The ability of ankle rehabilitation robots to accurately mimicking the actual human ankle motion is an important judgment basis for robot-assisted rehabilitation training. This paper proposes an evaluation index and mechanism parameter optimization m...
BACKGROUND: Robotic solutions for ankle joint physical therapy have extensively been researched. The optimal frequency and intensity of training for patients when using the ankle robot is not known which can affect rehabilitation outcome.

This study developed and evaluated deep learning models for prediction of hip knee ankle angle (HKAA) measurements on postoperative full-limb radiographs of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. The process involved extracting regions of interest (...
The purpose of this work is to investigate the efficiency of wearable assistive devices under different load-carriage walking. We designed an experimental platform with a lightweight ankle-assisted robot. Eight subjects were tested in three experimen...
BACKGROUND: While Walkbot-assisted locomotor training (WLT) provided ample evidence on balance and gait improvements, the therapeutic effects on cardiopulmonary and psychological elements as well as fall confidence are unknown in stroke survivors.
To determine whether we could train convolutional neural network (CNN) models de novo with a small dataset, a total of 596 normal and abnormal ankle cases were collected and processed. Single- and multiview models were created to determine the effect...
