Individuals with diminished walking performance caused by neuromuscular impairments often lack plantar flexion muscle activity. Robotic devices have been developed to address these issues and increase walking performance. While these devices have sho...
Traditional rehabilitation training for stroke patients with ankle joint issues typically relies on the expertise of physicians. However, when confronted with complex challenges, such as online decision-making or assessing rehabilitation progress, ev...

Accurate segmentation of ankle and foot bones from CT scans is essential for morphological analysis. Ankle and foot bone segmentation challenges due to the blurred bone boundaries, narrow inter-bone gaps, gaps in the cortical shell, and uneven spongy...
BackgroundProprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) alone has limited effectiveness in restoring gait, while robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) improves motor relearning through repetitive, task-specific movements. Combining PNF with robotic...

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...
BACKGROUND: The gold standard method for diagnosing low bone mineral density (BMD) is using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) however, most patients with low BMD are often not screened. We aimed to create a deep learning (DL) model to screen for...
