Introduction to a Twin Dual-Axis Robotic Platform for Studies of Lower Limb Biomechanics.

IEEE journal of translational engineering in health and medicine
This paper presents a twin dual-axis robotic platform system which is designed for the characterization of postural balance under various environmental conditions and quantification of bilateral ankle mechanics in 2 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) during st...

Predicting hip-knee-ankle and femorotibial angles from knee radiographs with deep learning.

The Knee
BACKGROUND: Knee alignment affects the development and surgical treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Automating femorotibial angle (FTA) and hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) measurement from radiographs could improve reliability and save time. Further, if HKA...

Evaluation of ensemble strategy on the development of multiple view ankle fracture detection algorithm.

The British journal of radiology
OBJECTIVE: To identify the feasibility and efficiency of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) in the detection of ankle fractures and to explore ensemble strategies that applied multiple projections of radiographs.Ankle radiographs (AXRs) are t...

Prospective intraindividual comparison of a standard 2D TSE MRI protocol for ankle imaging and a deep learning-based 2D TSE MRI protocol with a scan time reduction of 48.

La Radiologia medica
PURPOSE: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan time remains a limited and valuable resource. This study evaluates the diagnostic performance of a deep learning (DL)-based accelerated TSE study protocol compared to a standard TSE study protocol in ank...

Exoskeletons need to react faster than physiological responses to improve standing balance.

Science robotics
Maintaining balance throughout daily activities is challenging because of the unstable nature of the human body. For instance, a person's delayed reaction times limit their ability to restore balance after disturbances. Wearable exoskeletons have the...

Multiclass datasets expand neural network utility: an example on ankle radiographs.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence in computer vision has been increasingly adapted in clinical application since the implementation of neural networks, potentially providing incremental information beyond the mere detection of pathology. As its algori...

Robotic Technology in Foot and Ankle Surgery: A Comprehensive Review.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Recent developments in robotic technologies in the field of orthopaedic surgery have largely been focused on higher volume arthroplasty procedures, with a paucity of attention paid to robotic potential for foot and ankle surgery. The aim of this pape...

Leg Muscle Activity and Joint Motion during Balance Exercise Using a Newly Developed Weight-Shifting-Based Robot Control System.

International journal of environmental research and public health
A novel and fun exercise robot (LOCOBOT) was developed to improve balance ability. This system can control a spherical robot on a floor by changing the center of pressure (COP) based on weight-shifting on a board. The present study evaluated leg musc...

The effect of the 2-UPS/RR ankle rehabilitation robot with coupling biomechanical model on muscle behaviors.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
With the popularization of biomechanical simulation technology, aiming at the rehabilitation of ankle joint injury, we imported simplified model of proposed 2-UPS/RR (two identical unconstraint kinematic branches with a universal-prismatic-spherical ...

Generating an Adaptive and Robust Walking Pattern for a Prosthetic Ankle-Foot by Utilizing a Nonlinear Autoregressive Network With Exogenous Inputs.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
One of the major challenges in developing powered lower limb prostheses is emulating the behavior of an intact lower limb with different walking speeds over diverse terrains. Numerous studies have been conducted on control algorithms in the field of ...
