Evaluation of Online AI-Generated Foot and Ankle Surgery Information.

The Journal of foot and ankle surgery : official publication of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons
As a natural progression from educational pamphlets to the worldwide web, and now artificial intelligence (AI), OpenAI chatbots provide a simple way of obtaining pathology-specific patient information, however, little is known concerning the readabil...

Robot-aided assessment and associated brain lesions of impaired ankle proprioception in chronic stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Impaired ankle proprioception strongly predicts balance dysfunction in chronic stroke. However, only sparse data on ankle position sense and no systematic data on ankle motion sense dysfunction in stroke are available. Moreover, the lesio...

DE-AFO: A Robotic Ankle Foot Orthosis for Children with Cerebral Palsy Powered by Dielectric Elastomer Artificial Muscle.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Conventional passive ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) have not seen substantial advances or functional improvements for decades, failing to meet the demands of many stakeholders, especially the pediatric population with neurological disorders. Our objectiv...

Deep learning reconstruction for turbo spin echo to prospectively accelerate ankle MRI: A multi-reader study.

European journal of radiology
PURPOSE: To evaluate a deep learning reconstruction for turbo spin echo (DLR-TSE) sequence of ankle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in terms of acquisition time, image quality, and lesion detectability by comparing with conventional TSE.

Role of compliant mechanics and motor control in hopping - from human to robot.

Scientific reports
Compliant leg function found during bouncy gaits in humans and animals can be considered a role model for designing and controlling bioinspired robots and assistive devices. The human musculoskeletal design and control differ from distal to proximal ...

PedBotLab: A Novel Video Game-Based Robotic Ankle Platform Created for Therapeutic Exercise for Children With Neurological Impairments.

Physical & occupational therapy in pediatrics
AIMS: Assess the potential benefits of using PedBotLab, a clinic based robotic ankle platform with integrated video game software, to improve ankle active and passive range of motion, strength, selective motor control, gait efficiency, and balance.

From jargon to clarity: Improving the readability of foot and ankle radiology reports with an artificial intelligence large language model.

Foot and ankle surgery : official journal of the European Society of Foot and Ankle Surgeons
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of an Artificial Intelligence Large Language Model (AI-LLM) at improving the readability foot and ankle orthopedic radiology reports.

Human-Robot Joint Misalignment, Physical Interaction, and Gait Kinematic Assessment in Ankle-Foot Orthoses.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Lower limb exoskeletons and orthoses have been increasingly used to assist the user during gait rehabilitation through torque transmission and motor stability. However, the physical human-robot interface (HRi) has not been properly addressed. Current...

Human-in-the-Loop Adaptive Control of a Soft Exo-Suit With Actuator Dynamics and Ankle Impedance Adaptation.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
Soft exo-suit could facilitate walking assistance activities (such as level walking, upslope, and downslope) for unimpaired individuals. In this article, a novel human-in-the-loop adaptive control scheme is presented for a soft exo-suit, which provid...

Neural prosthesis control restores near-normative neuromechanics in standing postural control.

Science robotics
Current lower-limb prostheses do not provide active assistance in postural control tasks to maintain the user's balance, particularly in situations of perturbation. In this study, we aimed to address this missing function by enabling neural control o...
