loading as they often cause an inefficient trajectory planning and disrupt natural movement p...
This study developed and evaluated a deep learning (DL)-based system for automatically measuring talar tilt and anterior talar translation on weight-bearing ankle radiographs, which are key parameters in diagnosing ankle joint instability. The system...
Many previous works on wearable soft exosuits have primarily focused on assisting human motion, while overlooking safety concerns during movement. This article introduces a novel single-motor, altering bi-directional transfer soft exosuit based on im...
Maintaining the balance and safety of the exoskeleton human-robot coupling system is a prerequisite for realizing the rehabilitation training function. Therefore, research on the balance of lower limb exoskeleton robots has attracted much attention. ...

BACKGROUND: Accurate measurement of the hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle is essential for informed clinical decision-making in the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Knee OA is commonly associated with varus deformity, where the alignment of the knee ...
OBJECTIVE: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) frequently develops as a result of lateral ankle sprains (LAS) in delivery service workers (DSWs). Identifying risk factors for CAI is crucial for implementing targeted interventions. This study aimed to dev...
