User preference optimization for control of ankle exoskeletons using sample efficient active learning.

Science robotics
One challenge to achieving widespread success of augmentative exoskeletons is accurately adjusting the controller to provide cooperative assistance with their wearer. Often, the controller parameters are "tuned" to optimize a physiological or biomech...

Research on an ankle rehabilitation robot for hemiplegic patients after stroke.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
This paper proposes an ankle rehabilitation robot to assist hemiplegic patients with movement training. The robot consists of two symmetric mechanisms, allowing stroke survivors to execute ankle rehabilitation training based on physiological differen...

Using Deep Learning Models to Predict Prosthetic Ankle Torque.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Inverse dynamics from motion capture is the most common technique for acquiring biomechanical kinetic data. However, this method is time-intensive, limited to a gait laboratory setting, and requires a large array of reflective markers to be attached ...

Artificial intelligence in foot and ankle surgery: current concepts.

Orthopadie (Heidelberg, Germany)
The twenty-first century has proven that data are the new gold. Artificial intelligence (AI) driven technologies might potentially change the clinical practice in all medical specialities, including orthopedic surgery. AI has a broad spectrum of subc...

MAKO robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty cannot reduce the aggravation of ankle varus incongruence after genu varus correction ≥ 10°: a radiographic assessment.

BMC musculoskeletal disorders
INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to investigate the ankle alignment alterations after the correction of knee varus deformity in MAKO robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (MA-TKA).

The Emerging Role of Automation, Measurement Standardization, and Artificial Intelligence in Foot and Ankle Imaging: An Update.

Foot and ankle clinics
In the past few years, advances in clinical imaging in the realm of foot and ankle have been consequential and game changing. Improvements in the hardware aspects, together with the development of computer-assisted interpretation and intervention too...

Voluntary Assist-as-Needed Controller for an Ankle Power-Assist Rehabilitation Robot.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Although existing assist-as-needed (AAN) controllers have been designed to adapt the robotic assistance to patients' movement performance, they ignore patient's active participation. This study proposed a voluntary AAN (VAAN) controller co...

Automatic Identification of Ultrasound Images of the Tibial Nerve in Different Ankle Positions Using Deep Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Peripheral nerve tension is known to be related to the pathophysiology of neuropathy; however, assessing this tension is difficult in a clinical setting. In this study, we aimed to develop a deep learning algorithm for the automatic assessment of tib...
