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...

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...
